Station building missions no longer work

[andargor]

Before the patch, I had completed 30+ of these missions, so I know how they work. But none of the last 3 I put down will complete.

Ive never gotten one past "build a dock"

Not the player HQ quest, the quests from the factions to build stations for them: "pre-emptive defenses", "factory settings", "defensive measures", etc.

Mine have never seemed to work. I keep looking for what I've done wrong but I just end up with a small station all my own.

You absolutely need to set the mission active, fly to the sector, and see it update until it says claim plot. Then you claim the plot of the size it requires, buy the license and the mission should update to build station.

But right now building the station does not complete the quests.

I had the same thing. I built the station to spec and nothing happened, when i looked at the mission the first stage was still in yellow (goto syatem) so to get around this i simply left the system and when going back in my mission log advanced to the second stage (claim plot), so i just made the plot 1 size bigger to make it advance to the 3rd stage (build station) where to complete this i just simply moved a piece of structure and after i had done that the mission completed. :)

For me moving the build and reassigning a builder and confirming solved it once it was done.

I've read your guys' posts 5 times and I still quite understand what you are saying. So after the station completes, we have to reassign the builder and build another piece?

you drag the whole station and the builder will rebuild it for no extra material cost, which updates the quest.

Look at your mission objectives to see which one is in yellow, this will give you an idea as what you have to do to make it advance. If the 3 Rd part is in yellow (build Station) then moving the whole station slightly to force a complete rebuild might complete it.

It also might be worth a mention to check what type of storage the station needs to have.

how did you lay down a plot that wasnt a factory?

I finally got mine to work. I had it fully built but the plot size didnt count for reason. So it didnt get past that stage. I even made it 5x5x5 and it still wouldnt go. But for some reason when I added another single km, it worked. Then I had to drag and move the factory, so after it rebuilt it finally all worked and I got paid.

[isabasi]

You can do these missions with a "rented" builder right?

[Li77lehorn]

Yes

How strange. I’ve been trying like crazy and after the patch last night was the FIRST time I’ve gotten any of my 6 build quests to complete! Now trying to recreate my success with my other quests.

I don’t even want to abuse the system and delete the plots. I’m setting up hull part and engine part factories here devs. Throw me a bone ...

There is only one kind of plot. The mission text is just flavor.
