Question Can't progress the questline?

I already unlocked all the new explosives and collars , got the supermutant, the ms nanny robot, ophelia and jammer in the base, the last mission I did was for Ophelia and it was to collect a dead drop which was an audio log about a Brotherhood Scribe, ive been screwing around for a few in game days now, probably even weeks have passed, and I don't get offered any new dialogue, the ms nanny robot is just standing there, idling, can't interact with it, the patch notes said more was added to the questline in 4.0.9 but I can't seem to trigger it, what are the requirements for progressing the questline beyond this point?
 
That is 3 small scenes involving the Ms Nanny and Ophelia and upgrades being done to the bot.

No scenes with the bot have ocurred to my knowledge, I've seen a few, but they're all pretty bugged tbh, last scene I saw was Jammer putting down a turrent to gun down 3 of my recruits (why does that happen btw) and he picked the worst spot to put it down which was exactly inside a wall in abernathy farm, so I had to remove a few items so it could progress correctly cause they were getting in the way of the turret, so I'd imagine the scenes for Ophelia and the Bot just got bugged.
 
That scene with the turret, Jammer and Ophelia should have been having a conversation, which would explain why the raiders got gunned down.
Have you checked the bounty board on the war desk for quests?

Yeah I figured something like that was supposed to happen, unfortunately my HQ has a lot of stuff and its pretty crowded with objects so any "scene" like these will always cause issues due to the engine's limitations, unless they get scripted to happen in a specific location where no one would build.

I got no new bounties either, are those conversations random or should they happen in a specific time window?
 
Ok, so went back to find out the exact order of things and what comes next.

24Hrs-36Hrs after you completed Outcast Outreach (dead drop), the next quests are started by opening dialogue with Ophelia where she will direct you towards the bounty board for the details on the quests.

Just went in game to double check waited 36 hours , talked to Ophelia , Whats on your mind? she says shes scaving for parts or something but nothing else :/

A console command to manually start the quest that follows at the very least would come handy
 
How many settlements have you captured? The next quest I believe is triggered at 8 settlements captured as either Vassals or Outposts.
 
My map has 9 skull icons , I think I have 9 unless they're bugged, (Theyre actually 10 but Jamaica Plains Basement counts as another settlement for some reason, its bugged I believe)

Im gonna try and conquer more see if I trigger somethin
 
If the scenes aren't playing then the quests will not commence even with console commands because of the way aliases work. The characters are likely stuck in some event preventing anything from proceeding.

If you'd like to upload your save to dropbox.com or a google drive and PM me a link, I can research a solution for you when I'm working on the next patch.

Thats a bummer to hear, maybe a failsafe trigger would be a good idea, the scenes on this game are just too wonky tbh ):

Here's a save, though I doubt you will be able to even load it due to the high amount of mods it depends on:

I'm still having this even with today's patch, am I going to have to go to a previous save?
Nzane for me still didnt worked with the new patch i wait,i conquest a new outpost and nothing i didnt know if someday is going to be fixed but i think what do it can be hard.

Do you use instabell by any chance? I used it to scan for ophelia and try again now and I noticed the Ms nanny gets moved around as well, maybe I did that and it broke the scene it was supposed to play, I wonder if reloading a save is the only way, whats your load order?
 
I loaded a save where I haven't finished Outcast Outreach yet, its on progress, so the quest line is working per say, but I finish it, capture the rest of settlements required (8 at least)? and the questline is still not progressing, no new missions are given by ophelia/ jammer after Outcast Outreach finishes and the Ms Nanny scenes are not playing, its still laying around infront of the workshop, any ideas @kinggath?
