[FIXED] Sidequest "Settler Shortage" cannot be completed

[taz71]

same here, even tried 5 foreign settler families from the shop, nothing worked

Ok these are the requirements listed for the quest "Settler shortage"

• Open the population tooltip.
• Select the provision house with your mouse cursor.
• Produce enough Traveller Families to obtain 5 Settler(s).
• Use at least 5 Traveller Families on your Mayor’s House. NOTE: this is an incorrect translation, using 1 traveller family is enough

Are all requirements green in the quest book? If not, which are not?
Can any of you post a screenshot of the quest page? (you can upload it here and then copy paste the link here on the forum.)

Since taz71 is experiencing the problem as well, I expect it could be a bug. So you might want to contact Support here and explain the problem in detail.

I'm having the same problem.... Have added 5 settlers about 5-6 times now and still quest is unfinished... will send a ticket

[Fexno]

Two other things that came to mind:
1) When you apply the Traveller Family to the mayor's house, be sure that you have are at least 5 settlers under maximum population.
2) Only produce 1 Traveller Family and apply that one (So you add 5 settlers at once and not more)

I get an item in my star menu that increases settlers, but it doesn't have the "travelling settlers" tooltip and doesn't contribute to quest completion when applied.

Additionally, settlers created in stacks appear as a single item with the total number of settlers (ie. 5 x travelling settlers = 25 settler item, no tooltip, no quest completion)

Happening to me, a lot under max pop and have tried it numerous times with 1 family (= 5 settlers) and 5 families (=25 settlers). The quest acknowledges and turns green first 3 boxes, so it agrees i have made the family but refuses to believe i am clicking this family on mayors house even though my pop goes up.

I believe I have discovered why this quest is no longer working. The settlers in your star used to be called "Wayward settler", "Traveller family", "Retired Bandits", now however they are called "Settlers". This change is recent, possible no older than when they brought the science system in. So what has happened is the quest is looking for them using the old name not the new blanket "Settler" name.
