I finished all the story and upgrades pre base building.
I finished pt xray. Than i went to the emergency room, i dont think i skipped any cutscenes(was there a proper cutscene like with the elevator in 0.1?). But i only remember recordings. I went and got all the recordings and then it told me to come back to the pulse room, isnt this it?
Is this the issue from #🚩-known-issues ?

Hey that is definitely the Pulse room, the only requirement to get in is that you finish the freight elevator and then go back to Victor to get the signal to it. Have you gone back to Victor and gotten the signal?

#

It may have been a bit of an awkward flow for you since the voice lines at the end of the freight elevator have changed a bit but if your save was post freight elevator then you might not have gotten them

I also have this bug. The elevator cutscene happened pre version update. Is there more to do there now?

fossil trout
#

@fickle wasp i went to the freight elevator and to victor, tried clicking on panels, opening up menus, went into the elevator, and came back, sadly mo difference.
Btw.: The other door is weirldy also closed, see picture
What can i do?

I'm going to @shy crane, and ask that you send us your save!

#

oh wait

#

that's the door to enter the Paladin part of the Excalibur, I think, weird that its closed again, but what happens if you go to the back right?

#

the PULSE Room is if you go to the way back right

modern geyser
#

I had that to, what i had to do was unlock the door to the paladin part, weird because I thought mine was unlocked

#

maybe the update locked it again, not sure but thats how i fixed it

fossil trout
modern geyser
#

its definitely conditions not being met, as for what caused it, hard to say, thankfully i was able to get mine to open after two specific things, one unlocking the paladin door and two doing signal triangulation for the pulse room-i dont know if that part is necessary

fickle wasp
#

Can you try to fix the door and then go back to Victor to see if it gives you the signal to the PULSE room?

fossil trout
#

Any suggestions on how to fix the door? Ive run around a couple of times already

#

@fickle wasp

fickle wasp
#

can you no longer interact with it to give it resources?

#

only way I'd know to open the door to Paladin is with the resources

fossil trout
#

as you can see here it doesnt let me add stuff, i have both resources in my inventory, the also dont "light up", as they should. It says "fully upgraded"

#

inspecting the door only refers me to the panel

#

Shift clicking or dragging items, also doesnt work

#

@fickle wasp

fickle wasp
#

Hmm ok, can you send us your save? We will need to investigate this further with our dev tools, sorry you've run into this!

fossil trout
#

Of course! where do i find the file?

#

@fickle wasp can i add send you the files through a private message? They seem to have some kind of IDs and stuff, im not 100% sure if thats like super secure to just publish them here

fickle wasp
#

I dont think you have permissions to send me files, but I think you can send it to @shy crane !

fossil trout
#

Done, thanks for your help @fickle wasp !

#

We'll definitely have to take a look @fossil trout, but out of curiousity: Have you tried going into your Log (hit L) and seeing if you can replay the 0.1 cutscene? It should start with a line of "(E-FES ASCENT INITIATED - STANDBY)"

#

A long shot, but it might dislodge the conditions that caused it to close again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

#

Oh, and after you replay, try also going back to the area in front of PT Victor - that might help as well!

fossil trout
#

Sadly didnt help @south wind , but thanks for trying.

south wind
#

OK, I've got one more idea for you @fossil trout and then I'll leave it to the tech team and the save file you graciously sent us! This one is quicker... If you look again at your Log, see if you can find the line that you got when you picked up the signal to the PULSE Room initially. It should say "SIGNAL TRIANGULATED. NEW LOCATION ADDED TO HUD. UNDERTOW."

#

Play that line, let it finish, and then go to the locked PULSE Room (Emergency Pod) door.

#

And if you can't find that line as you scroll through your Log, please let me know that as well. That could be a key part of diagnosing this. Thank you so much again!

fossil trout
#

Found it, didnt work 😦 I was at victor when i triggered the line

#

@south wind

south wind
#

Darn. 😦 OK, appreciate it! We will have to take a look at the save. Apologies once again!

fossil trout
#

No worries, finding bugs is always so tough 🙂 Thanks for trying!
Do you think there will be a solution for my current save? or will i have to revert back? Unsure if i should continue playing on the current save
@south wind

south wind
#

I don't know for certain and I don't want to misguide you. 😅 It's possible that the game already believes the door has been opened, which could make things tricky. If you have a save that is right before you went to the PULSE Room and went on a biome-wide tour for all the TAP Wires, it might make sense to go back and continue having fun with your factory while we sort this out.

