I've only recently brought the game and apparently hardlocked myself by leaving the system Ancyra is in and it became abandoned. I went to Reddit and asked first and been told this apparently was fixed but as far as I know I'm using the most latest version because I downloaded it only a few days ago from the website. It says 0.96a-RC10 in the top right corner of the main menu. It was a big difficult to make out though.

Someone suggested I report this here, I don't really know what happened. I stabilised the jump point and it allowed me to jump through because I had the skill to do so. That's all I know. I don't remember too much from the first few hours of playtime but I believe I did reset my skills to get the transverse skill, honestly the curiosity to poke around was quite high.

Spoiler

Plz autosave plz, I prefer to run my first save on a new game without mods!

• To clarify: After stabilising the Point, you did not first return to Anycra, but jumped immediately?
  (Asking because from memory this planet is never again relevant after reaching Jangala.)
• Not quite the autosave you want, but pressing F5 is a quick save on your currently active save file, which you can duplicate using the "Save Copy" option in the main menu.
  (Just in case you are not aware of this functionality - in the Autosave proposal under Suggestions several people made the point that this was not clear to them.)

Yes I jumped and poked my nose about a little and my curiosity got the best of me. I ended up doing some trade and bringing food and organics to Ancyra as it said they needed them and I forgot that I was in the middle of a mission.

Thank you for the report! Ugh, this is why stabilization takes some in-game time, so you can't just jump through immediately and leave. I'll make a note to see if I can make it more heavy-handed after that time runs out, or perhaps make the rest of the tutorial optional from that point on.

You can fix your save, I think, by downloading the Console Commands mod (and LazyLib) here:
https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=4106.0

Then opening the console and running this:
RunCode Global.getSector().getMemoryWithoutUpdate().unset("$tutorialRespawn");

And this:
AddAbility "distress_call"

That should make the game think the tutorial is finished, and give you the Distress Call ability, which you get when you go back to Ancyra (which you didn't). The actual tutorial mission will remain unfinished, but shouldn't hurt anything.

Thank you! I think It appears to have done something because now I can speak to the academy and return a data core. It does say that there is no such command as AddAbility though. Is there a way to colonise Ancyra now its abandoned? The "Establish Colony" option is greyed out.

[Alex]

Ah, you can try:
RunCode Global.getSector().getCharacterData().addAbility("distress_call");

You'll need to add the ability to your ability bar by clicking on an empty slot etc.

You'd have to run more console commands to flag the system as accessible from hyperspace.

Yes thank you that worked!

I can do that from hyperspace, what do I type?

[Alex]

RunCode Global.getSector().getStarSystem("galatia").removeTag("system_cut_off_from_hyper")

May do it.

[FlareFluffsune]

Thank you that worked! Thank you so much for your help, I apologise for being a curious idiot. But am grateful for the help fixing my mistake.

The game has been a lot of fun.

[Alex]

No worries, glad it's all sorted and that you've been enjoying the game - thank you for your support! (And, that's definitely a hole in the tutorial that needs fixing one way or another, so that's on me.)
