Some of the markers are actually under the target structure (brewery, delivery ship) so quest can only be completed by godmoding down into the block. Mission radius needs to be a bit larger and include vertical distances. This may be true for other quests as well which I haven't done. Also mission thread lead to "alien planet in this sector" but there are no alien planets in the same sector. I assume the text needs updating here as alien planets are likely to be elsewhere in the galaxy, not in the same sector.
I don't believe the quests have been updated to the new features of A12 yet. I didn't have a lava world or an alien world in my starting sector for this quest, so I didn't even get as far as you did.
All quests are mostly inactive (Steps must be activated manually). For example, the Talon quest, where you have to find an object (Titan or Old Tower), does not work. Devs have said that "Tasks will be rewritten soon" but these problems have existed throughout their existence. They have multiplayer with higher priorities, or at least it seems.
Same issue. Hadn't considered the mission, but was on smaller of two lava planets in my starting sector looking for Zascosium when I stumbled over the brewery. Since the brewery was available I returned to the starting planet and started the mission. I completed the mission up to going to the alien planet to realize my starting sector did not have an alien planet. Did get the Epic armor (still great armor, but not as good as it used to be), will have to manually complete to finish. Steve K.
Same as Steve K, did it but currently at the alien planet stage. Compared to last time however, no problems with each part of the mission triggering, did not need to godmode down into blocks or anything so working well. Quest dialogues also seemed to be triggered faster (no need for relog or hanging about near quest giver).
i do not have a lava planet in my system to go to, i have my starter planet a swamp, and a snow planet.
