New Home Plot, where is the frickin astronaut??

Post by wolfee » Thu, 9. Jul 15, 15:54

I just went through all the ponderous steps to get through this plot and I'm told to pick up a Gero "Jigsaw" Boss but there's no astronaut. Not on sector map either. I flew over to #efee and back to #café and still nothing. What am I missing here and please don't tell me to reload, I haven't saved since doing all the code/soduku/password crap. Any help appreciated. :evil:

Did you successfully complete all three steps to the code breaking?

Yes, the mission status is to pick up the astronaut, the #café is blue now, not red. I don't see an astronaut anywhere and not on sector map.

There are some mods, well, at least one, that will allow you to restart/reset plots. You could try one of those along with resetting whatever money was spent on the plot itself if desired.

Well I restored to before all the hacking started and did exactly the same thing and this time there was an astronaut...exhausting. Is the new zone they want to sell worth the money? Is it a random spawn of asteroids?

One item the post at the link above does not take into account is asteroid size.

I usually try build mines on asteroids with a minimum size of 25. Using that as a basis:

Ceos Wellspring - Silicon 4 rocks 25,25,32,39 = 121, Ore 5 rocks 25,34,38,38,39 = 174
Twisted Skys - Silicon 8 rocks 25,25,26,28,30,34,36,43 = 247, Ore 2 rocks 27,43 = 70
Spires of Elusion - Silicon 4 rocks 25,34,38,39 = 136, Ore 4 rocks 25,28,33,40 = 126
Guiding Star - Silicon 5 rocks 25,34,35,36,40 = 170, Ore 3 rocks 26,27,30 = 83
Cathedral of Xaar - Silicon 6 rocks 25,27,27,33,35,44 = 181, Ore 6 rocks 26,26,33,36,37,40 = 198
