Hello. Not sure where might be a better place to put this. On my permadeath save when I try to get a second settlement (an autophage one specifically) it doesn’t give me the “build you office” type of mission. It’s automatically going into “your settlers are coming up with something” type of mission, but the timer isn’t counting down. Pretty much it’s stuck. I’ve tried with a couple different autophage settlements, same story. I also tried on my normal save and it worked fine there.
I finally found a settlement and it is not giving me the build your office mission either.
It is going straight to manage the settlement, but I have no office…
zendesking it.

Have you had an invitation from the Autophage? As I read the notes so far available, there’s supposed to be a specific trigger for Autophage settlements. If you haven’t had it yet (I know I haven’t), then it’s likely the full Autophage settlement sequence hasn’t launched yet.

I did…but I quit that settlement because it was on an aggressive sentinel planet.
So if I have to wait for another then that means I don’t get to choose which settlement. I will have to take what I can get …

@Polyphemus This happens if you’ve completed their main questline, you can get an autophage settlement before completing their phase and getting the invitation by buying a autophage settlement chart from their voidmote terminals.
So this shouldn’t happen regardless of method, but it could be a bug tied to this.
Seems like a bug effecting certain saves that might have certain things done, active or in possession of if it’s effecting their permadeath save, not their normal save, but sheral also is having this issue with a normal save so it’s nothing to do with game mode. Do you have any custom settings on your normal play through @sheralmyst ? Perhaps it’s one of the custom game mode sliders that’s also altered in permadeath that is causing weird progress tracking issues?
How many settlements did you have before adding the autophage settlement?
My experience so far has been bug free on ps5. I followed the invitation quest line, didn’t like the location, accepted the job then immediately quit my station before building any overseer office.
I bought a chart with motes, went to a new system and found a new autophage settlement, was able to build the overseer office, did not experience same issue as you two.
Hopefully will be patched soon or has an in-game work around discovered, seems common enough that it will be top of the pile of things to address

I saw something in the patch notes about Autophage settlements
- Autophage settlements always start with a specialist feature to decrease Sentinel attention.
sounds like more no mans LIES to me XD

I believe that refers to the regular sentinel attacks that all settlements experience
But I was sent to one on an aggressive sentinel planet. As soon as they spotted me, it started the normal wave after wave of sentinels.

i ran into the same issue as the op. i ended up trying elsewhere. It only happens with autophauge settlements. also, make sure all the buildings in the settlement has an upgrade terminal. The first autophauge settlement I claimed had a building that was missing one and I was not able to progress. Had to retire from it and start again elsewhere.
