Question: How to upgrade Stardock facilities?

[NellDrakeBane]

I think I finished the final quest. But All the Stardock features I unlocked so far are these; Clinic, Player room, Wandering ship crews.
From what I can see in the screenshots of this Creation, I can unlock Crowd as well.
Also, when I check this Creation in CK, there is weapon shop and armor shop as well.
How do I unlock these features?

To unlock further Stardock upgrades, you need to interact with the services. For example unlocking Cyberamps, using Gren's and Harper's services, etc.

Thank you for the reply, but how far can the facilities of Stardock expand?
I mean, how to unlock Weapon shop, Armor shop?

If it helps, I handed in a huge bunch of Intel at once, went away to do some stuff, then came back and suddenly the whole place was populated with a thousand NPCs roaming about lol.

 

[NellDrakeBane]

Thanks for the info. That will solve my problem. I will try later.

Hi, Kusumura. I have populated the Stardock with crowd NPCs, but I still have a question.
Did you unlock weapon shop or armor shop in the station?
When I see the interior of Stardock in Creation Kit, there are these shops.

Yeah I have finished the main quest, can't turn no more intel into harper, I have a player apartment to customize, I have the clinic unlocked, I have wandering crew, but I don't have everything unlocked it seems like more lights n a pool table, when I dock it's still cluttered, I have two locked doors that still require keys, assuming thats the weapon or amarory shop.. ALL I have to do that's left is unlock like 2 or 3 more sky drop.. and cyperclamps.. do I continue to just find more cores at watchtower listening posts? Or is my game bugged and stardock not gonna upgrade fully? Great mod by the way loved it.

The following services contribute to Stardock upgrades:

- Turning in Intel to Harper
- Using the "find me an array" dialogue option with Harper
- Unlocking a new Skydrop
- Expanding fleet size
- Unlocking a new Cyberamp

Computer cores can continue to be found at listening posts, even after all major arrays are destroyed.

 

[NellDrakeBane]

Thank your the info for the way to unlock the facilities.
But, I wish we could find a little bit more Listening Posts even after the main quest, although fewer outposts are realistic and story-wise.
If we could make Intels and Cores after the main quest like we can make WT Components during the story.

Anyway, I really appreciate the info of unlocking ways.

Is there an indicator letting us know when all possible Stardock updates have been done?

And is the locked door on the upper right side that requires a key related to McClarence?

 

[twolargepepperoni]

The final upgrade is the hotel- to the right of the elevator that leads to the player apartment is a locked door, which will unlock and reveal the hotel when enough upgrade xp is earned.

Yes - behind the locked door is a store available to players who have McClarence enabled.

Thanks, looks like I'm not up to the hotel yet.

For Mcclarence, is it based on completing a certain level in McClarence before the Stardock store opens? I'm playing McClarence also but have not reached the level of weapons yet (last achieved so far is being able to duplicate items).

You need to complete the quest after that weapon unlock one, as well as earning enough Stardock Upgrade XP.

Thanks for confirming.

The hotel has shown up now, even rented a room to see what was behind the locked door. . Watching the progress of the Stardock upgrades turned out to be a game mechanic that I ended up enjoying way more than I would have expected.

For McClarence, I'm grinding my way through. It's been giving me motivation to go back looking for random POIs to find gear.

If you had all your arrays prematurely destroyed like I did, can you still unlock the hotel just on unlocking Skydrops, Cyberamps and maxing out the fleet size? I only turned in small amount of intel before all the listening posts were magically destroyed.

100% - when you visit Stardock often (to drop off those pesky contraband items) it is really cool to see the station evolve and hearing Harper's responses, even though she's not a big talker really make enjoyable content for me.

You should be able to, they stll require computer cores but these can be found at listening posts even after the arrays are destroyed.

Are you on PC or xbox? We have had similar reports about the arrays being destroyed but have yet to reproduce this ourselves on a minimal load order. Hoping that someone has a PC save we can open and dig into to see why this is even happening for some folks.

I'm on PC. I ended up using xedit to get the ID for the cores and generated about 200 of them. I unlocked all Cyberamps and their upgrades, all Skydrops and maxed out the fleet. The hotel is open and the Stardock is considerably cleaned up. The only thing I haven't unlocked is the McClarence store. I haven't done much with that storyline and probably will not. I have been finding listening posts since all the arrays disappeared prematurely. However, if you no longer have intel and all you have is cores to use, the amount of time it would take to constantly locate, fight and loot these outposts and harvest the amount of cores it takes to unlock everything at the Stardock, would be prohibitive. It would literally be a full time job. I have submitted two reports about the issue. I have submitted two saved games, but you replied that they are too modded to be of use. At least I have achieved my goal of cleaning up the Stardock.

Yeah, unfortunately on very modded playthroughs it is not possible to open the saves and investigate potential issues. However we are keen to solve this issue as soon as possible - we just have never reproduced it in a test environment. Once we receive a save we can open, dig into, and identify the cause, we will aim to get it patched in immediately.

IS the Astra spacesuit the final McClarence Stardock mission, or is there something after this?
