HELP! The story didn't progress! Is there a command for that?

[zacher]

I am very sad, because me and my friend have travelled to, and completed, the resonance archives! We went into the library and talked to the library resonator, but when I travelled to the treasure trader to get the next story location, he's still got the same chat options as if I just got the archives maps!

I checked the wiki on what I need to do to progress, and as far as I know I've done everything.

Is there some sort of command I can use to progress the story, or do I need to go back to the archives?

Welcome to the forums!  Both of ya!!

I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you.   I'm surprised our more technical know-it-alls haven't spoken up here yet.

Welcome to the forums! Not exactly a technical know-it-all myself, but my first guess would be that you talked to a different treasure hunter than the one you got the Archive quest from. To my knowledge, you need to ask the same trader in order to get the dialogue about the places mentioned in the Archive.

The only other thing I can think to check is the modlist, if one is using mods. It's possible a mod could be interfering somehow. I would start a new world without mods(I would do this anyway even if not using mods) and use creative mode to speedrun the first story chapter. If you're still not getting the option to ask the trader about the locations(the option should start with "So I visited that ruin you mentioned..."), then it sounds like you've encountered a bug, in which case you should visit the github bug tracker and report it. You might also consider reinstalling the game client, as this often fixes issues, but make sure you back up any important worlds and mods before going this route.

Also, just to make sure all the bases are covered...when you talk to the treasure hunter after completing the Archives, you do need to actually describe your adventure when he asks what you found there, in order to progress the story. If you refuse to tell him, he'll shrug and leave you to your own devices, and you won't be able to progress the story until you open up about your adventures.

The elucidatory vessel only provides the elk discount; you don't actually need it in order to ask the trader about the locations.
