Resolved Erchius Mining Facility not being able to be finished

When i go to the area where you first see the weird infected miners with weapons there is no way past I go down the hole to the mine and nothing happens down there there is a cave in to the right and i can't jump back up to the left what am i supposed to do i already got the quest that did nothing at all i was still trapped is it just glitching or is it unfinishable right now i was gonna show screen shots but it also keeps crashing when I'm in that area
Those as a note to make this character available for newest update i switched the files with a new characters files and i mean its ship file and deleted the universe file's contents to let it update could that have made a system glitch and mess everything up?
And another edit i realized i got the space suit in parts from my first few failed attempts am i supposed to get them all in one go?

 

Delete your universe and player folders then re-launch the game. I was able to clear the entire mission area without any issues (you will need climbing rope for going back one section, but they give you rope in the boxes so just be sure to loot as you go). Attempting to force the game to use existing save files will just cause problems in most cases.

The entire mission system as well as the mission quests are being worked on, so you should expect issues with mission quests.

 

I'm having a different issue with the facility, but still can't complete the quest. I was able to get to what looks like the final area, where I found a drilling machine with a ! over it, which gave me the quest "It's time for a hoe down". I see no route for further progression in the facility, and the mission remains uncompleted.

 

So there's two things i didn't think i had to have something to get back out didn't realize they'd do that by they i mean the devs and yah trying to use old files kinduh glitches it alot

 

I though it was unexpected as well since you would kinda have to know about climbing rope in the first place to know that you could make/use it. I suspect that as the missions are polished/tweaked this won't be an issue.

Going to leave this open for now since the quest doesn't seem to be complete-able right now.

 

I also confirm that interacting with mining machine at the end of mission gives the "hoe" wheat-collecting mission (which you normally get whenver you obtain a hoe first time), making mission uncompletable.
Also, because the dungeon remains protected, player cant get out using normal means when backtracking.

 

The quest doesn't complete, but you can get out (it's just not as easy as drilling your way up).

 

Not sure how, considering you cannot jump this part:

And there doesnt seem to be way around it, either.
I was assuming you'd be able to dig through rubble piles at the entrances to go out, when finished with quest. But, atleast now, its not possible.

 

Use Pulse Tech to jump up

 

I doubt you re suppoused to have any tech at that point in the game.
Which is what i meant by "normal means" - walking, running and jumpin.
You might as well use grappling hook, if you got it, but this is suppoused to be new player content. So Tier 1-2.
Also, by the looks of changes to the Techs you ll have to get tech cards, for first of which you ll need a diamond, but its not finished system so im not sure on that one.

 

You are supposed to use a rope there I think. You can find them in most of the crates throughout the base. The only issue so far is that the quest isn't complete-able as of yet.

 

Except rope bundles from crates dont work that way (as of yet), only the Climbing Rope, which you can craft out of plant, does. But still, what if player will not manage to find any, and/or didnt bring any with him/herself?
Again, obviously this dungeon is not finished, but i hope this bit will be addressed.
As for now, simpliest way to escape is to Save and Quit, as logining back on puts you on the ship.

 

I understand

 

There's still some issues with the quest in the latest Nightly build (there seems to be some conflict between two FTL repair quests right now, I didn't see how they're supposed to interact with each other or if one is replacing the other). However, the drill no longer gives you the wrong quest and since it appears to be the turn-in object, you can beam out once you've turned in the FTL repair quest (once that quest is fixed) so you don't necessarily need to be able to climb back out unless you really want to (you'll still need climbing rope or grappling hook to navigate that one too-high platform).

 

Well, I've been able to go to the deepest level (I think) of the mine and disable the drilling machine. But that doesn't give me the needed crystals.
I've read on the #3 Log that there's a main building, so maybe there's another facility on the moon, aside from the mine ? I can not use the Matter Manipulator / pickaxe nor place objets, so the shield generator is still online (I think).
Or am I just missing something ? I've located all 4 pieces of the spacesuit set, thought I'm not sure this is necessary to get the crystals.
By the way, the breathing backpack is not needed on the moon.

 

I made it all the way to the end with the drill thingy. When I interacted with it, it turned off... But nothing happened. No crystals, no new quests, not even a "Thanks for Playing!"

 

Same here, I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do after that. There isn't much context on what I'm actually doing down here.

 

The quest for the Erchius Mining Facility is still being worked on. Once you've interacted with the drill, you should be able to teleport out of the facility. You can use admin mode to force fix your FTL for now.

 

Drill deactivation doesn't allow teleportation (at least for me) and the ropes that are looted don't do anything at all. (I think it's supposed to be escape ropes that you find.) Still, since there is a way to escape, I can't complain too much.

 

I seem to recall from experimentation that you can't teleport from anywhere, just the area next to the drill.
