Hi @girlkisser, fixed the bug with the quest being issued several times. Removed the "red alert" card in favor of a neutral grey one. Still a lot of stuff to figure out for me though as stated above in the "To Do" section

Thanks for the feedback. Will adjust this once I find the time!

Hello, I have a bug report. I have confirmed this happens with only this mod plus the prerequisites Harmony and Vanilla Expanded Framework. On loading a save file, the quest re-appears instantly. This is 100% consistent and does not create a log. Trying to enter the quest site also throws up this gigantic error log: https://pastes.io/rimworld-nullreferenceexception-stack-trace-in-map-regeneration

Additionally, on top of the quest reappearing instantly each time the file is loaded, it also appears instantly when a new colony is started. To reiterate, literally no mods besides prerequisites are loaded.

As a design note, if this is intentional, the quest appearing with the blaring red letter alarm is really jarring and kind of the opposite of what I'd expect from "you can unlock microelectronics".

whatever works for you, I'll subscribe to your workshop profile to get updates on this! I'd keep the vehicles thing optional, because not everyone play with them and build their gameplay around them. can't say anything about making this quest better, because I haven't played with it. obviously, there will always be a place to grow, but it may start to consume to much time. so, if you ask me, I'd love to see more mods for key technologies to actually motivate a player to go and explore things. Maybe some of such quest could rely on this?

like, locking some tech on a location that can only be found by accident. pretty fallout 1/2 vibes.

Also, I adore this mod:

maybe it could be integrated somehow. actually, on the page 18th in the comments I suggested the idea of placing techs in the outside world.

Yeah I didnt get custom quest framework to work unfortunately. So right now I was thinking:
- Make this mission better (more props on the map etc.)
- Make a mission where you can capture a good Vehicle like a chopper
- Gate another key technology like Fabrication or Advanced Fabrication behind studying a chip. Or it could be as simple as removing advanced components from all traiders so you can only get them via quest

What do you think?

thanks, I always wanted such kind of mods! wish this would be expanded into series of mods to get technologies. also, consider two things:

take a look at yayo's lost technology that could work like a charm for this concept if updated, here it is: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3573473727

take a look at «Custom Quest Framework», maybe it can help you creating more complex quests:
