Like the title says, this post may contain spoilers, so if you haven't played/finished Fallout 2 and you plan to, I'd recommend you don't read past this point.

So, moving on to the actual problem. I'm at the Enclave oil rig, and I'm trying to blow it up. Earlier on, I had convinced a doctor to release FEV into the air vents, and the guy you can convince to blow up the nuclear reactor won't talk to me because of it. I don't have any explosives on me, and I can't manage to get any because I can't get back through the trap room and the door with the stairs that lead back up to the barracks won't open. What do I do?

My memory is a bit sketchy, but...
Can't you use science where the scientist is? Like use the panel he'd use? Also, what about the rooms to the sides of the trap room (the sorta locker rooms)? Nothing like explosives there? And wasn't there like a use for the card the president has related to this? Also, if you wanted to use explosives, then maybe just attacking the thing you were trying to blow up will work. I seem to recall that whatever it is you do, it's gonna trigger a countdown or something.

Most of that is right, but I've checked and there's no explosives in the side rooms of the puzzle floor. I've also tried using science on the consoles, but I guess I could give it a go again. Not sure what the presidential keycard would have to do with this. I've checked the wiki, and it looks like all it does is activate some turrets to fight Frank Horrigan with you.

Huh. Not really sure, then. Revert to an earlier save (before the FEV was released)? Or use a save editor to give yourself some dynamite? I can't really think of anything else. Although it strikes me as odd that the Enclave wouldn't have any explosives.

[ShoesandHats]

No, they have explosives in the barracks. It's just that I can't get back into the barracks.

1 - Search the places availble to you for explosives.
2 - Try using sience on the console.
3 - Try using repair on the console.
4 - Try shooting the console.
5 - Try editing your save.
6 - You probably know the ending anyway so give up/start from scratch because you completed the game.
