Red Tape Blues

Red Tape Blues is a mission you can find and complete in Starfield.

Red Tape Blues overview

Red Tape Blues is a Starfield Miscellaneous quest. Like all other Starfield missions, you can find the full details of Red Tape Blues in your mission log, and you can easily find your next objective location by following the quest marker, or by entering the scanner mode and following Starfield’s breadcrumb trail.

Red Tape Blues is preceded by no particular mission, and followed by Red Tape Runaround.

A mining boss at Cydonia is having issues replacing his equipment. The higher-ups are only willing to replace the aging and failing equipment if the mining crew can prove they can exceed their mining quota. Trevor wants you to do some mining and bring him the goods to boost their mining quota, but without a paper trail.

You can begin Red Tape Blues by interacting with Trevor Petyarre.

Red Tape Blues objectives

Most Starfield missions consist of several objectives that you must complete to advance the quest. As you complete each objective, your journal will be updated with the next objective.

Red Tape Blues mission console commands

If you just want to start the Red Tape Blues mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:

startquest 00237490

Be warned that attempting to start a quest that requires specific triggers or hidden markers can result in game instability, so it is recommended you save your game before trying any commands. If however you are encountering a Starfield bug that prevents the mission from advancing, you might want to try the following:

resetquest 00237490

The above command will completely reset a quest (make sure you save your game beforehand in case it causes a crash to desktop). It also has the potential to prevent that quest from ever completing, meaning you’ll need to use the completequest 00237490 command to progress.
