[Bug] Dry Run: Expedition

5 votes

First of all, there are clearly a lot of people having issues here. I reviewed all the other suggestions, and nothing seems to exactly fit the issue I have.

Note: I had issues getting through the first wall, and in particular when nothing was happening I encountered a bug where when I removed the drill and replaced it, the game crash. I noted this extensively on the Steam forums here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1149460/discuss

Somehow the game resolved itself after a crash, and the first wall was gone, and the drill back in my inventory. So I pushed onto the second wall, and nothing's happening.

First, note that the drill is running and the solar power is providing it with power. However, after 5+ in-game days, it's stuck at 3% complete. It's not getting through the second wall.

I've tried moving the solar panel, removing and replacing the drill, and nothing happens. I think the mission is borked. And I only have two days to complete the mission. I suspect I'll have to abort.

I found it to do with the light and solar pannels and has a window then they work best. So there times that not enough electricitity to run the maschine so it does work the mission

I had issues with this mission as well when I was playing with my brother, what the solution was for us, was to reconnect the electricity tool from the solar panel towards the drill, and not let it go through any wall, also the sun starts to hit the Solar Panel from around 10 am - 11 am.

it looked like the electricity tool wasn't correctly connected at 1 or multiple points after the first wall was destroyed.

also I found it very annoying and confusing that the connection to the drill wasn't to the drill itself, but to the wall where it was drilling through.

Similar experience: drill is on the wall and powered, but the quest indicator that should light up when the drill is in place is not activated.
Tried
1. Removing and replacing the drill
2. Re-wiring the drill.
I've been drilling into the first wall for 2 in-game days.

Same issue here with the first wall. Drill itself is running but nothing is doing anything to progress the game or break through the wall.
