Bugged button in the elevator to suburbs

[dark.sin]

I created the access module, used it in the terminal next to the corpse, the elevator is now unlocked, but the red button to asend down stays inactive and cand ne pressed (no use icon appears). Any possible tips what to do with that?

Save and quit back to the main menu, then reload your save. Worked for me after that, but it happened again when I wanted to come back up from the suburbs. When I tried the same thing I spawned in back on my ship.

I tried, but nothing changer. Even tried to restart whole comp, restart the game, but still nothing. I must say I play on beta branch, so maybe beta version bug. But its still dead end withnout any real reason. Game devs, if you read this, help us. We cant for our money finish the game!

There are two access module types...as there are two towers to access the ground level, the second is the one with the dead scientist at the elevator entrance and requires the advanced access module...
But if you have done all this and its still not working then definitely must be a bug

Yes, I know what to do, I have created and used access module, the elevator opened, but the red button under the window cant be pressed, the "use" icon dont appear and with the button cant be interacted.

I'm having the same problem.

The first time it happened on one of the underdust labs, so I went to a different lift and it worked, but then it wouldn't let me back up to my airship. Luckily a save and reload returned me safely back to my airship and all my inventory was still in the lift storage which I could still access.

However, it seems that every single underdust suburbs location is bugged and I've wasted 3 advanced access modules trying to get the lifts to work on different locations. I can get in the lift, but the red button has no "Use" action so it won't go down. I can't really progress anymore until this is fixed.

Are you playing on beta?

Edit: if so, this is a known issue and we're on it.

Yes, it's on beta.

Not sure if this is related but I'm also finding it rather difficult at times to use other devices and ladders. It can be quite finicky getting the "Use" action to appear when standing near a ladder. Also sometimes it can be tricky collecting crafted items off various machines as well. I can be pointing my crosshairs directly at the item or ladder and it isn't being shown with the blue selection highlight. In both of these cases if i reposition myself a bit and aim at a specific spot i can get it to work, but it's a little frustrating.

Yes, I have it on beta as well. I tried to start new game without beta a there it worked. But these suburbs are mad maze, I cant find nothing there :(.
When 1.5.3. goes out? This week? :)

Hello, compared to other games that include a pet, this one is very well designed and rest assured, you won't lose it. For the elevators to work, go with the pet and if you don't see it anymore, a simple decoration/recce will take you back to your airship with your precious pet without losing any stuff. Good game

Confirmed. This bug does appear to be related to the pet. The button appears to wait until your pet has entered the elevator, and if you deliberately leave your pet in the airship the button will never activate. Now that I know this, I have been able to get the lift working every time by ensuring I take the pet with me.

After yesterday's hotfixes this issue shouldn't be happening anymore. ^^
