Problematic Moxie and Moxie 2.0?

[Veristek]

Hey all.

I got the "Problematic Moxie" event, and then looked it up on the Wiki. It says it can lead to Moxie 2.0 tech research, but it doesn't say which of the 3 options can lead to it, and how long I have to wait.

Option 1: Bypass filters but get maintainence more often.
Option 2: Moxie offline for 24 hours to repair.
Option 3: Immediate repair for polymer cost, need to be Inventor.

My commander is Inventor, so I can pick any of the 3 options. Then I put game on high speed for about 15 sols until next dust storm hits, but the event doesn't progress or give Moxie 2.0 that the wiki implies should happen.

I have had no luck finding the answer on Google. Does anyone here know how to trigger Moxie 2.0 from this event, assuming the Wiki is correct in saying Problematic Moxie leads to the Moxie 2.0 tech.

I believe it's the second one. The point is to find a long lasting solution to the problem, not an immediate but flawed one. And you don't need to be Inventor for it.

The wiki lists it as such:

1. Cope with problem until next disaster
2. Research Moxie 2.0

I have a save with the "Problemtaic Moxie" event up and available to select options. I picked 1st option, then waited 15 sols for next dust storm, then dust storm ends and no new event or progression. I load up save, then select option 2, then wait 15 sols for that 2nd dust storm, dust storm ends, no new event or prompt to research Moxie 2.0.

So how long do I actually have to wait for the Moxie 2.0 event to pop up after selecting whichever option in the initial Problemtaic Moxie event? The wiki seems to be wrong with "deal with it until next disaster" part.

Looks like any of the options will enable it, do you have your domes opened yet or a cold wave happen?

The map I'm playing on (0N, 123E) has no cold waves. It has Dust Devils at threat 2, Dust Storms at threat 3, and Meteor Showers at "Armageddon MAX" threat. My domes are still closed. I am at Sol 106 with the current terraforming parameters:

Atmosphere = 10%
Temperature = 94.82%
Water = 37.54%
Vegetation = 25.3%

Only mod I have and use is ECM. What do I have to do to trigger the next stage? Or do I have to somehow trigger it manually with ECM?

If you don't have your domes open or a cold wave then it won't happen, but if you have ecm then you can start a cold wave and stop it, that should trigger the next bit.

I am sure I encountered this event on a map without cold waves and at a stage where open dome was still not possible. And I got Moxie 2.0 after some time.

I'm going by the storybit, but I could be wrong.
