I recently completed a visit to an ice lab with the temperature going as low as -88°C and what I assumed to be the staircase to the final floor seemed to be a trap as when I went up to leave the floor, it was into and past a puddle of water. Which I could dive into. I assume this has to do with limitation in the water code. It was a room with another pulped human corpse in a containment room. If I didn’t have probability travel I would have been in a pickle and joined the poor sap.

I am not sure if it is a bug, intended or I missed the proper staircase

And while writing this how is there only one corpse in that isolation room and how was it pulped. I can only assume the facility had catastrophic temperature failure as the person was in not in appropriate gear and a little further on has cells with captured experiment victims?

It could all just be coding things that I am being pendantic over. So please take it as me personally trying to figure out a story to a situation

I could provide pictures later, or a save but is an older version of experimental.

The save will be a problem as it is too big for me to reasonably upload with my current data limitations ( 606 Mb)

The world name is Corrigan, default world settings

Lab co-ordinates 0’136, 0’20

Updated: Any staircase down to the final level and trying to get up again seems to lead to this quantum tunnel trap.

    Unfortunately those old school labs are kinda legacy content on their way out. They are hard coded in C++ instead of using our modern map making systems so a lot of their content isn’t super cohesive.

    There are a few more modern facilities that may provide more joy / excitement though 😁

      A modernized cold lab would be cool. Rather than the temp just dropping, it could have unexplained blasts of colder than arctic wind. Jets of liquified air filling the room with mist and deadly ice.

      Thanks for confirmation, just added the pictures as I wanted to follow through on providing the information.

      I think I found one of the special labs already, in the lemmy cdda instance I wrote about it - do not want to write spoilers but it was in one of those subway labs and required a 5-point anchor (at least warned to have it on after a point) and didn’t dare to explore questionable tiles without it on.

      And I just need to be in the right frame of mind to do TCL, I am probably geared enough, but have a couple of projects and objectives I want to complete first.

    Yup, misaligned stairs are a known basically unfixable bug you have to live with in the old labs, until they get removed completely.
