Sunbeam

Did they take the Sunbeam out? I started a new game and been playing for hours, but I haven't heard a peep out Avery.

    Have you welded the Communications relay in the Lifepod?

    I'm having the same issue. I heard the first Sunbeam message on Day 5 but am now on day 25 and haven't heard the second message yet.

    I am also having issues with Sunbeam event. I received the first message around day 4-5, now at day 30 and nothing. Have moved along on other things, even have code to captain's room (not working, BTW). But no Sunbeam event.

    I've been seeing this for about a week now, across multiple builds in Experimental. There are other story elements missing, too, like getting the nav marker for the alien thermal plant. Those are the ones I've noticed.

    Yeah I did get the first message. Then I got the Alien message about victims seemed a little early for that.

    Yes. I haven't gotten the second Sunbeam message in Experimental. First one went fine. But ghost town now.

    It is still in game. It is just random when it comes. Basically, good luck

    I haven't yet experienced this (mostly cause I'm past this story point on my save), but I'm guessing its bugged or something, and they'll probably make the messages come faster

    I got all the way to curing myself without the Sunbeam event happening. Now the gun complex is disabled. The signal for the Thermal plant also does seem to be gone, which isn't a good thing, since if you don't already know it's there, you'd likely never find it.

    I suspect they may have some story elements turned off right now. Maybe something about testing functionality that some parts of the story progression would mess with.

    I have no idea, actually. I'm just speculating. c.c

    LOL.

    Well, given how many dozens of times I've seen it, I'm not really missing it all that much. :)

    Someone said in another thread that some messages and such were adjusted/cut because they were "too morbid" or something (They were hardly that, especially compared to the whole Carar thing and etc) so maybe they're rewriting the Sunbeam events - again - to avoid that whole morbid thing since seeing a ship get shot down into pieces would be horrifying or something.

    Well they could have had blood, guts splashing into the water after the ship was shot down that would've been morbid. Instead they literally obliterated the ship leaving on traces of anything that is okay.

    Not really, considering it's a small ship that took a direct hit at close range from a superweapon that brought down a giant massive starship many times its size and at a greater distance. It's amazing there's an explosion at all when the Sunbeam gets hit.

    Your PDA congratulating you for not dying in a starship crash was apparrently not okay though :/

    The story, along with the sunbeam, is completely bugged out. This is an issue that im reading about multiple people having. Everyone hears the initial sunbeam message, they hear a few lifepod radio messages, and then it just dies. My radio completely stopped working when I received the lifepod 7 message. I knew something was wrong when the ping wouldn't register on my map.

    I can not receive anymore radio messages. I have left a bug report in game, and Have read multiple threads on reddit, steam, and here about the issue. the devs NEED to see this as this has effectively broken thier game. Im really damned bummed out. I just bought this and put my whole weekend into the game, only to find out that I cant even progress the story any longer.
