Underwater Missions Not Triggering
« on: November 29, 2024, 11:17:59 pm »
End of December 01, and I am yet to see a single underwater mission. At this point I have an armory full of various underwater gear (chiller, frogman, etc) and basic weapons to use - and not one mission.
Starting to get worried that there is something wrong with my game - is this normal?

I finished the research that should've unlocked those missions months ago - unless I am missing something?

Definately got !Undersea Treasures! researched?

Double check using the in game tech tree viewer.

Make sure you have a craft ready in a hangar that has SUB as one of it's capabilities~ Your Flagship/Worm/Snake/Jellyfish/Airtruck/Blowfish. In my experience, it won't spawn missions if you don't have a suitable craft for it. The Firefox is technically a sub but it doesn't seem to qualify for 99% of underwater missions since it's also a wide craft. Until I maintained a Jellyfish with a dedicated underwater team in my 3rd base I didn't get many underwater missions at all.

If you've definately got both ready, it's possible the RNG just hates you (I had one brothel mission in 7 months once). It's not hugely important at your stage of the game anyways. You will eventually want to access Dreams and Chants of the Deep stuff, but it's likely a while off.

I got some underwater missions when I still only had an airbus, so I think they'll spawn as long as you've got the right research done.

It's probably just bad luck, those missions are pretty rare.

Not having a suitable vehicle should not be an issue. I often purchase submarines or ground vehicles for specific missions and then sell them afterwards.

It was just the case of RNG hating me  ::)
took couple more months and finally had an underwater mission spawn in.
