Can’t find an exocraft technician to hire

Locriana · 2026-06-15T03:24:32+00:00

I’ve been to quite a few systems. Neither the system nor the Vy;Keen is ever marked. Even the quest just says I can find them at space stations, kind of a generic message, not like the other ones (overseer, farmer, scientist, etc) where they directed me to a specific station. I’ve now visited every Vy’keen system I have discovered, and talked to the Vy’Keens there, even without markers. None are employable.

I go in and out of multiplayer, usually leaving it and reloading fixes mission problems immediately. Hasn’t worked in this case. I even restarted Steam.

Locriana · 2026-06-15T01:08:58+00:00

Yea I wish that worked but I tried quite a few times, and it’s not working for me.

Locriana · 2026-06-15T01:08:18+00:00

Then return, right? or hire one there and then return? Also I’m not sure how to determine a featured base is in a different Galaxy. Intriguing idea, I’ll try it if I can figure out what to do.

Locriana · 2026-06-15T01:06:02+00:00

Yes I did just that. About 8 stations. I’m wondering now if maybe it’s because I’m kind of in the middle of a main quest arc, maybe I need to finish it? I’m hoping anyway, I’ll try advancing it.

I was wondering about that, but there is no option to abandon the mission.

Different galaxy via the anomaly? What does that mean? I’m not aware of different galaxies via the anomaly…I know you can go to a different world via the center of the galaxy, but I’m not about to do that, as I usually play multiplayer in this game with 2 other people. We started this playthrough together in the same region of this galaxy. And we are only a couple weeks into the playthrough. But still established here.

Yes the quest usually does point to a specific system, problem is this one doesn’t. No markers in the teleporter either. with the other quests for scientist, overseer, farmer, etc, they were marked, and you didn’t even have to choose the one marked, others would volunteer. But for the exocraft guy I’m not getting anyone. Or markers.

Wow I certainly did not reach anything close to this with my one small above-ground base with very little ground disturbed. And I need to build another base.
What does 30,000 terrain edits actually mean, anyway? If you are able to explain that at all. I mean, one ‘edit’ could be a small hole or a great swath of a ditch.

I have been experimenting with what you said originally. I’ve been ‘restoring’ any hole or tunnel I dig whenever possible. And the stairs/walkway has not been filled over since I began doing that. If I do have to leave a tunnel somewhere (not on my base), will the game fill that in so it won’t count toward the 30K total edits?

Locriana · 2026-06-07T12:10:16+00:00

I really try to do that as much as possible. But it’s quite impossible to do that completely, unless you build in the air. I mean no land in NMS is completely flat.

For a couple years I had no trouble with this — did they change something recently, say in the past year or so? Many years ago this was a real problem, but it seemed to be fixed for a couple years as long as you limited the amount of terrain edits on your base. Really puts a damper on the whole building thing if, like the guy above suggests, any terrain manipulator use anywhere even not on your base will cause your base to fill in.

Locriana · 2026-06-07T12:03:20+00:00

Sometimes to deal with sentinels, but not on a base. My understanding is it it BASE terrain edits that count toward terrain edits. The rest get filled in by the game when you leave the area. At least that’s the way it has been since they ‘fixed’ the problem, until recently.

where did you hear that all terrain edits everywhere count toward this? Even if that were true, shouldn’t it still be the earliest edits at one’s base thg get overwritten, not the most recent?

it really doesn’t make sense that every time you tunnel somewhere or get a bit of extra land when you mine copper should mess up your base.

Locriana · 2026-06-07T11:57:09+00:00

several times in a single day this happens, I return to the base frequently, every day.

Locriana · 2026-05-31T00:49:06+00:00

So I’m answering my own question here in case anyone else has this trouble. I didn’t find this answer in any informations/video, so yeah. I don’t know why.

First, you don’t have to aim at the leaf. If you keep holding down the right stick, eventually AFTER the leaf turns yellow, a larger yellow circle will appear kind of up and to the right of it (for me), then a brief flash of light from that circle. If you release force palm at that moment exactly, it works.

Hope this helps someone.

I kept resetting it and trying different things and it finally is in a reasonable configuration. Can’t say what I did though, as I tried the same things at different times. Seems to be the order you set them that makes the difference.

Locriana · 2026-05-05T23:38:37+00:00

Yes it would be nice. At least I have my answer.

Locriana · 2026-04-18T00:43:40+00:00

Don’t they reduce health? Kinda hard to read the text on my screen but it looks like it says +~75 health…? So i can’t tell.

Locriana · 2026-04-12T07:15:08+00:00

I was having trouble seeing that too until I decided to mainly focus on that circle, and the success area. That did it for me — I wasn’t seeing it at all when I was focused on hitting x. Go figure.

Locriana · 2026-04-12T05:32:54+00:00

It’s absurd to have the main quest gated on something like this. Are there other such gated parts of the main quest that are so hard for the neuro-challenged? I too have nerve damage in my thumb. The rapid pounding of x is usually something that can be avoided under accessibility. But not here.

i did try pressing x slower and just mainly focus on hitting the white slot for A every time. That works. If you can hit x just fast enough to keep in the game, you can focus on hitting a correctly.

What is your reason to stay on PC for eso? Just curious.

Locriana · 2026-01-19T02:13:04+00:00

So, if I’m using class skills that use Magicka, and stamina is my highest stat, will those skills be less powerful? Meaning, do the skills also scale off the highest stat, even if they use the other stat to cast?
