    Should I provide a savegame? I guess I have some backups for that period.

    No, savegame would not help I am afraid. I will try to reproduce with the steps given as soon as I have time. :)

    To save your time a lil bit.
    I actually did not happen to have this backup, but somewhere close. Here is the vid approaching pirate base and doing the steps. Step 3 starts at 4:00 respawn at 4:45. So, yeah, reproducible :cool:
    Yet I guess you'll have to reproduce it to see the triggers and other technical details.

    In your video, if you go back and carefully watch from about 4:09 to 4:21, when you threatened the pirate the sound of you acquiring an item is heard. After leaving dialogue, the video shows he gave you the recipe. This is what normally happens when you threaten them. Your mission was already set to return to the Distillery before the pirated killed you.

    You are right, it's given on dialog exit.
    Yet is it supposed to be like that? I would expect it to be spawned in some container deep in the base so that you actually have to fight you way through.

    Giving it to you with just a threat is probably a separate question. You can also threaten the first pirate near the entrance, get it that way, and then not have to fight anyone at all other than 2 cyborgs and a turret on the way out.

    Thx for the video. Yes, made it clear that what happened is actually intentional - so not a bug. You get the recipe by threatening the pirate. Need to add some more fighting when that happens, though. :D

    Another thing that bothers me, is the texting of this quest:
    I was expecting to go to the drop location after I either pay or threaten. Some distant asteroid probably?
