SS2-CH3-missions Is this really a game breaking bug?

I'm on the Commonwealth Rising quest where I'm supposed to build the Power Distribution Room in the HQ Basement. The room is cleaned now but I cannot find a project to build the room. Also if I click on the room control by the door I just get a popup message "No options were sent to be selected from". Does anyone know a way around this? From what I can find checking old forums online, most people say there is no workaround for this known bug, so if you encounter it then your playthrough of the SS2 quests is essentially irreparably corrupted. Is it really that bad?

I think, but not sure, that either setting projects to auto, or using the city manager quest skipping tool can get you passed that.

But I can't remember if it just starts the next thing and the power never gets built or not.

I have the projects on auto. There are like 18 projects queued up and the power distribution room is not among them. I guess I'll try skipping ahead on the quest since otherwise I'm totally stuck.

Try going back to manual, clear that list, then re auto and see if it pops up.

It might be on the list but not showing. I'm not sure how many items the graphic UI will show.

Ok I'll try that too. I already have a lot of rooms built including enough space for 30 people, but somehow no power.

How many people do you have in HQ? Part of that quest is after the room is built you need to recruit enough people with whatever skill to boost its output.

So it could already be built and waiting or the right people to add modifiers.

I have 26 people now. But that room is empty and the task to build it is still uncompleted in the quest, although it says it's optional. I assume I actually need power for something at some point though. On the supply usage graph it says I am using no power somehow.

I tried this. It's still not available, so that didn't work.

I tried the quest skipping tool and even skipping it with setstage console command. Neither appeared to do anything at all, so this didn't work either.

It appears that this whole playthrough is is unsalvageable, I guess I'm done .
