Blackrock Maintenance - open only during aurora?

[vlgligor]

I found the code, waited almost a (in-game) week for an aurora, I entered and then exit to see if elevators are working during aurora (no luck, though). Following day I tried to enter the workshop to make some ammunition and the door is locked again. Is this a bug or a "feature"? Is it supposed to be accessible only during aurora? What if you get locked inside?

Thanks!

That's odd. I would have expected the behavior to be the same as BI - once you open the workshop during the aurora, it remains open forever. What you experienced sounds more like a bug.

A short update to this topic: I managed to open it again (after just 3 nights of waiting) and this time I started manufacturing gunpowder and noisemakers. Next day the doors started to open normally, without an aurora.

My guess is that if I did not interact with anything indoor the workshop (I just entered and had a look around, rushing afterwards to elevators), it did not trigger the door as being opened. So probably a bug.

Thanks for the update.

I had no problem open the door.

However once you are inside, do not put axes, saw, knives on the floor or they will disappear.  They still exist, just on a level beneath the floor.

The tools can be recovered in spite of their invisibility.  You just have to search around a blank floor with your cursor.

Thanks! That's useful information that could save me a lot of frustration as I intend to start playing again after a short break and intend to explore the new region
