LCS: power plant has no "button"
« on: February 03, 2010, 08:11:41 pm »

I cannot see a power generator in Nuclear Power plant, and my science is maxed (7.0). What else can prevent me from seing this object?

You don't need skill to see the button at all, just to press it.

Do you have a sleeper at the site or have you acquired a map through interrogation?  If you haven't, you might want to give that a try.  It could be the site is inaccessible (which I believe has happened to other people).

No, I just ran around the place, looking for stuff... I thought it's normally visible. I will try sleepers, thanks. Should I make them "snooping around"?

Just having a sleeper reveals the map, they don't need to be doing anything.

Just having a sleeper reveals the map, they don't need to be doing anything.

To elaborate on this, having a sleeper gives you the whole map when you hit the "M" key.

The big red button is not invisible, you just have to find out where it is (and that is where the map comes into play).

And like Trorbes said, the sleeper doesn't have to be given a job.

Sometimes, you can find things hiding behind a door... just so you know...

The problem is I was to the nuclear plant ~ 20 times, killed there lots of people and definitely the map is opened. Still no "!" or any sign of the button... *Sigh*

So you opened all the doors on the map?  Eh... guess its some sort of bug then?

I wouldn't rule the possibility of a bug out. But try getting a sleeper and checking the map first.

I am dead in that game so I cannot post it :(. I thought it's a "feature", like inability to see the button unless I spend more sleepers on uncovering secrets... If I get something like this again, I will send you my save.

I think if you attack the site hard enough to close it down, when it reopens the action site map will be regenerated, if the original did not place a button on the floorplan before.

Thanks, I will try it next time.

Also I've found another bug: my only player is arrested and sentenced to 10 life terms :P. The problem is, the game does not end. I'm stuck at "Monthly Action Report" screen which is not closed by "any key".

P.S. Heh... It looks like it made me to click over all the months of 10 life time sentences ;D. There should be some check if it's a "game over" already to avoid this :D.

Ah, but in some cases you might have swung the country around enough that the country turns Elite Liberal and you win the game before your leader dies in prison.

Well, let me see the menus then :D  I don't like to be stuck at a totally uninformative screen ;).

Just some feedback.
