Rover can't reach target even at distance 0cm - Mission ID 3849

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I'm running into an odd problem.

I landed a small rover in Gale Crater, and find that I cannot reach the target that allows me to continue the mission. I get the "Explore Complete!" message, and then the target stays underneath me.

Strangest part is I can drive around and it will follow me.

I have tried this mission 3 times, happened each time.

Drove around a bit, target followed me, staying beneath me. Distance reads as 0 cm. The distance changed occasionally, sometimes was 1cm, but even when I am am at d=0, it does not seem to register that I have reached it.

For some reason it never registers that I reached the target... and so I cant go on to take photos and measurements to complete the mission. Quite annoying.

Hello OlympusMons! From screens you posted I can see that the cross showing location of next target changed from blue to yellow. Blue cross means exploration target and you're going to complete it just by reaching it. The yellow cross means analyze where you are supposed to use some instrument to complete it (or example EAS to capture gas and analyze it or soil probe to find more about soil composition). You have to change view to see what instrument the analyze target needs. You can change view in menu that is situated on middle top of your screen. There is a standard HUD (monitor icon), instrument HUD (drill icon) and camera HUD (camera icon). You can change them by a simple click. Hope this helps you. ;-)

Wow. I should have realized that. I've been playing this game for months. Am I just an idiot then?

haha. Sorry! Thanks!

Is the yellow also for pictures or is it only for instruments ?

Cause i'm colorblind and i can't see the difference between green, orange and yellow, and if picture and instruments have two different colors, can we have any way to change ourselves the color ?

Like through a mod or by editing a value somewhere in the game ?

Thanks !
