Problem solving

Stuck? Check the failure point

Interaction does nothing

Confirm the correct tool is equipped, then check Charge and Durability separately. Move close enough for the prompt to lock on.

Objective will not progress

Install Hotfix 0.8.6 or later, then reload the area. The patch corrected blockers around 10G antenna ice, station-door ice, and the battery quest.

Old video does not match

Check whether it is 2025 Demo footage. Exact Demo routes and item positions are not current Early Access evidence.

Compare Demo and EA

Cannot reach the objective

Upgrade oxygen or cold protection, bring Purified Oxygen, and build the return plan before pushing deeper toward the marker.
