1.0.1 bug(s)
Started a new random character run. Got a marauder esper. The game is bugged in a way that does not let me progress the main story.

I first noticed the problem when I tried butchering a corpse and it would not destroy the corpse and walk on the tile the corpse was at. Every time my charatcer tried it would give me another piece of meat until it filled my inventory and couldn't move.

Then I noticed lead slugs were not stacking properly and every time I reloaded it created a new "stack". I would then have to choose what stack I wanted to reload from. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389301471

I ended up not being able to progress the main story because the tinker at my starting desert canyons/hills village (can't remember) doesn't give me the quest to meet the barathrumites.

The dialogue option is there but when I pick it I don't get the pop-up of a new quest being added. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389301336

It doesn't appear in the quests tab https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389301471

And similar to what happened with butchering corpses, here are all the duplicated data disks that I got. One for each time I tried to accept the quest to meet the barathrumites https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3389301552

Does your Player.log show anything interesting?

You should be able to get the main quest going without the random starting village quest by having a disk. No idea if that one specifically would work, but the scratched one you can find on Argyves corpse in the Joppa ruins should let you enter and start the quest.

I have no idea how to read the player log. I wouldn't know how to spot something interesting happening.

As for the main quest, by the time I wrote the op I had tried to continue the quest with the village's stamped data disk to no avail. I didn't have the option to place it in the communications panel. I just went to the ruins of joppa to get the scratched data disk and, indeed, it let me proceed to the main quest with that one. It also showed me the option to put in the disk from joppa or the hills village. No idea what the problem was but getting the disk from argyve's corpse worked!

Still, something is weird about this save. The strange stacking bug is still happening and same with the butchering one so I probably won't keep going with it. On autoexplore the inventory keeps getting filled with pieces of meat until it hits the weight limit.
