Sign of the locus shroud is still bugged after all these years

[Kingman]

I remember it being there from the very beginning the coven was added several versions back and yet its still not fixed. This situation is stuck in my situation log

I think that happens when you've gotten all possible events from it and exists to keep you from asking for more premonitions

then there should be a dialogue added that says that. or the coven should say "sorry, can't do that, stop being greedy", like the curators and the artisans do.

Did they tell you that the Shroud was silent or something to that effect?

No. The event is just stuck at 0 of progress for almost 100 years.

Bugged is totally possible with this game but also possible that it is working as intended and not communicating what needs to be done clearly. In this case, i believe the locus requires certain things (that i don’t normally do so i’m not positive here without looking it up) such as cooperative diplomatic stance or open border or some such. If you make decisions contrary to what the shroud wants, the situation won’t progress

Oh, I was thinking of when they tell you the shroud is silent or something like that and the situation maxes out and sits at 100 forever

Can you share all the decisions necessary to progress the situation?

I will try it!

If this is the case then indeed its more a communication issue and not a bug per se

According to the wiki... Base monthly progress for either Sign of Visitor or Locus are +2 per month.

Locus gets +2 from Cooperative Diplomatic Stance, Proactive first contact, and Open Border policy, and -2 with Isolationist Diplomatic Stance, Cautious first contact, and Closed Border policy.

Visitor gets +2 from Cooperative Diplomatic Stance, Proactive first contact, 3 or more envoys improving relations, and no mutual rivalries, and -2 with Isolationist Diplomatic Stance, Aggressive first contact, 3 or more envoys harming relations, and any number of mutual rivalries.

This can take the situation progress down to 0. Basically, if you're playing a warlike or isolationist empire, it's not surprising that you wouldn't be progressing.

I've seen the situation bug at 102/100 progress a lot, even with outcomes left to trigger. I get a refund from the Witches and then it never ends, so I can never take another divination.

Highpriest covered the factors but do share with the class if that helped or not! Even if its a bug that might not get fixed, at least we’ll get more clues as to whether we should bother with the divinations or not

 

[Kingman]

It indeed did work. I guess if you play xenophobic spiritualist the necessary policy arrangements are harder to come by as part of a normal play and the communication in the situation isnt the best to convey that

So not really a bug after all... but clearly the communication side could be better.

Now I need to wait 10 years to revert the policies lol
