Home Sweet Home - Stuck!

[Kuzsi87 [HUN]]

I have a big problem. I saw i'm not the only one with this... I can't finish home sweet home quest. Every building, the silo, fences are repaired, but i can't finish the house... I rebuilt it totally, tjhe attic, the basement, drain pipes, everything... Nothing is red... Any tips? :(

Check out the forum; "A Quick Guide for New Players", on page two there is some helpfull tips. https://steamcommunity.com/app/678900/discussions/0/1620600279658021873/?ctp=2#c1620600279662809299

Once the last building is completed you need to go to the Home Sweet Home marker, which is located in the center of the farmyard, near the gazebo. Often though, you will have to walk away from the buildings (say around back one of the buildings), then return to the gazebo area to 'trigger' the Home Sweet Home quest.

Note: the forum; "A Quick Guide for New Players.."
http://steamcommunity.com/app/678900/discussions/0/1620600279658021873/, is often ignored by many players due to it's being named "...for New Players". But this forum has a load of usefull tips & tricks that can be handy for all players.

Walk towards the barn, stop between the gazebo and garage, turn around and look up toward the roof of the house(missing bricks). Did you fix that bit?

The COMPLETE house is repaired, later rebuilt with new materials. Everything is new! Even the atticks floor is glazed, the chimney rebuilt, the basements removed door is glazed... so i absolutely stucked. F.ckin frustrating. I lost the 'faith' in the game...

Well to begin with, you do not need to renovate the house, just repair whats broken in order to gain "Home Sweet Home".

Take a moment, then start a new save and go through the motions of repairing the farm because you have obviously missed something then once you find it, you go back to your initial save and rectify the issue. A few screenshots would help troubleshoot the problem.

One other thing to look at is that you can sometimes finish a section, but not totaly finish. So then when you look at the item, it looks like it is complete. You can check the parts by running the tools over the sections, & see if you get any "dots" that flash up. This is a rather rare possiblity, & oftentimes not an issue, since anytime you start working on an adjacient simular section, it will reset that partial section to its default. But I have seen the odd rare case where it can happen.

The only other thing that I can possilby think, is that one of the interior walls was not repaired, but that is a slim chance since you stated that you upgraded everything. So I would then suggest you go around the perimeter of the building & check the base with the RMB, & see if you have a spot that was missed. This base does not get upgraded, so could have missed a spot.

Have you found the problem with your house? If none of the above comments seems to be the problem, then you could upload your save files (all seven - same save number), so that one of us could try & find the problem.

I started a new game. Everything was OK this time... The quest is done after 40 minutes... After all I still dont know what was the problem first time, because I do everything in the same way...
This is the dark side of playing early acces games :)

[Merck]

Yes indeed. There are so many different things that it could be, & don't forget that Steam &/or OS problems could be added to the mix.

Have your checked out the information in the forum; "A Guide for new players", listed above for repairing the house? Also, if you could upload a copy of your save files, then others could check out your house & see if can find missing items.

The best way to prevent "Home sweet Home Stuck" is Do Not Renovate The House. Just Fix It to the state that is required by the quest then go plow some fields and meet other npc so you can get the equipment you need for farming.

All you need to do is plug up the holes and cracks. You don't even need to fix the fence or gates but you do need to fix the fence around the chicken coop.

Use the steel by the greenhouse to replace the greenhouse door only then use your only your repair tools and don't buy any materials.

Once you are happy with what you've done, leave the area, meet other npc, go to church etc and wait for Home Sweet Home Completed message before considering doing anything more to the house.

I do know that the house can indeed be upgraded from scratch to complete it. I have done it multiple times, & just recently after the latest update. But, like Finch states, it may be much easier to just repair the house, which will reduce the amount of work required.

I would still be interested in seeing your save files, since I believe there is a item that is not being completed.

last time I did this, I ran around with build vision to find a single spot on the upstairs floor that I hadn't done right over in a corner that wasn't easily visible from the doorway because of furniture.

Thanks in advance.

Ok I found these missed sections:

1. Outside base section;

2. Kitchen interior wall section;
   https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1583531117
   
3. Basement door;
   https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1583542428
   
4. Main bedroom door;
   https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1583542561
   
5. Upper floor deck door;
   https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1583542698

I tried the two files supplied by you by first using one of my current game saves to replace the missing save files not supplied. That game only showed the outside base section, & the Kitchen interior wall section as red, when pressing RMB (Engineer's Sight). Note: this save already had the house completed (per the tutorial), so even though I fixed those two sections, it didn't change the game.

I next tried your two files with a completely new game, by again replacing your files in place of the originals. This time the doors were added to the items showing red. But I was still able to complete the house - even though I did not complete the upper bedroom deck door.

There may have been some differences from what you have seen since I had to "re-use" my own files for the ones you did not forward. But otherwise all the other buildings did show completed.

This is true. I have also done it this way but there is a bug which prevents the Home Sweet Home complete message from appearing which is why I err on the side of caution and suggest to only fix what needs fixing then leave the area on which hopefully upon your return, you recieve the message.
