IXION Chapter 3 Walkthrough - Survive Storm - Chapter 3 Science Event Choices Tips Guide Tutorial

How to easily survive the storm in Chapter 3, followed by all the Science Ship event choices with results in Chapter 3.
The storm in chapter 3 has surprised many players, and has also been one of the major challenges in the game. In this guide I show you how you can easily manage the storm, what order to do things in, and what you should do to get the best results from the actions you need to take in chapter 3.
After this I also go through all the science ship event choices that you can do in chapter 3.
Since the Science Ship event choices are predetermined, and not randomised, I have made this guide for you in case you want to know what Event choices does what. This is both for players who are not interested in saving and reloading to explore these choices themselves, and for players who maybe don't remember what the various choices do in later playthroughs.

For the Zygot event, if you have automatic ship repatriation then you can get the ship back by venting Zygot into space. Actually there are a lot of events where the crew dies but you can get the ship back if you have that upgrade. In all cases, this also seems to cancel then -1 stability from losing a science ship. There are a few events where emergency cryopods is useful as well and it would seem that having this tech upgrade and losing the ship but triggering cryopods will also not trigger the -1.

[@Kalknight382]

Thank you for this guide.

[@eduardostancari7821]

For P-43, if you do the explosives path, you can pick 2 choices instead of one if you take the other (presumably, you waste more time getting there while the atmosphere is corroding the suits and ship, then lose "time" for an extra option). You only lose a crew member if you "Examine the Sphere" as it even mentions that "the [crew name] is creating a fascination with the sphere", the same crew will then try to jump onto the sphere when leaving. It is safe to do the two others options, getting 20 less science total. I really hoped the options about the sphere would give some/deeper lore about them.

[@TheSane42]

As the dog becomes a member of the crew you can find them listed in one of your residential buildings. Note that this means the dog can die (eg, starvation), losing the +1 stability.

[@BigTi.]

Would the name just be 'dog' cause I didn't find him

[@TheSane42]

@@BigTi. yup. Just "dog". If you are checking immediately after the science event it might not show yet, there's a second event in sector that occurs shortly after where you can officially recognise it as a crew member. I don't know for sure, but this event probably triggers on the house the dog is in.

[@BigTi.]

@@TheSane42 yea yea got him like 300 cycles ago, just need to find him now

[@TheSane42]

@@BigTi. Welp. Good luck.

[@virgilromero3252]

I was wondering where mine was, found it in my sector one residential. Glad I got the dog too

[@elenazlatareva9420]

Very useful walkthrough! Thank you!

[@MagralhoPT]

Thanks for this! Sadly I spent about 3h yesterday running though ALL these options myself to find the best choices. maybe I can use Ch4 next time. Nevertheless! thank you very much for putting the effort for the community!

[@Caledorn]

Sorry it took me so long! It was kind of a nightmare to do. But I have some methods now that makes it much faster, so I should have Chapter 4 within a few days, I hope. Thank you, as always, for the very nice feedback! I appreciate it greatly!

[@TheSane42]

Also, the number of crew killed by letting ZY6073 dock to the Tiqqun (and making the crew deal with it) depends on the number of crew manning the dock at the time. So, if you have the intense working hours policy active then you lose 9, if you have supported working hours you lose more.

[@JDPlays]

Arr that explains why my losses were lower in testing between myself and Caledorn

[@amateurishauthor2202]

that makes a lot of sense.... I lost 12 with regular working policy and optimal working conditions.

[@roycebracket714]

Surprisingly little information on this game, thanks for it

[@reddawn7128]

Thank you cant wait for more great video

[@Knots_]

P-43 must have been updated as well. When I did: Explosives > Examine the sphere I did not lose any crew. The text did say one of the crew was developing a strange fascination with the sphere though.

[@opticalduck2587]

Thank you for your device in doing these event chains 😊

[@Caledorn]

You're very welcome! I am enjoying making these guides!

[@Neveris]

Thank you soo much.

