Thinking construct quest stuck even after getting final meeting

[Raine]

So I have done everything except Silena's quest and have spoken to Redbeard and gotten the final meeting quest. And still Silena won't advance the quest. I quit and went back to an earlier save & redid the Redbeard conversation where I get the final meeting quest again. She is same as ever. I have been to the site with her several times & have said I would help her. Why is this stuck? I don't want to go into the endgame without this, but it won't trigger, & I have researched & know it is supposed to trigger now (and it is my last chance). On a Mac, running Mohave 10.14.5, have not installed any cheats or messed with the program in any way.

This quest had some problems when I did it during beta testing, try;

 

Your quest is currently to just go check out the workshop at the Corruption Border. Do that.

Redbeard will have a conversation for you next time you talk to him.

Once that happens, when you emerge in Fort Foresight, Silena will talk to you.

Nevermind-- finally got it to work. I avoided an earlier conversation w Redbeard about the construct, & it never came up again. On about the 7th or 8th try to trigger this, he actually asked about it again. Apparently the quest won't happen without that conversation.

I guess avoiding giving uncomfortable answers to Redbeard is not a good idea.
