Open only the stage matching your current mission
The solutions below contain specific mission names, items and destinations. To avoid seeing ahead in the story, check only stages already in your mission list.
- Record the current objective, quantity, recipient and days remaining from the mission list
- Identify whether you are stuck on crafting, carrying, placing or reporting
- Open the relevant solution and work backward through missing equipment and materials using the equipment guide
This does not cover the fastest schedule, all achievements or every later mission. Do not infer that all main missions are untimed from the individual untimed missions listed here.

- Select required materials in the hotbar and attach them to matching Assembly Station components in turn
- Use the Builder License from the test for the next registration step

The documented registration mission has no time limit. If the mayor is absent, find him using the map or in town. You do not register by interacting with an empty desk in Town Hall.

These are the main connecting steps, not a full table of enemy and boss positions or attacks. Completing only the bridge and waiting for transport commissions can leave prerequisites unfinished.

Accept and deliver transport commissions one vehicle at a time

| Progress milestone | Acceptance / equipment prerequisites | Materials and work | Delivery / next check | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assemble Dee-Dee Transport is posted | The meeting after the cave mission, followed by Presley's guidance the next morning | Accept one relevant request from the board | The accepted request appears in your mission list | An untimed mission and competition for board requests are different matters |
| Make the required components | Worktable Level 2, furnace and Assembly Station | Rubber Tire3、Small Engine1、Single Seat2、Copper Bar5、Glass5、Fiber Cloth6 | The materials for 1 vehicle are ready | Do not count the same stock toward other requests |

The Small Engine is not a starting Worktable recipe. It can be found among early ruin rewards, but there is no guaranteed day for finding one. This walkthrough does not guarantee all 5 commissions or their related achievement.

Check one prerequisite back when progression stalls
Wide tables scroll horizontally.
| What has stalled | Missing requirement | Machine / person to revisit | Exception |
|---|---|---|---|
| You built the furnace, but the test will not advance | Collection / presentation, or reporting the first test | Carry the finished item and choose Presley's mission dialogue | Placing it at the workshop does not mean it has been presented |
| The bridge is unfinished | Install 2 Bridge Heads and 1 Bridge Body at the site | Handbook quantities and placement markers | Do not place the Grinder or Cutter as bridge components |
| No transport request after the bridge | Cave mission, report and subsequent meeting | Gale's request and letters / Presley's instructions | Do not use an old route that goes directly from bridge to transport |
| You cannot make seats or tires | Worktable Lv2 | The upgrade menu at A&G Construction | Different from upgrading the Assembly Station |
| The stop diagram has not arrived | Dedicated mission dialogue or delivery of 3 Data Discs | Gale → Petra objectives and mail | Do not confuse this with additional discs for regular research |
| No delivery option appears | Specified recipient, item, quantity and current stage | Mission list, bag and dialogue options | Talk at another time if the person is at a festival or asleep |

Frequently asked questions
By what day should I complete everything?
Research order, mining finds and commissions vary, so no fixed schedule is prescribed. Use each request's deadline and whether you can build the required equipment as your reference.
I installed the item but received no reward
Some missions have separate installation and reporting stages. Check the next objective and specified recipient in the mission list. The relevant solution contains the exact sequence.
Do main missions have time limits too?
Yes. Some are untimed, but that cannot be generalized to all of them. This article lists only individually checked cases and prioritizes the actual mission screen.
Waiting as an older guide instructs does not trigger the next job
A report or event may still be pending. Prerequisites can differ by version; use the relevant solution's stalled-progression checks to work back from your current objective.
