Frustrating Missions - What Habitat?

Is it by design that a pickup mission to go to Hab and open a locker does not direct you where to go? The base I went to had 2 if not more Habs. I spent half an hour wondering why I didn't have security clearance to enter the Hab only to realise there was another one on the other side of the settlement.

Not to mention the bug where the PIN number for the locker wasn't displaying. Relogging constantly to try and get the PIN to show. And then when I did I was suddenly marked as Anonymous and was being fired at!!

Deeply frustrating for my first mission in the game. Was this play tested AT ALL?
 
Was it an active settlement and if so, you did use one of the terminals to get all the information you needed, right? The mission point is marked there (if you have clearance - if you don't then you can see what clearance you need). You can even select it so it gets added to your compass. And the PIN is shown there too.

You can access the terminals in the settlement to help you mark and locate the building / item / person you are looking for if it isn't marked already.

If you have the security clearance, you can mark the locked locker / crate from a terminal and the PIN will show up when you approach it - but NOT when you are entering the code. Strangely.

Can't be sure about the guards firing at you - did a guard flag you for a scan and you didn't notice?

Actually... yes. We had a paid Alpha that ended two weeks ago.
 
What about bases where there's stuff to be collected in a crate outside, so there isn't any need to risk cloning an ID to get access to a terminal in a building? Are there external terminals/kiosks lying around.

I saw no terminals other than the one that was in the building I was trying to reach which was only helpful in directing me to the locker in said building. I saw terminals on my mini-map but all were inside secure buildings.

yes, but any terminak works, you just select the outside area, select the container you want, it gives you the pin and leads you there. It's incredibly simple

Ah ok so that's fair enough if that's the case. Can you remember what location it was or what type it was at least? I'm working my way through them all to get some form of guides going and stuff like this needs to be captured I think.

I would love to know where these mysterious terminals are because every terminal that was on my minimap was locked inside a secure building.

I'll try and find out for you when I next get into the game.

There is often a terminal just inside the main gate (opposite where your taxi/iown ship lands), just off to one side. Go to that or any other terminal you can find outside. Choose the section showing the different buildings and look for the Habitat. There will sometimes be two, but often one is just contains a cabin. If you know what part of the HAB you need (corridor, dorm etc), choose that in the next column. When selected you will then see the contents of each room and somewhere will be an object showing the blue mission symbol. Click on that and a pin will appear on it. Leave the terminal and check your top HUD, turn until you see a blue/orange marker with distance, and head towards it. The object itself will also have a round marker on it at the height it is above ground, so if the round marker appears high up, you know it is upstairs. Once you are at the position indicated by the HUD marker you will usually see the round marker nearby, either at the same level or slightly above, indicating the upper floor. When you arrive at the settlement, a message will appear in the top right corner reminding you of the mission and giving the code number. Interact with the padlock and enter the number in the display using arrow keys to move around the keypad, then press the enter key in the bottom right and the box/locker will open. Interact with the required object inside and you will pick it up. If you are feeling brave, you can check open boxes and lockers for other objects and take (steal) those too for some extra credits - but don't get scanned if you do! :) PS - keep a close eye on that text in the top right - that is where you will see when a guard is targeting you for a scan and STOP until you get a scan clear message (if you have nothing to hide of course - otherwise.... well good luck LOL)
 
Yeh I've not seen a setltment yet that had no terminals outside. I'm not saying you're wrong but at the very least we can work it out :)

So there are no terminals near the landing site. And no terminals near the main gates either. They would show up on the mini-map as little terminal icons right?

Here is a screenshot of my landing site... Source: https://i.imgur.com/w3BzcTW.png


The system is Quator. The planet is Camp Cooper. The settlement is Shao Prospecting Facility.
