[SPOILER] Can't get Mr. Qi's mining quests.

[Vukmir]

It's been 2 years since i unlocked the golden walnut room and i've never seen "Danger in the deep" or " Skull cavern invasion" quests, therefore i can't get my hands on radioactive ore and my progression has halted. I've seen EVERY other Qi quests and completed multiple of them (Yes, junimo kart too, that game can go to hell.) Only thing i need for the "perfection" is the golden clock and radioactive ore related items, and every monday when i check the quest board i'm losing my sanity even more. Is this a bug? Am i doing something wrong? Or all of this is a cruel joke of RNGesus? I'm really tired of this ♥♥♥♥, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you just tried sleeping away the days to roll the quest for testing purposes? Backup the save first if you want to revert back.

I thought of doing this, but it kinda scares me. Since most of the "randomness" in this game is actually generated from save seed (if you use a certain tool you can calculate when to open a omni-geode to get a prismatic shard, or learn the inventory of all future traveling carts, trash can loot, your winter star gift giver and their gift etc.) and if i learn that i will get the quest in a far future i'll probably quit altogether. I might do this if i manage to build the golden clock and still haven't got the quests.

Sooo...how you doing with qi quest? I got the same problem too, it's been 1,5 year, nearly loose my ♥♥♥♥ here.

I was wondering about this in my own game on my current playthrough. I waited and waited for this quest to become available and I finally got it in summer, year 5! That's like two years after I finally got access to the golden walnut room. This was not the case on my first 1.5 playthrough though, so I am wondering if something happened in the most recent smaller updates? Did it become more rare? Or maybe I was just totally unlucky. I checked the web but couldn't find any special conditions for the quest to be offered so I guess it's random.

By the way, my post was about danger in the deep. I was offered the skull cavern invasion plenty of times along with collecting 4 prismatic shards and making it to the 100th floor in skull cavern without eating... Very annoying.

[estehmanis]

yeah. that's what i'm waiting for too. i've done other mine quest multiple times already. this one never show up.

I was wondering if there's another way other than waiting for RNGesus's graces. Like mods or restart spam.

I got Danger in the deep the first day of the year 5, 3 years later after i unlocked the walnut room. By the time i unlocked it, i had everything including golden clock.

Danger in the deep was an astonishing mission, new monsters, new environments, new ore and new recipes, but I couldn't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about anything it provided because i already had everything. Why do i need Heavy tapper when i have hundreds of resins and syrups? Why do i need Deluxe speed-gro when i have 1000+ ancient fruits crops? Why do i need Magic bait since i already have every single fish and can mass produce them in my ponds? They should've put this mission on like a sticky note somewhere in walnut room and you should be able to start it whenever you want. Waiting for it to appear completely ruined the entire mission because i just used staircases, get enough radioactive ores and didn't return ever.

Also i haven't got the skull cavern invasion, which AFAIK introduces new monsters too, but i don't even care, i'm completely done with this game until it gets another update.

Now that would have been very nice.

I like this game but I really hate how so much of the content is time-gated or luck-gated.

I have the same problem lol.

You can edit your save data to control which quest is offered, as explained by ChrillBill in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/0/3056238885188176211/

Create a backup before doing any save editing, just in case.
