Power tube exploit (bug or script error ?)

[W.A.V.E]

While figuring out how to optimize Teron in act I for my character build, I stumbled upon an exploit for the power tube in the mining outpost that's under Aurelian control. Even though you're supposed to get only a single power tube from the level (provided you do the necessary steps), I managed to obtain another.

The sequence of events was:

1. Sneaking into the outpost and stealing the power tube from the chest next to the console operating the smelting process.

2. Leaving the power tube in one of the two lootable containers in the level (when you go back to Dellar without the power tube he has nothing to say since the situation isn't resolved)

3. I persuaded the raiders to attack the mine (I'm unsure if this makes any difference for the whole thing since I didn't try a different route but I decided to list it nonetheless)

4. I killed Esbenus after the attack on the outpost was finished.

After those events I got a power tube from Dellar to try and power up the machine, which I did. To my surprise, the power tube i stored from my earlier venture to the mine was still in the container waiting, thus netting me one extra power tube.

I believe this isn't intended to work like this so I wanted to give other folks a chance to try it and to give the devs a heads up, provided they're interested in fixing this exploit.

Got back to the game after 5 years and it's still an engrossing experience as it was when I started, hope you get back to this world in a new entry.

Cheers !!!
