Problem with the transporter quest.

Post by -splosives- »

I had to build a station in the middle of glacia.
But I had already built one.
Now I need to destroy my own station.
That's kinda disappointing. I guess I'll just abandon the quest?
Is there a way to skip this part of the quest? Like alter the game files?

You can always modify a quest by altering the game files. Open with Notepad. At the bottom of each stage is a line which tells you where to go next if you "win" by completing the current stage.

For example:
QuestNextW=2
Just change the number to whatever stage you want to go to (at the bottom of your current stage) so as to skip the stage you can't complete. Then save the file.

So I'm at step 8 and I want to go to step 9, in this quest, what do I alter then? do I change the QuestNextW= from step 7 to 9?

That should not be necessary. Did you try docking at the station already there? If so and the quest didn't advance, is the station you built at the same location? If not, then ... well, you're in a bad place to do this but ... in Stage 8, change QuestLoctn=2 to QuestLoctn=1 and head to:

QuestLocSX=2
QuestLocSY=0
QuestLocSZ=3
QuestLocXC=0
QuestLocYC=0
QuestLocZC=0

It will be like docking at the expected station ... except there won't be a station there. Just the docking point.
