The servo-trader's daughter

[Holger]

This is my second playthrough.
In the first playthrough the servo-trader's daughter told me about an ancient library and gave me a key. I could locate the library and salvage a huge book of knowledge from it.
In the second playthough she didn't. I have been on the market planet twice, but the cutscene with the key just never appered. I do not know what I did differently this time.
Is it still possible to find the library and the book in this playthrough?

It’s always possible to find the library; there are various routes to doing that. If nothing else; fly around and pick up ruins! (There are better threads tho.)

How do you get her to do that? I've only been to Renaki once in each playthrough and she gave me squat. I don't even know how to get her to Iox, and it seems I can't go back to Renaki.

I'm completely in the dark about what influences her behavior. I was happy when I found out that I could travel to Renaki a third time (in order to give the injured worker and his partner a new home), and was super-happy when the cutscene with the daughter triggered - but then I must have said something wrong and she ended the dialogue without telling me about the library ...

That's the issue I'm finding with this game. You only ever get one chance to get it right, and if you don't you're forever locked out of that branch.

The good news is that the key is completely useless. The door it unlocks is stuck fast anyway, and there's a big hole in the side to get in It only serves to confirm that was the correct place for it.

[Holger]

Yes, the key itself is useless. However you can later return to the daughter to tell her that you found the library. I suspect it might have something do to with the "Enrollment" achievement - although I'm not sure.
I messed the thing up because I returned too early to her when I had not yet found the library.

In the second playthrough she didn't even tell me about it nor did she give me the key.

How do you get the huge book?

[cswiger]

@Therlun, you need to try to take or read the huge book.

It will tell you that it is chained down and you can't remove it, but when the upper floor collapses, the chain holding the book to the stand will break and Six will take the book with it when it hoppers Aliya back to the ship....

[Therlun]

The floor didn't collapse for me sadly. I walked around on it for as long as I could after Six said something about the floor being weak but apparently it wasn't long enough.... :/
*sigh* and of course I can never return to the library.

I believe you need to walk up the stairs which you can clearly see are going absolutely nowhere. The floor collapsed for me on my way back.

I got the key, but it was my first playthrough and I lost my save in the chaos. The only things I remember that were moon and her specific were - I took the guy with the broken arm and the woman there... I explored everything first (shoes! bread! Vases!), without visiting the Servo merchant... I didn't buy a gecko... then I spoke to her and tried to be as nice as I could.

Then I save the Servo merchant, and the only important thing I remember was that I told 6 to trust me.

Hope this helps.

I've gotten the key from her in two successive playthroughs:
- Doesn't seem to matter if you've looked around the market or not
- Gecko doesn't seem to matter one way or the other
- Both times I talked to the merchant first, pumped him for info about the moon but refused to make a deal
- When talking to the daughter, I was respectful to her and did not insult her father. I told her about the outside world and told her Iox has libraries but did not press her to leave
