Alone Amidst the Stars mission bug? Can't Progress, Help?

[Silver]

So I have the above quest, but it just keeps telling me to "Investigate the Space Anomaly".

I have another quest in the Primary Missions log, called "The Space Anomaly", but it tells me pretty much the same thing except to "Explore the Space Anomaly". What the hell do I do here?

I have exhausted both Nada and Polo's dialogue to where they say one line and all I can do is leave. I have talked to everyone on the ship, and even purchased some blueprints as when I select the "Space Anomaly" mission, it tells me to visit a Technology Researcher, such as Selene, and that Researchers will create new blueprints from Nanites.

I have done the crashed ship part just before this and repaired the beacon next to it, then I started talking to Nada on the Anomaly, and then Polo, but now I can't seem to find what to do next?

I have also tried warping to different galaxies, creating an autosave then loading it again etc.

Thanks in advance, would like to progress with my bf who isn't experiencing this issue :(
(it could be me just being really dumb XD)

Did you happen to find a fix for this? My husband is having the exact same issue

So we just finally got it - he left the Anomaly and re-summoned it and the quest step reset! Hope you were able to figure out your issue as well :)

I did not find a fix, I restarted basically. I had a save from 2016 which I carried on from. Glad that worked for you but it didn't for me unfortunately.

In your case you must scan in space to get new waypoints to go on and maybe respond to a message sent to you (Quickmenu X > F).
Generally if a mission doesn't start - or you don't know what to do, make sure the mission is active in your log. The real description is not in the log but appears onscreen on the lower right after activating the mission and leaving the log menu, this may take some seconds to appear because the game guide shows other things too.

Nah my mission has already started, but it hasn't "ticked off the bullet points" as it were. E.g. it is telling me to speak to Nada when I have already exhausted his and Polo's dialogue. In the description in the lower right corner it says "Speak to lifeforms on the Anomaly" or something along those lines when I have already talked to everyone. I have tried scanning in space and checking the message comms but to no avail.

I have started afresh and gotten past this now as I found no solution, but I appreciate you trying to help :)

I never had this problem, when the dialogues with Polo/Nada are exhausted you leave Nexus, you change the mission in the log (from Space Anomaly to Alone admidst....) and you go on according to instructions...IIRC there alre always red waypoints to follow. Sounds simple? It is.

Unfortunately mine was just stuck XD like I said though I've got past it on a separate save now so no biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

Been doing exactly what the little box in the lower right says to do, and tried a bunch of suggestions from other people but nothing has worked so far. Old threads from 2018 exist detailing this exact issue. Even though some people get it to work a lot of people are having trouble with it, so something's broken somewhere - whether it's the quest instructions or an actual bug... who knows? If I try something that works I'll come back and post what I did.

Edit: 12 hours later the quest just decided to work. I had exited the game, came back in and did two other quests, then gave this on a try. I guess the trick is to leave it alone for a bit and cross your fingers. I was away from the game long enough for the 2nd triangulation point, the observatory, to re-set so I could use it again. Not sure if that's part of the reason it worked or not. They really need to add a "re-set last step" option if they're not going to fix all the broken quests. I'm also tired of the base computer deciding that I need to go to my third base, or my first base, randomly, especially when it picks one that isn't close. Luckily teleporters help with that.