#

Where you were is right at the end of narrative content for the patch, so when we do get it sorted it'll be the last thing you need to do for now regardless. 🙂

fossil trout
#

I just checked, sadly i kinda went full on pt xray without a manual save or break (lol). so the only save before i went to the emergency room is a 0.1.2a save

south wind
#

Oh no! OK, I wouldn't revert that far, then - at least not until we can have a look at it.

#

We will do our best!

fossil trout
#

Hope it works out, ill wait then 🙂

south wind
#

But you may have offered up another good hint here regardless. You didn't save or load your game after opening it and going in initially? You opened it, went in, did all the initial stuff (with the reboot, and the scan of the initial wire on the table) , and then got all the TAP Wires and came back without loading a save? And the door had re-closed itself? Or did you save/load along the way?

modern geyser
# fossil trout

So your unable to open the paladin door, it's locked and you can't give it resources?

fossil trout
#
  1. Updated from 0.1.2a to 0.2.0f and started with "Continue", so im not sure which save file i took, but probably my manual save.
  2. Did tech tree stuff. Fixed all my filters^^
  3. Went to pt xray
  4. Got the emergency voice line and beacon to the emergency room at some point
  5. Built machines and finished pt xray
  6. Went to the emergency room, it was open, i went in there and got the story.
  7. Went to the first 2(3?) recordings and listened to them
  8. MANUAL SAVE
  9. Found all the other recordings. have other manual saves inbetween.
  10. went to the emergency room, it was closed as seen in the first picture.

The other door on the Excalibur (door to Paladin) being closed is also odd but shouldn't be related. And if it's maxed out you won't be able to do anything further with it regardless. It's a fair theory though, @modern geyser! Appreciate you trying to assist as well.

modern geyser
# fossil trout correct.

That is strange, what could cause the door to be locked like that🤔 because for me both doors are open and have access to them, so something triggered the door to close again

south wind
#

It's quite odd. We'll need to have the programmers take a closer look at it! Nothing else we can do for now, I'm afraid.

#

Hope you both enjoyed the TAP Wires you have been able to find and are digging all the other new content as well. 🙂

#

I gotta do my XRAY tiers this weekend, it's no joke...

modern geyser
shy crane
#

I'll make sure this gets looked at on Monday.

fossil trout
#

Ok i couldnt let this be obviously 😄

  1. I reloaded from my last manual 0.1.2a save in the current game version of 0.2.0f
  2. Got all the talk, got the beacon to pt xray
  3. Unlocked first stage of pt xray
  4. went back to base.
  5. Got the emergency voice line, went to victor for triangulation and got beacon to the emergency room
  6. went to the emergency room, door was UNLOCKED, but the door still said, "Escape pod Access denied" with voice line and sp and the door had the inspect button that said the same lol, even though the door was actually opened.
    Sidenote: the paladin door was closed again!!
  7. went in, did all the things in that room
  8. Went out of that room, wondered if the door was already in a "broken state", so i did a quick save and reloaded. Door was once again closed. And no way to open them

i would conclude that my 0.1 save state was already somehow "broken" or not in an expected state for the update. I already included my 0.1 save for rob so you guys should be able to reproduce it.

fickle wasp
#

Thank you! This actually is a strong suggestor of a theory we have for the cause if your 0.1 save was fine but the 0.1.2 save was not!

fossil trout
#

Eh sorry for the misguide, by 0.1 i meant 0.1.2a. let me rephrase parts of my text

fickle wasp
#

ahh gotcha, that's very interesting, yeah we will look on Monday for sure

modern geyser
fossil trout
#

Lets see what they find!

#

I too am having the issue where I continued a save that was maxed out at Victor when the base building update came out. I resumed gameplay after maxing out PT-XRAY and got to the point of the PULSE room. I was able to get into it and establish the location of all of the TAP Wire devices. I've collected them all and was instructed to take them back to the PULSE room, but the door is now shut and says "Escape Pod access denied, awaiting critical emergency" So far there has been no cut scene other than the gameplay audio from Sparks, Paladin, and the TAP Wire recordings...

#

we will definetely look into it next monday and will find a solution

modern geyser
#

good to here, i wonder what percentage of users this is happening to now, what do all of these save files have in common that is causing it I wonder, tried to reproduce it in my saves and so far nothing🤔

#

Wanted to put it out there I am also haveing this bug as well. On xbox x. Followed all the steps you all ladyed out but nothing worked.

#

Same here on the Steam Deck

plucky badge
#

and you both have tried going to an earlier save before the PULSE room cutscene?

south wind
#

We've got save files to analyze today from players affected by this! Will have an update for you all as soon as possible.

