You have to turn on the steam machines in this room with the boiler in the backside of the room. There is water, coal and fire you have to apply to the oven, in order to get the steam machines running:)

After the steam machine starts running, there is no clear way of how to return to elevator area.

There is an elevated path near the water valve. It leads back towards the entrance. It ends with a gap. However, you can make a running jump to get across.

Hopefully, you didn't miss the matches.

Assuming you are in the spot mentioned...

You pull a lever to release coal into the burner. (A large metal cylinder.) You then must stand in front of it. Open inventory. Then use the matchsticks.

Slightly tricky. A bit confusing. Worked for me, though. Beat the entire game. On normal difficulty.

I can't say if your game is bugged. Mine was fine.

Running jumps in this game works very haphazardly, the jump height is just below most table-height objects and there's some input delay. Holstering guns may improve mobility, but the difference isn't too big. I also suspect that FOV and custom keybinding might interfere jumps because other Unreal games sometime have these issues.

Many other games with non-hardcore movement will just use ledge assist or put interactive ladders next to gaps. The physics system in Industria works fine, but movement limits its use.

On a table next to the machine with the burner. (This game needed to make it more clear which objects could be interacted with.)

This is a prime example of how terribly is this game designed. This is beyond nonsensical. I am not used to randomly open an inventory in a first person POV to something that doesn't look like I can interact with to begin with! How was I ever supposed to know I should try to light up coal with matches, something that just isn't possible IRL? Is this an adventure game from the 90's in disguise?

Ignoring basic standards (like giving the player any indication that the object can be interacted with) and adding nonsensical tasks without any hints will make anyone stuck on an otherwise basic task. This is just wrong.

And yes, I've picked the box of matches, but since I've previously also picked up a record desk, and I've only seen something called "sticks", I've immediatelly dismissed it.
