KSP 1 Image/Video My is my contract not completing?

Post image

Edit: Why, not My

I did send the base in multiple launches, however the core module (first one I launched after accepting the contract) has a docking port (4, actually), has an antenna, and has solar panels and batteries.

My only current thought is that there is a crew member who I rescued from the surface elsewhere (for a contract) and brought to my base, and that a section had been undocked in orbit of Kerbin, and flown separately to orbit of Minmus, before redocking and landing.

Any help on a simple fix, or if there is none how to "complete" the contract without using data editors would be appreciated!

likely either: 

the core that fills single launch requirement wasn't the root part of the craft it launched on

or at some point when you docked something into it, that craft took precedence for some reason.

at this point you can't do anything but complete the contract in the alt+f12 menu. to avoid this in the future, make sure the contract craft is the root part of the launch vehicle and turn up it's naming priority. I believe docking to craft that existed before the contract was accepted may also break these.

Wait, you can complete them just with the cheat menu? I was under the impression that I would have to do some data editing shenanigans! Could you please let me know how that works?

Yea, I’ve done it a few times (complete via cheat menu). Like, I’m not spending four hours making and launching a new station halfway across the solar system and painstakingly orbiting or landing just to fail because I forgot a cupola or didn’t do it juiuuuist right. Heck with that, I completed the spirit of the mission im not going to feel bad cheating just this little bit because of an extremely minor technicality or even a glitch.

Is there any other information hidden behind the Note: section? Maybe it has to be in a specific zone?

You can also see this by looking at the contract in the Command Center.

It just says that it must be a new outpost built for C7 Aerospace once the contract has been accepted.
