Sad to say, it's not working properly. Once I grabbed all the provided equipment/deployables, it did not update the mission. So I have no idea what I need to farm to complete the mission. It didn't even check off that objective of collecting the items from the crate. So I'm just dead in the water with this mission... wasting time. As for everything else, I think it's working okay so far (the water pump, pipes, composter, etc.).

Edit: I tried loading my second character to see if it would happen again. Turns out it worked the second time. The only difference was that I only grabbed one wooden crop plot the first time, then grabbed the rest of the items later because my inventory was already full of stuff. So it seems that you have to grab all items at once for the objective to clear. Pretty silly bug. Frustrating that I already built a large house and even went mining, all for nothing.

Started mission and built up base near cave entrance thinking the water pump goes in cave and can do everything near cave. NOPE. You must put the equipment near the cargo pod, even though it doesn’t list that as a requirement of the mission nor does it have a target circle on the map. please fix the description or add a circle on map.

equipment doesn't complete the waypoint in the mission, assumed because two separate players took items out instead of one player taking everything. When previously attempted, one person taking all checked the waypoint and gave the next objective.

I've got this exact problem as well. This is a "game-breaking" bug. Can't progress the mission at all! I'm going to have to abandon the mission until bug is fixed.

@Kelsey, I am playing Solo and have this same issue. So (At least for me) it isn't caused by multiple players taking items from the Supply Crate.

@Developers - Is it possible this bug is from clicking the "Take All" button within the Supply Crate? I have noticed a similar issue on another mission. The mission to unlock large Exotic veins won't mark as Complete unless you Drag exotics into the Drop Pod inventory. If you use CTRL-Click on the exotics, the mission fails to mark as Completed. It took me 3 attempts, doing that entire mission to figure out that work-around to the bug. So... Fix your game please! lol :-) And thank you!

I only picked up a few items and then later picked up the rest of the gear in the box. It didn't progress thereafter. I tried to play thru the whole scenario...and after growing the veggies, it still did not progress. Seems like you would have to take it all the equipment rather than a few at a time from the box?

First mission I had to abandon/failed, thought it was the week 89 update, tried twice and had to abandon both times. I will try once more, closer to the pod, based on this thread.