[@GorgieGus]

Outstanding work.. thanks big time

[@Caledorn]

Glad you liked it!😀

[@NyronGT]

In all honesty, i fully expected that storm to be a reocurring hazard where it would shift across the map back and forth. I was disappointed after realizing the storm was a one-time danger.

[@olusegunmaximus2241]

LOL!!! That would be insane! Space is limitless. In theory even if the storm went back and forth, there is a very unlikely chance it will come back along the exact same longitudinal path as though it where a storm contained within a sphere (earth)?

[@cupidstunt8136]

im fascinated how you built a cargo fleet so large. I was struggling to balance the shortage of polymer with the need for more solar panels with limited space for docking bays

[@olusegunmaximus2241]

Nah! This game is amazing. I got to chapter 4 and had to go back and restart chapter 3. Don't forget storage is key guys! Also if you can make the Tiqqun self sufficient for certain resources, like Alloy, food and power generation. (Don't rely to much on solar incase you need to up and leave the system asap) 😅

[@wayne9903]

have one ? mark left in the technology tree just underneath the Parenesi - is it in the solar system? cant find any more locations

[@jeromechan4076]

Ah Zygote basically its a short film by Neill Blomkamp. Its quite a good hook for a short film.

[@amateurishauthor2202]

The Cult of the Hull appears in this chapter, the moment it starts, what are the pros and cons of embracing/rejecting them? I never noticed anything when I embraced them (other than the wall piece only working when the cult is present)

[@Caledorn]

I have absolutely no idea, and have been wondering that too. Like, I embraced them, but haven't built any temples. Why are they not complaining? I'm not sure if something happens in Chapter 5, or if it affects the ending or something, but .. I'm as clueless as you are on this one, and would love some enlightenment too.

[@amateurishauthor2202]

@@Caledorn In my first playthrough I never built any temples, except for 1 when I was about to end the game (as I wanted to see it) and I actually forgot the cult existed, I bet you get negative events for rejecting them?

[@jamesrollins2640]

I have tried to do like the food and others but will not let me leave by the X I have to leave by the options and other than the destroyed command center it always triggers the storm

[@jamesrollins2640]

ok It must have been a bug. I restarted game and loaded last save and now it only moved a little instead of the storm triggering the last move

[@InLikeTech]

@CALEDORN. Please pin or post in your video's description a very important point for the COMPLETIONISTS!!! [Save your game before selecting any science paths. In some cases, each science path will UNLOCK a special ACHIEVEMENT. (eg. P-38 yields "WHAT THEY HIDE FROM US" from "Bore Through the Mountian" science path.) We have to go through ALL the different science paths to get %100 Achievement!]

[@falkenherz1708]

Concerning the Meier Bacteria, one scientist will survive if you have cryopods researched. You can collect the cryopod then and get a follow up event. I don´t remember the exact outcome, sorry.

[@Caledorn]

Thank you!

[@reynermontero1067]

There is something I don`t get yet: When leaving an event what happens? the storm gets bigger? and then what? the ships gets destroyed? What about Cruc-p-42? Is it left undone?

[@olusegunmaximus2241]

Yes, leaving the event in either P-42 or P-38 triggers the movement of the storm. So you need to be ready to move the Tiqqun in the opposite direction.

[@reynermontero1067]

@@olusegunmaximus2241 ok so the storm does not move if a finish any other event? only P42 and P38 I have my science ships in other events but I have not move them yet.

[@olusegunmaximus2241]

@@reynermontero1067 Leaving either P-42 or P-38 will trigger the movement of the storm. So make sure Tiqqun is parked close to either one when you're ready to retrieve your science ship. Once you do this for either planet the storm will move so be ready to move the tiqqun in the opposite direction.

@@olusegunmaximus2241 Yes I already saw what happens I lost cargo ships what a hard level

Hello @Caledorn, I was wondering. I wanted to dismantle an EVA airlock and its stuck on 3 alloys remaining. Is this a bug? It's just there refusing to dismantle.
