Searching for the UFO quest or POI

 

Anyone any hint where to get the UFO quest or find the UFO POI? 
Played through the Dr. Ana quests but no UFO? Friend of mine got it but failed and it did not show up again. He can not remember anything. Found some videos on Youtube and seems like Trader Hugh T3 quest in Forest Biome. I‚m level 300 getting T6 quests only. Any way to get the quest or location of POI?
 

Thanks

Delete the two drone files in your save.  You may then have to use jd clear again, but you shouldn't have any problems afterwards.

Will this delete drones of all players as this is on a server?

Got the same issue with my drone.

However "jd clear" does not work but throws error message "object reference not set to an instance of an object". Any other way to get rid of the drone beside dropping the whole character?

Hi.

Got another issue. My drone is gone. "jd" says i'm having a drone but position is unknown. when i enter the game you hear the message "critical issue, shutown" as usual. However, the drone is not visible nor does jd know it's position. Trying to use "jd clear" to drop ownership result in error "object reference not set to an instance of an object". Sounds like he think there is a drone but he has no pointer to the drone instance. I cannot spawn another drone as long as the other one is still somewhere. Any hint? Already searched the internet but nothing helped.

Starting a new game there are some options to manage the size of the wandering horde. Any hint where those settings are stored?

The game is running on a server and those options are not in the serverconfig.xml nor can i find any other files whih sounds like to holde those options.

Any hints?

I guess another way to figure it out is to consider the Z's AI.  If you hide and they ignore you and walk past, then they were part of the Wandering Horde.  If they run past you and stop where a Screamer screamed, then they were part of her reinforcements.  If they run past you and stop at a spot (maybe marked by trash on the ground) in the POI, then they were part of the POI's Sleepers. 

 

I don't think there are any other sources of groups to consider, except if you are in the Wasteland at night then when an out-of-group (Sleeper, Screamer, Wanderer) Z dies, another Z immediately respawns nearby and might run to the location of the last death (if it was a noisy death).  In the future when you encounter a big group and it's not the weekly Horde event, then just find somewhere to hide and try to kill them with stealth so that the noise doesn't make things worse.

Well, when it happened the first time we started the Rocket Launch Pad quest killing the Zombies outside the first building. There we no screamers in the quest groups nor outside to be seen nor heard.

Sounds like The Wandering Horde (every day or two a group of Zs go to a location near you, sometimes you won't notice each other; DFalls lets you configure the size of this at the Start screen) initially, but if you were using explosives and un-silenced guns, and there's a group of you, then that certainly caused a Screamer (thin low-HP white-clothed female Zombie with a large toothy mouth) or two to spawn. 

 

Screamers' screams spawn a group (configurable size at the Start screen) of Zombies, which might include another Screamer.  If you kill them before they scream (i.e. they're still more than 20ish meters away) then not much happens.  If you fight Screamers summoned by Scout's missions, those Screamers won't summon anything (making them very easy Scout missions).

Thanks, we are aware of screamers and wandering hordes. How about 20+ wandering hordes as this is what we got at the start of the T6 quest? I doubt it‘s a simple wandering. I thought about level and game stage but even then it‘s insane if you can‘t run a quest at level 134. Is it because another player level 210 is in the world (12k) even if not in the party?

Just tried another T5 fetch quest in another city near by. Shortly after the second room large groups are coming in from outside. Again and again, no screamer seen. Only option was to escape the building and flee. However,, this was the second quest in row i had to flee because of those unlimited reinforcements. No fun.

Endless Reinforcements....

We are enjoying DF in a group of 2-5 players having different levels and game stages. Recently we started to see something strange and not sure if this is intended behaviour or something else. We started a T6 quest (Rocket Launch Pad) and while fighting the 2nd or 3rd group a new group of zombies approached from outside. They were much stronger than those from the quest and are not marked by red dots as part of the quest. While we fought them off they got reinforcements and reinforcements and so on. Endless reinforcements until we run out of ammo, rocket, grenades whatsoever. The same did not happen when i tried the same location solo again as T5 quest. However, it happened again when we run a T3 quest in a group of 4. My friends are strating to get tired of DF as it became impossible to run a quest in a group of 2 or more as those hordes starting to show up more often. Are we doing something wrong? Do i need to change some parameters to allow quests to complete without any horde or endless reinforcements?

 

Thanks!
