Enigmatic Fortress perma shut down?

[KopiG]

So after I chose the Higher Estimate option with the science ship (500 energy) the fortress came back online. I fought it again but then I dont have any other options now with it. It is shut down for good. You can perma mess it up and cannot retry?

I ran into the same issue

It never did anything at all in my last game. I reached it pretty late, and conquered its territory, hoping it would activate again. I checked up on it with military and science ships regularly, but nothing ever happened...

@Wiz Is this WAD? Anybody knows if this is WAD? If not can provide a save file and submit a bug report.

My understanding (and I could well be wrong) is that the fortress chain can only be attempted once, and if you don't make the right choices at every event, you end up with nothing.
If that understanding is correct then it's WAD, although really pretty harsh as I don't think there's any (non-cheaty) way to get significant hints as to what the correct choices are. (OTOH, talk to the Curators about it; you might pick up on something I missed). Obviously, if you're not playing on Ironman, it can be save scummed.

Why do I have it still in my Situation Log then? Sais something about boarding the station with scientists but cant seem to have any option whatsoever. Can provide a screenshot later evening when I get home.

Curators aren't of any help. When I try to purchase information from them, they take my money and a textbox blinks for a single frame, which makes a bit hard to read...

I am having the same issue

Same thing happened to me. You can read the conversation in the text config files to get the info.
How to do so can be found here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...y-supposed-to-close-out.981360/#post-22083778

Same issue here, except I used the demo team to get in and did the first puzzle wrong. The fortress reactivated and I easily beat it, but there's no reactivated events for it. Are there supposed to be?

Pretty sure this is a bug -- the chain used to fire again and again until you got it right. Now, it tries to fire again, but doesn't trigger the initial timed "entering the enigmatic fortress" event.

Edit: by "used to," I mean 1.3

Any current known workaround or do I have to wait for the next hotfix?

Entering "event guardian.2151" in the console

I'm having the exact same problem myself. And I can't try Haccoude's console command suggestion because I'm playing Iron Man. Very sad.

sam issue here

I have also had this problem.

Forgot to respond to this. I too was playing ironman and was unable to use the console command suggestion. Ended up having to just let the fortress be and go on with my game.
