As of game version v1.10.5 using the pda readdata console command or updating the scenario files on a server may cause missions to be reset.
While using the pda readdata command is optional, not using it after a scenario update that needs an updated PDA will result in some missions or devices not being completable.
There is unfortunately no way to avoid this. You either update the PDA and risk resetting all missions and potentially breaking some, or you don't update the PDA and risk some missions not working and some newer devices not functioning.
An alternative method to update your save game's PDA is to copy the scenario's PDA files into your save game folder. This may or may not prevent all missions from being completely reset but it may still cause issues so is done at your own risk. back up your save games.
The other option for single player is using the pda console commands to reward the missions and then you can activate and complete them from the PDA.
pda help lists all the pda commands.
pda lschaps will give you a list of all PDA chapters along with their chapter ID (needed for other commands).
pda rwdchap x will reward chapter ID x and make it show up in the PDA so you can start it.
pda brief x will start chapter ID x.
pda msg x will show the chapter complete window for chapter ID x.
Note: these commands may not work as expected for all missions as some missions also rely on saved variables as part of their completion. For example you can still access the trader that you get from completing The Forge even if the PDA is reset.
