How do I actually start the story once i reach the hub area?

[Clegane]

I'm stuck in the hub currently, I just see a lot of mini-hubs and a few places that look like I can progress are locked? I just want to continue the story, man :[

[suh dude]

In the same boat - I've tried dragging that big battery thing on the ceiling into what appears to be a connector but nothing works...any ideas?

[Fluffiest Mallard]

No idea, nothing seems to really work so far. No custom avatar stuff either yet

[Are you Joshin' me?]

Well you can open your hand menu and go to levels then pick descent 01.
however that seems to put you back to the start instead of continuing. I don't see any other way to get back to the story

I'm guessing you have too do something in each of those areas since the big door with boneworks inside is locked behind 3 color coded locks and right in front of the elevator it labels all the areas with a color matching the door.

From the description of the game:

"After discovering an underground lab in MythOS city, you will have access to a variety of game locations including arenas, obstacle courses, tactical trials, sandboxes, experimental modes, and user generated levels. Collecting items, avatars, and clues from these locations enable you to progress through the mysterious story."

I'm guessing we're gonna have to play all the side content, to unlock the main content, so we can progress the "story"? Worried there isn't actually a story here.

[Playing like it's 2013]

Just go to the menu next to the Avatar Screen and click the arrow on the top right and pick level 3 or any level

[suh dude]

I don't think this is actually how you're meant to progress to the next level. Please correct me devs if I'm wrong

To be fair, the story for boneworks, was not great, and I don't think it was told terribly well, but that was totally ok, because it was just there to tie together all the parts of the game that were really good, and it accomplished that goal.
If bonelab is similar in that regard, then a more freeform non linear format will probably work better as long as there is sufficient content.

yea im stuck too! :C

Haven't quite gotten out yet but in the middle up top there's a big lift thing that has a map and lines on it. You can use the lift controls to pick up little ball things at the marked doors on the map and bring them over to you then they connect to the quarantine and boneworks doors. There's also a little puzzle key looking thing next to that map. It's a start at least lol

Okay! So what you do is play one level from each of the different areas to power the cores on top of the building. Once they are powered you can use the crane to collect them and move them to the right spot. Then you continue with the main story through the Quarantine door!

You have to go in every Level in the Hub, cause than you get new Crane tool thingies.

Right thanks!!
