st elmos fire is there an end?

[BLÀde]

i practically have a wisp farm operation going with 10 traps so what am i supposed to do now just keep capturing them and turn them into lamps? it seems to never end :P

most boring mysery eva

There IS an ending, gotta be honest though and say I can't remember what triggered it -- will go and reload my save of it and see if that helps me remember :)

**Update** No idea what I did to finish the Mystery, took a screenshot of the "History" which I'll upload if you like (might contain spoilers).

i got the option to experiment on them or do a symbiotic relationship. i chose the later that's the end now?

I chose to do experiment on them, they are all lamp lights now or dead . But the Log wont close. Sol 200+, seem like this event is broken if you go with the experiment.

Necroposting is a punishable offence, you know?

That's just the game being bugged, sometimes, the quest just fails to finish properly.

Sorry did a search on it, and this was one if not the only posting that came close to my problem with the event just hanging on screen.

You can install a mod like ECM, and use it to force the quest to update.

The log hanging around is not the worst that could happen, though. I had cases where those stupid spheres got stuck, or even mysteries refusing to progress any further.

@Tex - I tried both endings and although the Mystery is actually over (when you get the Wonder or Breakthrough), wisps keep spawning together with more holes : / If in the past it was different, I cannot know. Where exactly your log is stuck? After capturing my first wisp I have just another entry (symbiotic way, you should have the other one) and nothing more.

If you choose to capture and experiment upon them, then they will run out soon enough.

I hoped so but after few nights that no one come out, suddenly a new hole and two wisps appeared -.- Didn't wait 50+ more Sols to see if something else was going to happens anyway.

[Alex]

There's a certain amount of them spawning, so if you finish the quest too quickly, some might appear later. I did play for about 30 sols after capturing them all, and no new ones showed up.

That is interesting : ) Do you know if they are limited in the other scenario (feed them) too? It is already clear that one scenario will get much less lamps while the other an endless supply, but will get even endless holes in the ground too? ^^' I'm still in time to test it myself in case, just not in the short period.

[Tex_Recoil]

Sorry guys, I decide that game was over. Deleted it and start a new game. I could tell you how it happened or I can even try to reproduce it ( might not come up with same problem again). Anyway I only ended up with 7 single wisp lights and 1 multi wisp light and about 7 sink hole on the hole map. I went for the search point and not the energy way and not the symbiotic way. Let me know if you want me to try and reproduce it or just tell you how it happened.

How interesting. On the 7D2D forum they encourage you to find old threads so you dont create new ones with the same subject line.

The problem existed in 2018, it seemingly still exists 4 years later, OP actually took the time to search for the subject, found this unanswered, and posting. Not sure why your turd response was warranted tbh.

It was ages ago, but I think that they continued to spawn, albeit at a very slow rate.

Nah, I believe you, this bug is nothing new or exceptional.
