Uncompleteable Quest - 'Point of no return null'

I had a similar issue requesting a biofuel plant in a city without algae.
I had to use a satellite (weather controller) to make one spawn.
Perhaps the same thing can be done with firaxite and Orbital Fabricator, as I have the same issue with my quests.

Try building a Biofuel plant in your non coastal capital for a quest, got a work around for that?
Quests are very bugged as far as I can see. Basic stuff that should have been picked up before release.

Adding to the lore here of completely borked quests, had same issue but different stage - built neurolab first stage ok.
Was then asked to "launch 1 of any orbital unit" - bugged here. No matter what I did or launched - solar collector or miasma repulser, wouldn't update the quest.
Obviously - tried the usual logical assumptions
1. launched sat from the city named in quest - no update
2. launched sat from city named in quest, directly over my own lands - no update
3. launched sat right exactly on the city hex, right overhead, of the named city and launched by that city - no update
4. for laughs, launched sats from various other cities over the named city, and no update.
Adding to the frustration, Familiar Exotics also bugged in same game, asking for petrochem plant build in capital that had no access to petroleum.
*maybe the game bug is where it thinks you could have settled. If I had settled my cap 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.
Then of course, 3 is the charm or it comes in threes? Steel Synapse bugged too. but at least I could work around it. It asked for 3 CEL cradle buildings, but didn't update on 3rd. Don't update on 4th. So I destroyed existing CELs and built again and this time it counted.
But damage was done. This was first and so far only game lost to the AI, I gave up because lead AI got 3 affinity ahead of me while I was counting on this quests to match him, and his prime CNDRs steamrolled over my regular CNDRs.
Buggy quests are frustrating but losing to the AI because multiple quests fail to advance your affinity level, where game balance is literally one affinity behind could mean getting rolled is beyond frustrating.
