Supplying the Farmers

A multi-step supply quest for the Farmers, tracked separately from the main story and builder assignments.

Quest stuck / waypoint missing / objective not updating

Match the symptom to the unfinished trigger

A Scrap Mechanic quest can wait on a build state, item handoff, dialogue, console, location trigger, boss defeat, or exit route. The active Logbook wording identifies which one is still missing.

What the player seesExact state to checkRecovery route
Cannot find the Water Bucket or make the ship fires countGetting Started →

Enter the crashed ship to activate the objective, then follow the path opposite its entrance to the pond and fill the marked Water Bucket.

Throw one filled bucket at each of the three marked interior fires, returning to the pond to refill between throws. Ignore unmarked exterior flames.

Open the Water Bucket route →
The first Master Battery does not power the Mechanic StationGetting Started / The Mechanic Station →

The ruin battery near the Crash Site belongs in the crashed ship. The Mechanic Station objective marks a separate battery in the station bunk-room area.

Install the first battery in the ship, finish the console and Logbook states, then follow the next quest marker to the station's own battery.

Compare both Master Batteries →
Watchtower build will not registerHome Is Where Your Couch Is / Built to Last →

Read the current material list and confirm every requested build state has completed before speaking to Hubert.

Stay near the build until the Logbook changes, then use Hubert as the final trigger. Do not substitute an older tower design.

Growlab Key or waypoint seems missingA Farmer's Side Hustle →

Speak to Hubert, take the Growlab Key, and actively track the yellow objective in the Logbook.

Return to Hubert if the key handoff never completed. Inside the Growlab, finish the route through the trash-chute exit rather than backtracking at the last room.

The Tomato delivery seems to require machines you do not ownPalate Cleanser →

Track Palate Cleanser, use the nearby Packing Station, and deposit the requested Tomatoes into the station rather than trying to craft a separate packing line.

Let the Packing Station produce the packed crate, load that crate onto your vehicle, and deposit it at the Farmers' Hideout Trader. A player-built Large Chest or Vacuum Pump is not listed as one of this quest's three objectives.

Compare later automation recipes →
Warehouse objective remains on enter or investigateThe Warehouse →

Confirm the Warehouse Key handoff, entrance interaction, interior investigation states, roof route, and Trashbot objective in order.

Re-enter through the intended route and let each Logbook state update before advancing. Opening the building early does not complete skipped objective states.

Lost the route after the Trashbot fightThe Warehouse / Lost and Found →

Confirm the Trashbot defeat and the next yellow quest title before leaving the Warehouse area.

Track the new objective in the Logbook and follow its marker rather than returning to an older roof waypoint.

Open Trashbot guide →
A completed checkpoint never opens the next questAny main-story transition →

Wait for dialogue, reward, and Logbook updates; verify the game is on the current public branch.

Patch 1.0.2 fixed cases where quests did not progress. Update first, preserve the affected save, then repeat only the final interaction on a copy.

Check current patch notes →
Raid warning remains active and crops cannot be harvestedFarm raid state →

Confirm the public branch has Patch 1.0.3 or later before rebuilding the farm or changing the save.

Patch 1.0.3 fixed a state where raids stopped triggering and harvesting was blocked. Update, keep the affected save and session log, then retest the same plot without mods before making structural changes.

Read Patch 1.0.3 fixes →
A co-op client completes the action but the host does not advanceShared-world objective →

Compare the host's active Logbook state with the client's state before repeating a long area.

Have the host perform the final dialogue, delivery, console, or location interaction. If it still fails, keep the save and session log before removing mods.
