[Backer 0.9.154 Windows] Still can't match with Lithium Flower on ExtraMeet

[Kamo086]

It's been a recurring problem with this save for quite a while, I heard it got fixed but it never worked for me. Can I even advance Paulette's new quest without the encounter?
Please, take a look at this save, I can't be the only one having this problem.

I never knew Lithium Flower was on ExtraMeet, so I can confidently say that's not necessary for Paulette's quest at any point.

IIRC, if you exhausted the Dhaal Extrameet options before encountering Lithium Flower, it might not appear until they reset in a month.

It appears, only the match never happens. You can check in the save.

Looking at your save file, I might have found the issue. If you recall, after landing on Dhaal, there was a scene where you meet the Lithium Flower. No matter your choice, a timestamp should have been set which would allow you to match after 48 hours from that event. In your save, that timestamp wasn't set, so I assume it might have been content that wasn't implemented at the time or possibly something else, but it doesn't appear to be a bug outright.

Luckily, you can revisit this scene from the Mindwash Visor (because you have the key item "Lithium Flower Virtual Reality Program"--you can visit Luca on Canadia or get a machine for your ship) and it should set the timestamp if it wasn't already set--again, you'll have to wait out the two days until matching with her will become a possibility.

Thx man, you saved my life. I really don't remember meeting her as soon as I landed on Dhaal, but alas this save is very old.

 

[Jacques00]

No problem. Do note that the matching is only a one-time event, so after you see it, I don't think you will be able to get the match again--unless I'm mistaken, but it does seem that the Lithium Flower is supposed to be a unique encounter overall.

The meetup is one-time, but you can just go to her apartment any time afterward.

Hey man, tried reviewing the scene with the Mindwash Visor, waited more than 48 hours, and her profile appears but I still can't match with her. Was it not enough to set the timestamp. There's a code to set it manually? Can you do it for me, please?

Check
LITH_FLOWER_XTRA_UNLOCK

If it has a number, it's been set. If not, I suggest using start-5's Save Editor. The number shouldn't matter, so long as it's lower than 1440*(Days Passed-2)
I think there's a scene with Paulette you have to view before you can match, too.

Here is what I did:

1. Load your save.
2. Wait/Sleep the 40-ish hours you have left.
3. Fly to Dhaal. (Note: Because your character will automatically leave the ship, you'll have to return to the spaceport tarmac and re-enter your ship.)
4. Upon re-entering the ship, a scene where Paulette brings up the topic of ExtraMeet may appear. This should be the scene that unlocks the connection for swiping on ExtraMeet.
5. Open up ExtraMeet in the codex and start searching and swiping.
6. When you get to the Lithium Flower, the swipe-right match should trigger if you meet all the prerequisites.

You can probably fly first, re-enter, and then wait; but just make sure your character is in the ship and Paulette is in the crew so the scene plays. Hopefully this helps.

I've also made some edits for the next release that adds a Paulette encounter log, which should reveal some of the waiting times (if they are still counting). I'll see about adding hints to the prerequisites when the swipe matching fails, if I can get that to work.
