#Wharf Will Not Unlock

I have seen many threads about the wharf not unlocking once you craft the canons and have tried the following.

  1. Shipyard has a roof. Crafted Cannons... many many of them
  2. Destroying everything, rebuilt the whole base
  3. Close game, Verify file integrety, restart, relaunch nothing
  4. restarted the whole save. cleared out all save files, started game over, progressed back to that point, go back to base, create a shipyard, craft a canon, and still no wharf in build menu.
  5. talked to dr over and over again.

I am aware the wharf is at the top in utilities where the bell is. It simply does not unlock with progression.

hello!

if you are using modes they could interfere with progression and ruin unlocks.

please send screenshots of the building menu and canonns in your inventory, thank you

I uninstalled, wiped all app data, turn off cloud save, restarted computer, reinstalled then I restarted again and did the bare minimum to get to the same place and it worked.

I didn't do any side quests, I barely built, I didn't level really or use talent points. No upgrades or looting ruins or anything. I doubt that helps much but that's what it took

do you have any mods installed?

can you please send screenshots of the building menu and inventory with cannons please.

I would also need you logs for investigation

I have the same thing, I use a different character for multiple servers, because I don't like bringing loot from one play-through to another but whenever I get to the point where the wharf should appear on my build menu it does not.

I do tend to fast travel to my home island rather than sail home but I cannot imagine that would affect the unlock of an important utility station.

(And I didn't see the mention of it fixed in the patch notes) - Edit

no, i was unaware of mods before joining the discord. I'm using Steam client and it occurs on a solo play before i joined any co-op too

have you played with someone else?

scarlet hedge
#

yes, i am playing on a server, and they have access to the wharf

#

not being able to built it myself is my concern
