Talk missions: Vitaliy's questline and the 锡纸帽
Some missions are not mailed to you. A character gives them when you talk to them in person. The only Talk questline with English text is Vitaliy's, in the Burning Grove. It ends with a way to craft the 锡纸帽.
The short version
- Talk to Vitaliy to start. He lies unconscious in the Burning Grove, which the mission 研发科(私有频道)：维度波动 unlocks.
- You hand items to him. Each request takes the listed items from you when you submit it. Item rewards wait with the character until you take them.
- Eight requests follow each other. The next one starts as soon as you finish the previous one, and you carry on by talking to Vitaliy again.
- Stabilizing Powder is the main cost. You hand over 16 packs across three requests.
- The last request teaches the 锡纸帽. Research it, then craft the hat from one 锡纸.
How Talk missions work
- Stand close to the character (within 9 game units) and talk. The mission is added to your list when the conversation reaches the point where the character asks for something.
- Items a request needs are handed over in the conversation window. Extra items you put there are given back.
- Money and follow-up missions arrive at once. Item rewards are taken from the character's reward list.
- A character with nothing for you says a random line from a short list. Traders also offer their shop.
Vitaliy's requests in order
| Step | Mission | You hand over | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 药物唤醒 | 1 稳定粉末 | The next request |
| 2 | 维塔利：从头收拾 | 1 光学显微镜, 5 生物质 | The next request |
| 3 | 维塔利：再次唤醒 | 5 Stabilizing Powder | The next request |
| 4 | 维塔利：设备维修 | 1 封装的研究设备, a package that lies near the train station in the Burning Grove (show on the map) | A 上锁的门的钥匙 before you start, then the next request |
| 5 | 维塔利：别再睡了 | 10 Stabilizing Powder | Both sample requests |
| 6a | 维塔利：真菌样本 | 1 孢子囊, 1 孢子腔, 1 菌刺 | Nothing directly |
| 6b | 维塔利：动物样本 | 1 恐怖山民的颅骨, 1 毛发, 10 菌丝包覆的人体组织, 5 变异的兽牙 | Nothing directly |

Steps 6a and 6b can be done in either order. Step 7 starts once both are finished.
Getting the 锡纸帽
- Finish 维塔利：帽子 to receive the instructions.
- Move the instructions to a research table; a research project for the hat then appears. Install the instructions on the table, which uses them up, then finish the project with 1 锡纸, which is also used up, to unlock the hat recipe.
- Craft the 锡纸帽 at a 基础工作台 from 1 锡纸.
