Starfall - Between A Rock And A Hard Place - bug

[MrsMagoo]

I received a reply from support - if what i described (in my post above) doesn't work for you there is no answer at this point.

I have problem with star shards boxes vanishing.

I completed the quest "Mine your business" and started next quest with 217 hards in Mayor.
I found 5 boxes with shards in my Star. I opened first box, got 100 shards = 317 in Mayor.
Then I opened second box and game froze. I waited few minutes then refreshed and all 4 boxes were no longer in last Star tab.
No (missing 400) shards in Star, only 322 in Mayor (after first part from mines delivery) :/
I lost 400 shards because of the freeze.
I tried to send a ticket, but whole day all I got was "Error, refresh page, do it later".
I talked with Trafffer about the ticket not working - he said he passed ticket issue to devs.
Tried again after few hours - still not working.

Very unhappy

most likely issue is that the reward is actually 1 box and not 5 so it bugs out on the semi optical empty boxes

to be honest, 5 boxes with shards would be an overpowering additional reward on top of the mined shards from the quest itself (5 boxes would more or less double that reward depending on the average percentages of shard rewards from the boxes)

And already the lvl 3 and 4 reward boxes made fromt he shards have way overpowering xp rewards that scales in completely crazy numbers (use 3,5 times the shards for a better reward box is giving you 100x the xp compared to the lvl 1 reward box .....

The quest is neither completing nor failing, nothing is happening. The "Between a rock etc." quest has 1 day, 8 hours left at the time of writing. Each shard pile has 16, 9, 3 and 6 shards left. One pile is now a glowing crater.

How can this be resolved? I have already failed once due to running out of time. These "Wait 36 hours" quests are weird...

This is not a technical issue, its just that alot of their quests have nonsensical structure. This one requires you to wait, so that you dont finish the quest too quickly, but its irrelevant because you're still constrained by the mining rate of the deposits, that makes you finish the quest in roughly 2 days anyway. Hence you will have the option to get the rewards when all of the deposits are fully mined.

A hint for the future, if you notice that the amounts left differ this much, rearrange some of your buildings and place new storage houses close to the deposits to reduce the travel time from the deposits, otherwise slow mining will cost you a couple extra hours (like in the example you provided, having to wait 7 extra cycles between one with 9 left and the other one is almost 2 hours by itself).

most likely issue is that the reward is actually 1 box and not 5

Its perhaps a good idea you do the quest at least once instead of giving advice based on pure speculation.

Theres 5 boxes, all of them grant resources, and they seem to not work properly for like every other person.

Maybe it's quest related somehow?

Sometimes it gives me 5 boxes and sometimes it gives me just 1. Also, sometimes i can open all 5 of them and get 5x shards (checked), but sometimes it freezes after opening the first one and the remaining ones just disappear.

So far I have had this at least 3 times I think, twice 5 boxes work without a problem, only once I had this just 1 box bug.

Apologies for hijacking the thread but it won't allow me to create a new thread and I can't send a ticket as the help system is broken.

I've just opened my first Master Compendium Of Starfall Phenomenon Discoveries and got the Tome and some granite but what happened to the 33million exp points? Am I missing something, besides 33million exp points? Unless the points are awarded before opening the box I don't appear to have them. The first tile was blank.

first time i got the 5 boxes and got 500 shards.
second time it showed 5 boxes but after visiting another island there is only 1 box left.

still not working i stop to try

This will be the second time the section the "Fully mine the 5 deposits" will time out and fail. The mines cannot be cleared in the time allotted, A huge waste if resources again.
