Thank you for your reply.
I tried your save:
and I tried the other save where I redid everything from scratch to be sure.
So I believe something else's going on. I also installed the patch, but I recon that won't affect it unless I go talk to Ella.
If items are present for you there, at that spot, then there is another issue for me.
The skip patch works if I skip through Ella however, so that bit works, but, I want to finish the floor repair.
Since I had no issue on previous versions, and never imported arrival saves before, the only thing I found odd in arrival, was a pile of wood in Melissa's bedroom, that could not be interacted with. As it is not there. The cup of tea on the table in the first floor is gone as well, and the table was salvageable, so it could be that as well maybe.
If you can not find a solution, could you add a dialogue with Emma to move the quest successfully one notch maybe?
*edit* for now I just edited the save to give myself 2 scrap woods, and fixed one hole, with the OP fix, that allowed me to proceed normally. I'll see if it causes any issues, but I recon that will work. My suggestion would be to lower the requirements by 2 holes maybe? So whatever issue is causing it should disappear.
I played the arrival, and did absolutely everything, and found everything as well.
For the futa, I'll play until it's there, and I'll see how bad it is, I usually add games on ignore as soon as there's futa/trans, since I'm totally against it. I may do an exception for this game, since I can not understand what you meant in your previous post.
*edit edit* : I completed the floor repair and extermination quest fine. But now, Ella won't let me leave saying there's only the two of us, while I can see my party has all 3 maids in it. No option to change the party, and all the maids have been talked to. I suspect the op fix for the previous block at the gate broke this one. I have overwrote the map001 with the original one, and it proceeds, so your fix breaks the game further down the line
