Inhuman quest: finding the airfield crash site

Developer reply · September 11 Lucasmml answered a player who could not locate the crash site. Use this sequence for that objective, not as a claim that every quest uses the same marker.

1. Track Inhuman in the Journal.Make sure the objective you are following is the crash-site task.
2. Open and pan the world map.Look for the large drawn circle. Do not assume the relevant area is already inside the current viewport.
3. Travel to the circled area.If the approach seems blocked, recheck your location. The developer says the plane can be approached from different sides, with one approach involving water.

This is a developer-described route check, not a verified coordinate map. The thread does not establish a uniquely required north entrance or a special key.

Following a different objective? Use the map destination index for berry fields, trader supplies and bunker questions. If a Job is absent from your notifications, follow the Journal tracking steps; that is a different check from locating Inhuman's search circle.

The circle is visible, but cliffs seem to block the plane

Recheck your position against the Inhuman search area before looking for an unlock. The same thread received a renewed report of blocked approaches in October. The developer again described ordinary access, not a secret entrance. That clarifies the intended access but does not provide a photographed route around every cliff.

1. Confirm the objective and map area together.Track Inhuman, pan to its large circle and compare your own position with it. A southern circle mentioned by another player is not an exact coordinate for your route.
2. Reassess the approach instead of pushing the same cliff.The developer describes several approaches and water on one side. This is not an instruction to jump from a cliff or proof that every shoreline is passable; do not assume you must enter from the north.
3. Check the result before declaring the quest complete.Identify the aircraft, then read the active Journal objective. Reaching the search circle alone does not prove that the required interaction or quest stage has completed.

If the route still appears blocked, preserve your save and capture the world map with your position and circle, plus the obstacle in the same build. Report those together through Feedback. No verified coordinates, mandatory key or continuously demonstrated approach are established by the thread.

Catching Current: detector says it needs a magazine

Community solution · September 10–11 A player received the detector but thought a magazine was missing. A reply says to equip it and follow its beeps; the original poster later confirmed that worked. This is player-confirmed for that report, not our current-build test.

1. Confirm you have the detector.Check Inventory and the equipped tool slot. If absent, use the branch below.
2. Equip it and listen near the objective.The reported method follows increasingly frequent beeps as you get closer. Do not buy a gun magazine solely because of the warning.
3. Keep an exit route.The reply warns about radiation. Check supplies before following the signal into danger.

No detector after accepting the task?

Update and load the affected save first. Hotfix 0.8.8 and Update 0.8.17 say that saves missing Anatoly's Detector because the backpack was full receive it again on load. When accepting the quest with a full backpack, the detector should drop at your feet. These are developer-listed fixes, not a guarantee for every missing-item cause.

1. Back up the affected save and check your installed build.Use a build containing 0.8.8 or later; keep the original recovery point before retrying.
2. Load the affected save and check inventory.Look for Anatoly's Detector in the backpack and equipped tools. If you just accepted the quest with a full backpack, also inspect the ground at your feet.
3. Equip it and verify the quest.Use the detector signal steps above, then check the active objective. Do not buy a gun magazine based solely on the old warning.
4. If it is still missing, keep your backup.Report the build, branch, quest stage, inventory capacity and whether the item appeared after reloading. Do not overwrite your only save or assume a trader sells it.
