Bugged quests list

[Jacozilla]

Maybe this will get sticky if kept clean - not so much griping about the fail but a resource of quests known to fail. Please add quests you have had problems with, but only if you experienced it more than once.

The more than once rule ought to cut down on conflicting reports because I feel sometimes it's not the quest itself that may be bugged, but the game state. e.g. the quest won't bug all the time unless X happens as well.

Quests I've had issues with multiple times now:
(noted as blocker - no way around, or hangs - update count won't increment but can be worked around by deleting/rebuilding)

Quest - Point of No Return (Blocker)

1. First stage - asks you to build a neurolab in named city

Possible Issue: had no problems with first stage but read of others unable to progress because can not build neurolab in named city due to no workable resource nearby. This falls I think in the group of quests where you need building X requiring resource Y, but can't build it because no resource Y in the named city for quest

Block issue: Stage 2 - asked to "launch 1 of any orbital unit"

Bug: - No matter what I launched - solar collector or miasma repulser, wouldn't update the quest.

Have now had two games where this happened, so bug at least for me was reproduced. Have not yet had a game where quest was offered and i was able to do it, but haven't played more than dozen games so far.

**UPDATE: Tried continuing to play the save I didn't delete of this bugged quest game. Managed to stem tide of loss to AI and launched a weather controller sat. That counted and it updated the quest.
Mousing over solar and miasma - the wording specifically says "Orbital unit" so it should count for this quest. But for me it didn't no matter how many tries. But apparently it counted the weather controller as an orbital unit, go figure.

Quest - Familiar Exotics (Blocker)

First stage - asks for petrochemical plant built in named city

Block Issue: City had no access to petroleum.

bug opinion - for sure this quest is in the class of quests where building X requires resource Y. Not sure but maybe the game bug is where it thinks you could have settled. If I had settled my city 1 hex over instead of center of landing grid, then I would have been able to reach and work a petroleum resource. Either that is the way bug works - like quest was rolled when you rolled game and it thought you could get the resource, but you settled 1 tile over, I don't know.

@Jacozilla any quest that asks for a specific resource is potentially bugged, I guess; it sure looks like a pattern. I had the one that asked me for a Biofuel Plant (the building needs improved Algae) in my capital when it was landlocked, with no access to water in its 3-tile radius.

I guess the biggest bug of all, its Cultural Burden
The quest revolvs around you having less than 8 sponsors since it tells the story of why that one couldn't make to the planet, yet you keep receiving that quest on maps of size standard and huge.
That one is really impossible to be completed

Familiar Exotics is bugged, likely to not complete even if you do build the requisite building.

Cultural burden bugged in that will trigger when it can't be completed (all factions present) and will trigger but be uncompletable because it will not link properly to a crashed satellite, not progressing properly once expedition is complete (but will still remember satellite was there, as will claim you will fail the quest if you attempt to build an improvement on the tile).
