Excavation Site contract: construction target inside Safe Zone, cannot build

Laurent Brillard shared this bug 4 hours ago

Game version: V2.4.0.86 release alpha

Mode: Single player, survival, no mods

Sector: Verdure

Contract: "Engineering - Excavation Site"


Still reproduces after updating to the latest build (including the

August 20 hotfix).


The contract requires building infrastructure at a marked construction

target (the GPS marker displays the raw key "GPSConstructionTarget"):

- Battery 1.5m: 0/2

- Gearforge: 0/4

- Ore Detector 1m: 0/1

- Smelter 2.5m: 0/1

- PCU between 600-1000


The construction target is located INSIDE the safe zone of the nearby

station. Any attempt to place a block at the target returns:

"Safe Zone Protection - Building in safe zone is not allowed."


The contract is therefore impossible to complete. There is no earlier

objective to clear first - the objective list contains only the block

counters shown in the attached screenshot.


Reproduced consistently. Reloading the save does not help.


Note: in the same playthrough, contract "Station Upgrade - Radio Beacon"

also could not be completed - the ownership transfer step never

validated, and its waypoint displayed the raw key "GPSActiveContract".


Attachments: error message screenshot, objective panel screenshot.
