The NPC wouldn't show up in the anomaly station, I had to join a friend's room to make any progress.

I got the 'collect 380 cristalized helium' phase and it glitched out when I got them all, into some kind of infinite flickering. A friend gave me the item I would have to make once the quest finished, but once again I got stuck because I didn't get the purple hyperdrive (can't fabricate the tech), so I can't explore purple systems.

This update is a giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess.
