Story - Starting the journey

[Fluffy The Destroyer]

I completed the tutorials and then went to start the solo missions.

The first one is start the journey. I've read the entire "log" on the screen and then I see the message that says to find another station or something similar

Here is the message: "
Commander, I am tracking an UCH fleet signal, sent from a nearby station

the signal source is not here - it's emitting from another position nearby!

This could be the first clue of what's happened to us, IDA!

Or it could be a trap.

We'll find out, I think

Let's start chasing the white rabbit, shall we ?
"

I saw a teleport station that belonged to POL but I can't use it since it needs a code which I don't have. I tried to repair it to maximum and still got nothing out of it. I tried to access the container to get something out of it and still got nothing.

I went to the console and it says ID not recognized so ...do I need some ID somewhere. I'm kind of lost here.

Even though I've done the quests a couple times, I still forget exactly where I'm supposed to go next, especially when the quest fails to update a marker on the map. It's not often, but the quest system does bug out on occasion. What I do when this happens, is to click on the box for the quest and autocomplete it. Save first obviously, but it should then prompt you to the next part of the quest, and usually fixes the lack of prompting.

You need to find a UCH wreckage POI first to get the codes, if I remember the quest correctly.

I just did that and i had to go to the Teleporter Station where i could do nothing, got a new Map Marker which lead me to a crashed UCH Vessel (where i got that ID Stuff) and then back to the Teleport Station. So i think normaly you should have a new Map Marker to continue with, if not try to manually complete the Quest stage like Rod_Shaft said.

I saw that UCH crashed ship and found everything in there, nothing I could find about the code.

[Asmodan]

I think you first need to manually complete the previous mission point, the next steps only works if you at the right quest stage.

[Fluffy The Destroyer]

I just skipped it by manually completing it. Sucks though cause somethings missing in the story. I kinda hate that.

SPOILER

A12-P.R. The "Starting the Journey" mission has start by going to the POI [Pol] Teleport Station.

You get a journal or two and dialog on the way there I think. Your IDA/PDA tells you about making sure you run "AI Routine 34". Then you are told to chase the signal, meaning go to the next POI in the quest chain.

Going to the next POI is where you find the UCH Heidelberg Wreckage POI near which is also near the UCH Damaged Dart Wreckage POI, not to be confused with the Damaged Hovercraft Wreckage POI.

Going to the crashed/wrecked Heidelberg the IDA has you go to three (pretty sure three) different points in the wrecked ship. The first two give you journals I think. The last one is at the Bridge. There I got a green "AI Routine 32 Key'. Yes the key is 32 not 34, even though other mission text mention "AI Routine 34".

Once you get that keycard from the Heidelberg wreck you are sent back to the [Pol] Teleport Station. I noted that there was a lot of damage at the Teleport Station. Once I spawned in a multitool and I repaired everything I could, event the devices under blocks. Just to see if that is what causes the explosion when you select "AI Routine 32". I also made sure the green keycard was selected in my hotbar to try to avoid exploding the Teleport Station.

There is a Lever / Keypad to the right of the console [that you are suppose "Talk" to]. I figured you are suppose to unlock that keypad with some four digit number. 0000, 3400, 0034, 34, 32 did not work. I did not find anywhere in my PDA log or mission tips what that number was. I combed the Heidelberg wreck for that code in three different seeded games and did not find it.

After the Teleport Station explodes I sat there one Day/Night cycle with shotgun in hand waiting to get attacked. The mission bullets on the right side of my screen said [0/2] so i assumed I'd be attacked by two entities or in two waves. Nothing ever came. And that is as far in the quests as I get at this point. I am hoping for someone to give me the 4-digit code or tell me where I can find it - or even if that is one actual possible outcome of that mission... so I can move on.

You entered the keycode to get to the point in the quest where you currently are.

You should have gotten two drones to spawn and attack you after the teleport station blew up. If they do not show, the quest is glitched on your system and to advance you should probably go into your pda and mark that quest stage complete. (Though you might also try hunting down other drones and see if that completes it.)

This is not the only quest stage where sometimes enemies fail to spawn.
