Main Quest Starter Location

Stranger In A Strange Land Walkthrough

First part of this quest is sort of Game Tutorial.

Find Hawthorne's Ship

The smuggler took your meeting location a bit too literally. Guess that means his ship is yours now, if you can find it.

Recovery of the Power Regulator is the main task at Emerald Vale. Go to the nearby city of Edgewater and talk to Reed Tobson.

Find a Power Regulator

The Unreliable's power regulator has been damaged beyond repair and must be replaced. ADA suggested you seek help in the nearby settlement of Edgewater. Talk to whoever runs the town.

You've learned that a man named Reed Tobson is in charge of Edgewater. He might be able to help you find the part you need to fix the ship.

Reed asked you to deliver a message to a woman named Adelaide McDevitt before you head into the geothermal plant.

Divert Power from the Geothermal Plant is a separate Main Quest named Comes Now The Power check Comes Now The Power Walkthrough for full info.

Divert Power from the Geothermal Plant

You've learned that there are power regulators in both the Edgewater cannery and a Botanical Lab elsewhere in the region, but neither can be removed unless power is routed away from them.

Travel to the region's geothermal plant and route the power away from one of the locations.

The plant's master control terminal is reporting that three switches inside the plant must be flipped before the plant's power can be redirected.

You activated one of the switches needed to redirect power.

You activated a second switch in the geothermal plant.

All three switches have been activated. You should now be able to redirect the plant's power from the master control terminal.

Retrieve the Power Regulator

You diverted power from the Botanical Lab to Edgewater. The Botanical Lab is now without power. You should be able to salvage their power regulator now.

Return to the Unreliable

You have found a power regulator. Return to your ship.

Install the Power Regulator

In order to get the ship up and running, you just need to install the power regulator in the ship's engine room.

Speak With ADA

Now that the power regulator is installed, speak with ADA to pilot the Unreliable out of Emerald Vale.

Stranger In A Strange Land Ending

You retrieved the power regulator needed to fix the smuggler's ship, and are now able to travel to other parts of the Halcyon System.

Finishing Stranger In A Strange Land allows you to fly to the next location: Groundbreaker.
