Settlement Repair missions still AWOL

[Valatar]

I visited several systems after update 6 hit and none of them had any restore missions available. Since those were my favorite mission type, this is a very unhappy situation for me.

I’m staring at a pile of them right now. Remember, you need to be in a populated system, ideally anarchy (to avoid the current notoriety issues) with factions in a state of civil unrest or infrastructure failure

If you don't like fires, outbreak and infrastructure failure are the states you want.

I did plenty of them in Colonia this weekend...

I think this is due to how the BGS works. Restore missions are highly sought after be players, and enough players do them, the settlement will switch to online the next tick and will stay that way unless it gets repeatedly shut down again or shuts down due to a general BGS state change. So in short: If you want restoration missions, shut down a bunch of settlements repeatedly to generate some.

Or just do the scav versions. They are slightly less lucrative but it means the lights stay out forever.

It used to be these missions generated for any faction, not just the owning faction. That changed in update 5. Before, every single system had restore missions because there are always inactive settlements. Now, they only generate missions where the owning faction is located within the usual BGS rules. Which is less frequent.

It's now working as intended, in theory. Wherever you see scavenger missions, there should be a location nearby where the owning faction of that settlement is offering restore missions.

"Should be" is the only condition I've not gone out to test thoroughly though.

Sirius Free at Ashby City in Luyten’s Star has been offering them all weekend.

Check any mission board for scavenger hunt missions. Take note of the system they send you to. Go to that system. The local mission board should have reactivation missions for those settlements.

Thanks all for the advice for finding the missions, appreciate it.