#

once we have an update on that issue above, we will make the full announce post 🙂

ashen lynx
#

Hey, can everyone that's playing on PC please send us the save files where the issue is happening? It would really help us narrow down the cause. if possible a save before entering the PULSE Room!@fossil trout If you wouldn't mind, can you please send us the file again? If yes you can send it directly to me!

errant ridge
#

Sounds good can't wait to finsh this bit of story up. It was interesting and had me hunting all the taps down. Keep up the good work.

south wind
#

Yes, we think we've got a good handle on it but we'd like to get saves from more of you to test against so we can ensure that this fix is as universal as possible! We really appreciate it, thanks!

#

Yes, 'cutscene' is a little ambiguous here because there's quite a bit of talking just when you go in - but when we are able to get that door open for you all and let you return with all the TAP Wires, there is a 'real' cutscene similar to the one at the Freight Elevator.

south wind
#

And thanks!

primal shuttle

#

can you not just upload them here? (actual question, you used to be able to!)

fossil trout
#

@plucky badge is there any kind of personal data or ID or similiar in the files that should be protected in the saves/logs? Thats the only reason i wanted to DM it

plucky badge
south wind
#

For the moment, @ashen lynx can you add @primal shuttle as a friend so he can DM you? And @fossil trout would that work for you as well?

plucky badge
#

hey y'all, we try not to have team members using DMs! Please upload your saves to this thread, and if you are concerned about privacy, delete after Leo downloads them. AFAIK, there is no private user info

#

For example, we tweeted out a save file for peopel to use earlier! And no personal data on that.

fossil trout
#

Aight, ill do that next time, for now leonardo has my save(s)

plucky badge
#

More of a "sticking to the rules" thing than anything else! Once you open up the DM floodgates, they're hard to close 🙂 haha

As far as I know you guys haven't enabled me to do my personal banking on Techtonica so I'm not worried about privacy 🤣 . I just didn't know if you wanted this thread filled with save files.

P.S. The update trashed a lot of my factory logistics with the tech tree refresh and a change to some of the items required to make other items so my save looks bare because I did a scorched earth treatment to all of my machines to start my factory over, but still have all of the tech tree unlocked and terminals maxed.

I’m having the same issue but I’m on Xbox

#

Also will I have to restart all of my progress or will there be a bug fix that fixes it

#

@south wind

south wind
#

We’re working on it! We hope to be able to let you continue on with your current saves - if you haven’t taken a shot at all the new PT XRAY tiers or messed around with base building parts yet, this would be a good time. 🙂

#

Basically, when you go back in the PULSE Room and get the final cutscene, that’s the end of narrative content for the patch. No need to worry that you’re missing out on something that holds up anything else!

limpid ibex
fossil trout
#

That seems like an unrelated error to this thread, maybe try making a seperete thread so the devs can analyse it better?

south wind
#

Agreed, and thanks! This is an important bug so let’s stick to that here. @limpid ibex please do post about your crashes / lag in #❎-tt-xbox though because I know that players are experiencing performance issues.

#

do you need save files that are bugged with the inaccessable pulse room? also......way over built and laggy AF lol

south wind
#

We’ve got a few but I don’t see why one more would hurt! Please toss it here, and thanks! And no worries on the lag. 😂

dont worry about the massive main buss.......its an illusion

fascinating i just loaded up Turbo's save, both the paladin door and the pulse room door are locked🤔

# plucky badge and you both have tried going to an earlier save before the PULSE room cutscene?

I went back to a save short before scanning the last TapWire (which is in german translated to the german "water-outlet-cable", but nevermind) and didn´t really got an cutscene like in the elevator. I got a message from the system that I have to go back to the pulse room and than the entry in the uper left corner of the hud disappears and when I go back to excalibur both doors alre closed.

plucky badge
#

gonna copy paste what i have in #🚩-known-issues !

#

We are aware of an issue affecting players with pre-0.2 save files which may prevent them from re-entering the PULSE Room after accessing it initially, or becoming trapped inside after entering. If you get trapped, go to the pause menu and hit 'RESPAWN' to escape!

If you weren't able to complete the PULSE room content, we are actively working on a fix, and we're hoping to have it out soon! But for now, you may need to start a fresh save to see the whole story.

Please note that if you've finished the PULSE Room, you are right at the end of narrative content for 0.2. If this issue is not blocking you off from any other content (base building, PT XRAY, etc.) in the game, keep building your factories and we'll let you know more ASAP!
