I haven't tried the lab challenge yet but I guess if it just places you in a lab then you can't get out via the front door because keycard machine is on the other side (and you probably won't find a lab ID card in the lab).

You could possibly find a bionic to allow you to teleport or tunnel through wall, you could find a teleport trap and hope it teleports you out the right way, you could see if there are any floating eyes and try and get them to blast a path leading to the outside, you could try going to the lab entrance and hope there is a zombie hulk nearby who will smash an entrance for you.

You should also be able to simply amass enough strength yourself (through mutations and bionics), find yourself a good bashing weapon, and bash your own way out.

Also the game may just gen a new world and not find a lab to put you in, and then just ditch you somewhere in the wilds.

We patched teleporter taps out of the ground floor of labs for this specific reason :)

Technically, since the metal doors only have a lower end on their bash resistance of 30, if you ever manage to find an item where the bashing power of item + your STR = 30 you can get out if you have some patience by just bashing your way out of the locked metal doors.

Only a bash resistance of thirty?

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Considering labs contain tons of mutagens and bionics and occasionally has military level weapon caches lying around, it shouldn't be THAT hard to escape, assuming the RNG favours you.

Yeah only, (it's actually the exact same strength as the walls around it, looking now) some types of walls can have minimum bash ratings in the 100+ range, though most tend to fall into the "an average strength + sledgehammer can destroy this with patience" category.

Wait, you can destroy walls WITHOUT a jackhammer?  I thought walls were all indestructable except against explosives or stuff with the Kool Aid Man* flag.  Woo sledgehammers are NOT useless!

In the experimental at least. My bashing rework landed about 25 days back, filling in all the empty data that was preventing it before as well as doing a few things like cleaning up the old irremovable rubble fields.
