Workaround if "On the Shoulders of Giants" bugs out

[Jman5]

Hey guys, in my first game I chose the On the shoulders of Giants Origin. Not trying to spoil it, but you go through some archaeological dig sites sequentially. However in my case, they stopped spawning new digsites for some reason. You can get around that by clicking on a planet copy/pasting one of these into the console:

Spoiler

effect create_archaeological_site =site_ex_gravitas
effect create_archaeological_site =site_something_waiting
effect create_archaeological_site =site_buried_deep
effect create_archaeological_site =site_in_memoriam
effect create_archaeological_site =site_the_last_stand
effect create_archaeological_site =site_dark_secret
effect create_archaeological_site =site_benign_cover_up
effect create_archaeological_site =site_bury_the_hatchet

These should be in order, so just click on your last digsite to get the name of it and type in the next one on the list. Enjoy!

It adds the site at location:

It does not give a location

Thanks for this, it really helped with actually being able to continue with the origin. Should I use the benign cover up and bury the hatchet as well or should I wait with them?

I think you have to keep spawning them. They should be popping up sequentially.

I spawned benign cover up, but it the text from the dig site itself made it seem like it had to be placed in a different system than the one you spawned in.

Probably because it does spawn in a different system to your starting system. An event fire around mid game that will lead you to find one of the final 2 dig sites based on which ending you got to the initial dig site chain.

So if I just play until the mid game it's supposed to spawn naturally?

Yeh not sure if it was mid game or me moving my capitol that triggered it though.
