Anyone been able to so the Horizon Signal full chain (get tomb worlds and species traits) with the Infinity Machine in the same galaxy?

The Horizon Signal chain has been stalling for me. After I build the Spiral Feed and Loop Institute buildings nothing happens. The quest is still in my event log but no further messages.

The Horizon Signal actually prevents you from completing the Infinity Machine event chain once you begin it.

At any point that you enter into the Garganthua system after starting the Horizon Signal chain, an event will trigger where the Infinity Machine expresses knowledge of the Loop/Worm and asks you for assistance in getting its help. If you agree, it will destroy itself and add 20 Society points to Garganthua.

To continue the Horizon Signal event chain, you'll need to continue exploring and doing stuff. Have you gotten the Messenger Unleashed event? If so, eventually you'll have the opportunity for another rare Physics(?) research option that leads to the conclusion of the event chain.

Yes I've completed the quest before. But I've literally gone decades now without getting the Omega Ailment building. Something's definitely off.

I suspect its the Infinity Machine. Its already throwing event chains that don't show messages after completing and other such

I just got the Omega Alignment tech. It does appear after the Infinity Machine conversation. I guess it's just rare.
You're right. I've looked at the file now. Apparently one of the triggers is entry into a system. And I'm guessing that's another 0.5% (probably lower) or something in addition to the initial black hole event chain trigger.

...no, pretty sure RNGesus just hates you. I've consistently gotten the "enter into another system" trigger shortly after everything else.
