It wanted me to upload to data port 1. This hab only had data port 2. SMH!!!
Upload data to non-existent data port
- Thread starter insane golgotha
- Start date
You may find it in the Industrial unit - Hab ports appear almost anywhere over a site (don't ask me why!)
Otherwise jumping out to OC and back may fix it for you.

A hab data port not in a hab? Logic....
no wonder people have trouble finding data ...
So you seriously just checked the one building and decided it was nowhere in the base? Couldn't even be bothered to look in the other building via the terminal?
You may have 'logic', but zero curiosity / problem solving
Yet no-one has mentioned that a crashed beacon often has a Hab Data Port attached...
It is the soap brainwashing them...
Why would you call it a Habitat Data port then? Yes, I also expect to do expect to do grocery shopping at the Home Depot. SMH.So you seriously just checked the one building and decided it was nowhere in the base? Couldn't even be bothered to look in the other building via the terminal?

You are in for quite a journey then. Hab ports in CMD centres, HAB port in warehouses. Oh my!
Oh no, I forgot - you won't look in them because you think it's impossible:
Frontier forum users: "man i hate the whiners and complainers"
Also Frontier forum users: resorts to insults and name calling when a user points out a gameplay issue
Never change, Elite community.

For the longest time, I didn't realize the crashed skimmer at IM 1s had a data port. I always approached it from one side, cut the panel and nicked the circuits but never looked at the other side!Yet no-one has mentioned that a crashed beacon often has a Hab Data Port attached...
All those SDPs gone begging! 
This isn't a game play issue though. There are many of those, some game breakingly bad at this moment in time but this "issue" isn't one of them.
Habitat data ports exist in various locations. That's it. It's a "thing I learned today" feature that is gone forever once you've learned it (I learned it because I actually pay attention to the game and saw, very early on, that habitat data ports exist all over settlements; the clue is when you look at the data port, it actually tells you what it is).
The inverse of this feature would be fewer habitat data ports. No, I don't think we need that, thanks!
In the case of this mission, the mission hint doesn't actually say Habitat building at all. It's absolutely fine in the grand scheme of things that a player allowed this to confuse them into believing the habitat data port must be in a HAB building and thus prevented them from taking the next logical step, which would have been to check the other buildings before concluding this was a bug (I mean, it might still be a bug, it might be that the data port doesn't exist but I guess we'll never know now will we? What we do know is that habitat data ports exist in different locations so it's most likely this is what the issue is in this case) There's no written world rule that dictates that naming a data port "habitat" in a computer game must therefore require that said data port must be housed within a Habitat building in that game. If the data ports had been called "Storage Data Ports" then you could happily place them anywhere as well. It's not a broken design feature, it's just a human seeing what they think is a pattern and refusing to acknowledge any other possibility, even when they've been told how it actually works and can see in the mission text in their own image that it doesn't say anything about buildings.
Ini the history of all things, I imagine there are countless times when people have been caught out by basic logic failures like this. You get this sort of thing in those reading/logic aptitude tests all the time. People get caught out because they allow themselves to assume something without thinking it through fully.
Being upset or angry at something or someone else for a failure of your own doing doesn't tend to illicit much sympathy, in my experience. Much less when the user's error has been pointed out to them and they still insist it's someone else's fault.

And I thought we are playing a game...

Hab data ports existing in several types of buildings is all an intentional part of the settlement design. Some of these corporations work their staff into the ground, they don't even provide enough bunk beds in the Hab buildings for all their workers so they are forced to live and sleep at their workstations. When I started out in EDO I soon realized that following the teachings of Stealth Master Ydiss was The Way. I thought I was getting quite good, sneaking up on workers without them hearing me, but now I realize they are half asleep from the exhaustion of having to live at their workplaces. They're lucky they get Hab data ports at work for a short entertainment break.
Maybe its's a subliminal plea for help from the EDO coders.

With a GBP 1 billion market cap for FDEV it certainly is.
Life is a game.
