Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
So the quest is to enter the Dreamer's Archive with the option to take it without or without force. I have elected not to use force. I have colonized every sector around it, so noone else has a claim on it except for myself. I have a colony with one remaining territory left to annex and have sufficient population to seize a territory which I have claim on. I am not allowed to do so.

Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Hey Distant Stranger, thanks for reaching out. You are unable to annex 'The Dreamer's Archive' because it's more than 2 sectors away from your colony of Un'B'To. A sector is only annexable if it's within a 2 sector range of the colony and the population requirement is met. You'll need to remove a sector in Tzu'Ri'Nix in order to annex The Dreamer's Archive.

 

[Distant Stranger]

You are right in as much as I cannot claim it with Un'B'To, but that was not the colony I was trying to seize it with, it is the one to the south which was one sector away. I am offering a new save file where I have released one sector as a forward base so I am well within the threshold for further expansion to better illustrate the nature of the problem.

 

[Triumph Jordi]

That works for me as intended. Just to make sure, you are clearing the landmark before trying to annex it right? It should have a broken/dotted borderline to indicate that it's owned by you.

 

[Distant Stranger]

The quest is to annex it without combat isn't it? I assumed clearing it would be taking it by force which would botch the quest.

 

[Triumph Jordi]

Landmarks can not be annexed without clearing them first, the quest accounts for this. So yea you'll have to clear it first before you can annex it and complete the quest.

 

[Distant Stranger]

So there is supposed to be a non violent outcome which does not require clearing out the temple prior to annexation. When I clear the temple and annex the territory, I get the Psynumbra outcome which makes me hostile to other races. That is not the way I am trying to solve the quest. Here, I look at the quest in this video and watch his outcome. I would like to do as he has done.

 

[Triumph Jordi]

Alright, now I see where the confusion is coming from. That player is following a different Story Path, that option he has is related to the Searching for Answers - Enter the Dreamer's Archives Quest. If you want to follow that path you'll need to progress in the Searching for Answers line by first clearing the Psynumbran Sanctorum.

You are the best thank you!
