port in the storm - stuck scanning the planet(Ver. 1.0.3)

Hi, Im new here,

I've just bought Watchtower yesterday and my experience has been a bit bumpy so far. I haven't read anything about this mod in adavance and jumped in blindly. What I did is starting a NG+ right after installing the mod. First thing I found after gathering some equipmet was a Watchtower Listening Post that was being attacked by five terrormorphs. Tried to help fight them off, just to be attacked by these watchtower guys and a big a** mech. After using some terminal I was tasked to destroy some satellite. After that I was supposed to check in with some guy at some planet. And got stuck the first time: the quest marker pointet to nothing. I hindsight I don't think these quests were supposed to be triggered in the first place. Maybe the listening posts weren't suppost to spawn a this time either? I don't know. Eventually I was hailed by some Watchtower Ships and the Questline actually started.

After I met Torin outside his station I jumped to Eridani III. Then after some chat I was told to scan the Planet. I did that and then ... nothing. I cannot scan the planet again, can I? Did I do something wrong? I tried the normal scanner(F on PC), still nothing is happenening. Searched online for futher information and found a (closed) thread about a similar issue on this forum. Tried setting the gamestage to 430. It advanced to 460 (I used the getstage command to find that out) and nothing else happened. As far as I can tell I was supposed to be attacked by some drones. That isn't happening. Torin keeps telling me to scan the planet when I hail his ship. But how?

One thing I noticed is the area around Eridani III ist cluttered with scrap that is weirdly spinning around way off their center of mass. Is this suppoed to be there? Looks a bit like the game tried to spawn the same scrap field twice and bugged out the physics. Has this anything to do with the quest being stuck?

What can I do apart from starting all over again? I have tried some things already, like jumping to other systems and back, waiting/sleeping in other systems, landing on Eridani III and scanning everything. Visited and cleared the two POI on Eridani III that apparently are not ralated to the quest. Is it some incompability with one of my other mods? Some load order shenanigans? Did doing stuff out of order break something? dealing with mods can be annoying ...

Im on PC. 5th NG+ I think

Hi there, thank you for the report. The listening posts spawning early does sound like a bug - we have fixed this now and it should be resolved in our next update patch. This shouldn't break any quests however.

Could you please attach a save where you are stuck with the planet scanning? In the meantime, could you try rolling back to a save from before you jumped to Eridani and trying again to see if the problem persists for you?
 
Will you look at that! My last quicksave was just before i went to Torins station. I usually rely on autosaves so i didnt expect to have any save from after last NG o.O Anyways, I went from there an this time it worked. I tried to attach a bugged savefile, but your bulletin board apparantly doesn't like files that big. Gimme a sec to upload it somewhere else. Haven't done this in a while ...

I hope it's the correct one. The filenames aren't exactly helpful.
