Elevators Not Working on First Map...
Denny Crane here. I was about to go into the mine for the first time, but I hadn't obtained the map for it. I went back to obtain it from the computer. After I went up and got the map layout for the mine, no elevators worked. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong or the video game?

Similar issue, can`t leave 2nd floor, elevator terminal(none of them working) has the red crossed out icon(unless I am missing something)

I don't even have a "cross" icon. But none of the terminals to call the elevators are able to be accessed.

Quick update. After giving it a day the problem still persists. I am on the first map, on the second level after downloading the layout for the mines, and I cannot use ANY of the upper level elevators to get back down to get to the mines. Any solutions?

Some elevators works clunky. Try move out and inside or move to different walls and corners in elevator room — this works for me couple times when elevator didn't triggered.

Thank you but I tried these steps already. I've been sneaking around the monsters for a while now to all the elevators, moving around the rooms, inside and out. No change.

Get used to elevators failing behind you just like doors locking behind you in certain parts of the story/expedition. It's part of the design, you guys got to push further into the mines and find the next elevator. Be wary and set up/tear down your turrets as you move through.

I don't think you understand. This issue we're having is not intended. I personally, am stuck on the second story of the first map, because I went back up to download the layout of the mines - which were my next intended destination.
I cannot "push further" because the video game messed up and won't let me. There is nowhere to "push."

For me it could not activate anything because an alien tried to break a welded door. Killed the alien and it would let me use the elevator again.

Sorry for the problem you are having.

Could you please provide us with more information regarding the elevators that are not working?
If I understand correctly, you are stuck on the second floor after trying to retrieve the map from the mine?
Can you tell me what is the status of the aliens at the top right of your screen?
Undetected / Detected / Hunted

Hoping to be able to help you

Thank you. It isn't the map "FROM" the mines but "FOR" the mines. I obtained it where the tutorial told me to obtain the first two. When in the tutorial I just didn't download the map for the mine because it didn't tell me to. When it came time to go to the mines, I went back to the room where I could obtain the map using one of the elevators to get up to the second floor. I got the map and proceeded to also obtain anything else I left lying around. When I returned to the elevator I came up in, I was unable to enter nor interact with it. ALL subsequent elevators I sneaked around to also would not work no matter what I tried.
Currently I am "Undetected.

Thank you for your prompt response

If the two elevators on the second floor do not work and you are in "Undetected", unfortunately I have no solution to offer you so as not to lose your progress on the second floor. On the other hand, it is possible to reload the save before taking the elevator. I'm sorry this will cause you to lose some of your progress.

The problem is shared with the developers.
Sorry again for the problem you have returned and for not being able to help you any more.
