There are several points I'm stuck on in SC3 to the point of extreme
frustration:

1) Can't give the Data Pack with the Eternal One's name to the
Daktaklakpak. When ever I meet one that asks for information, giving it
is never an option.

2) Can't get the Vux and the V-I together. I've combined the DNA and the
V-I say they want to go see the Vux, but the Vux always just terminate
communication.

3) I figure I need to finish step 2 to completely fix the Ultron.

4) Can't get onto Alula's Rainbow world to get the Ark. Is there some
additional part I need to make a more effective anti-matter scoop? As
in, one that lets me pick stuff up off the planets?

5) Can't find the Ploxis world. Not surprising, really; I talked to the
Ploxis leader and didn't join him, but I've never seen him again. I
figure this is still further in the game.

6) Because of step four, I can't rejoin the Chmmr.

I'm up to day 750 in the game, I've colonized EVERY system except the
Anomolies, I've talked to everyone, and I'm really starting to worry
there was some story progression bug that hit me back a ways ... I've
got a friend who's in exactly the same situation, too, so it's not
isolated.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Matthew

In article <324D42...@u.washington.edu>, ma...@u.washington.edu says...

hello, I am stuck too, I don't know where the chmmr, orz, ariloo,
plotkis, suppox, or the uva homeworld are located.
or even a clue about how to stop the vux.
please write me and tell me how to find these things (a hint on the
vux would be helpful).
sincerly, rob rope.

I wish I could give some help. I'm at roughly the same place
and stuck. But, to support your bug theory:

1> The Chmrr never split. I never heard about this "Eternal one
summoning device" trick until the ploxis confessed to it. They're
alive and well for me.

2> I have the scoop and the antimatter containment grid (what you need
to get the antimattter of the rainbow worlds, you get it from the doog
after you help them all, or at least I did)

3>Neither the Vux, or the V-I will have anything to do with that damn
matrix. Even though I know what it is and why it's important.

Either I missed something, or there is indeed a bug.

I'm stuck in a similar position. I'm pretty much convinced that the
mother ark is on the planet calypso but I can't get it because of the
anti-matter. I have the anti-matter scoop and the containment grid
but they dont seem to do anything, even when I'm at an anti-matter
world. I am also stuck with the encrustation matrix.

I can't exactly remember what you have to do, but later you will be allowed
to give it to them. I'm pretty sure it's after you rejoin the Chmmr.

I haven't done that one either.

Me too.

You need to cure the Harika to find the Owa homeworld. They will give you
the necessary materials.

You need to ally with the K'Tang. I can't remember who gives you it, but
you use a device on their homeworld and they join you. I think it's given
by the Harkia, but I'm probably wrong. Sorry about that.

> 6) Because of step four, I can't rejoin the Chmmr.

Do above.

You need to talk to the daktaklakpak a lot. You'll learn that they
have a special missile against the k'tang leader.
You'll also learn that they are looking for the eternal one's true
name so you can swap one for the other

You can't "talk to the Daktaklakpak a lot" UNTIL you find out about the
true name and get ot for them. The option to talk to them about the true
name only appears when you find out that you need to use the CUD from
your scientists, I think.
