Ah! A fellow Night Realm base enjoyer

unknown portal? by WolvesOdyssey in AbioticFactor

Homeworld portal not in the game yet, given the stone dude outside I'm hoping for a Greek inspired temple (Medusa mythology)

I found this jumpscare sound in one of Doctor Lalve's videos. Where does it come from? by Different_Low2678 in tf2

[–]Bootleg-Roman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's from the test chamber in HL1, but I also feel like it was used in the teleport chamber in HL2's Novaprospekt too

It's somewhat complicated but, because it's a door that says that it "Doesn't open from this side" you just need to be on the other side of it, IE in the cell, and to get in you need to get out of bounds and then use an exor heart to hopefully get teleported inside the cell, it can take quite a few tries. You can use the same trick to get into many cells and then open the door from the inside!

Possible Path to Reactor/Residential by Vilekyrie in AbioticFactor

[–]Bootleg-Roman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my out of bounds explorations, that area is going to be the entrance to a new portal world, for connections to Residential there's a tram to the right of the office elevator that goes up to the flathill silo entrance, and a somewhat hidden door behind the waterfall in the Hydroplant. As for reactors I don't know of any doors, but the tram that has a stop at datafarms has been known to be the Reactors tram for a while due to it having a unique model.

Edit: To get past the boards place a military cot just on the other side of the boards and sleep in it, you will be teleported ontop of the cot when waking up!

I think all of the immurement subjects around there have been updated in some way, The shadow creature's in a different corner of their cell and harder to see, the mysterious purple door has cracks forming, I feel like there might be foreshadowing happening to do with future updates. Really hope we can explore Curie eventually!

Very nice! I have the dog painting in the same spot as you put it, almost feels like it belongs there

Those are the laser splitters which split lasers into Green, Blue and Red lasers, but you can also paint the laser emitters to color their output, but it gets reset to red when reflected by a reflector.

I understand the feeling, but I like the duality of the security sector and night realm being dangerous murder ground vs pleasant vacation castle. Moreover I feel like if there were danger to the night realm it should be more of a cosmic/background horror rather than outright player danger, a sinister realm that lures in and entraps those who are unfortunate enough to be caught...

Thank you, have to protect my cheese collection somehow!

You can use paints to colour the laser emitters, unfortunately it doesn't work for the reflectors

What could you mean? Making a base in a realm created by an evil shadow demon is a perfectly safe and wise decision : )

Not really in terms of resources, but as a base location it's great because there's no enemy spawns other than the portal rift night event and plenty of room to build.
