Fixed Hydration Research Lab [SPOILER]

Having a weird one.

I have reached the point on the quest where it asks me to assist with the experiment.

I go to the little 'sampling' room, sit there, fade to black, scientist manifests, I have the three Nuka Cola bottles in front of me.

I go through the dialogue and when she asks me to pick one I cannot do anything except look around. No way to interact with the bottles, no way to stand up, just sit there looking baffled; have to reload a previous save.

I have tried this in three different research labs with the same result (except the last one the scientist spawned inside the room.)

EDIT: I also experience a nausea inducing 'shake'. It made me giggle at first because I thought 'how fitting, my toon is having the shakes from abstinence syndrome.' The giggles wore off quickly though and I had to TCL to stop the camera from shaking.
 
You won't get a prompt to interact, just center your view and press your activate button.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try as soon as I have the circus on the road again (just reinstalled the OS.)

EDIT: Just in case you think me more of a lunatic than I already am I did not reinstall the OS because of this bug that happens not to be one; we had a power cut, UPS depleted, they briefly restored the power just long enough for my PC to power on with a depleted UPS then they cut the power again... my PC did not like it.
 
Righty - I am finally up and running :)

Sunshine got in the way *tsk* *tsk*

It was a bit finicky but I managed in attempt #3 (attempts #1 and #2 the researcher spawned on top of the desk and duly kicked the bottles off and the Nuka Cola Quantum was beyond my reach.)

May be useful to implement means to abort the sequence?

Or bolt down the bottles :D
 
No idea why she would spawn there - I'll look into fixing it because her voice being muffled like an intercom won't make much sense if she's in the room with you....

The wasteland can be a dull place... can't blame her for wanting to dance on the table and kick some bottles.
 
Got the same or a similar bug. But for me she spawns a bit away from the lab, using tfc I can find her. It also makes the test stop. I get the first line that ends with "your just here for the free nuka cola". Then I can drink the regular nuka cola, and she starts on a line that goes: "don't wo", and the audio cuts out, leaving me trapped in the chair. I can pick up the other colas, and open the door, but thats it.

My save:

Yikes- that's no good. Thanks for the save!
 
I had just done the first part and put some cola in the fridge , came back to it later and got the second part but didnt know to go into the room, so had gone off doing other things and havent tried yet as i had other problems to try and sort out......
 
I don't think these issues are going to be wide-spread. We tested the crap out of this quest, I've completed it without issue at least 20 times myself.
 
Done the drinking bit , how do you do the crops bit?
I put more crops down , i've stored crops in the workshop including tato's and still not ready to start the next experiment, what am i doing wrong?
I'm trying to get this done so i can rule it out of the problems I'm having but its a pain, its now 10:45pm and i havent even eaten today, i'm so stressed..............

@McGorien Your plot is unfortunately in a bad spot. The buildings that aren't meant to be scrapped, such as the sanctuary house you built this on, have strange invisible collision and navmesh problems that prevent the quest NPC from getting close enough to complete the quest. (This was one of the only bugs I wasn't able to solve in development of this and had to put a warning in the patch notes about it)

Fortunately (or unfortunately), if you demolish that lab, you can continue the quest at a different Hydration Research Lab.

I am finding that the bug where she ends up in the room with you is more common than I'd like, and I'm looking into a solution for that.
 
So, the fridge up there needs all 3 types of nuka? How many, though? I now have 7 regular and quantum, and 6 cherry. Should it work?

Also, I noticed this in the logs:

Is that normal?
 
Could someone kindly let me know know what's up with the melons?

I have planted melons, filled the workshop with melons, worn melons, eaten melons, touched Trashcan Carla's melons, the wretched thing still exhorts me to make sure there are enough melons...
 
You all know I like my secrets, but I will help you guys out by saying you don't need to give them Quantum.
 
First off, amazing mod, seriously makes the game a new experience!

I am not sure if I have a bug or what, I am at the stage where it says to wait for the experiment, its been 10 in game days and no progress, any ideas?
