Sniffer found something unorganic in the Unrefinery; nothing is there.

[officer]

As the title states, the sniffer found something unorganic in the Unrefinery on the ceiling, near a light. I've scrubbed and looked for bullet holes to no avail. What am I missing here?

Update: Just completed the entire map again. Now the sniffer is detecting something there, and in a different area. Both undetectable.

Hmm, that's rather odd.

Did you create any fires with the welder? Those sometimes have a habit of causing scorch marks out of reach on the underside of geometry.

Other than that, I'm not sure. As you say, it doesn't look like there's anything there.

You could try using the "KillNearestMess" cheat in the console(~) to get rid of it.

Well, I completed the entire map twice to find that the same spot was going off. It may be a bug. As for the area on the second playthrough, I think you're right when you say that it was soot that's outside of reachable geometry.

Anyways, will try that. Thank you.

I'll test the map later, see if there's anything wrong there.

Just roughly cleaned up that corridor. ("roughly" because I burned the crates, too.)
Nothing is wrong there.

Perhaps you missed some bullet holes nearby?
(One of Unrefinery challenge: Camouflage bullet holes.) (Yes, some of them are in that corridor.)

Also, the sniffer detects "nearby" mess, not "its pointed direction" mess.

First one might be on the other side of the door frame or on the left side of the wall.

Second one might be the bullet holes near the ceiling behind you.

Well, I executed "killnearestmess" and the sniffer dialed back only a small amount. Absolutely confused with it, I found the "ghost" command and flew above the thick barrier that seperates the playable level area and the outer limits, and sure enough...

And as for the area around the fenced wall...

I was sure I was about to go insane.

Yup that can happen, not often but it does.
When you use the welder, shoot in around 3 second bursts giving a little time for it to cool down.

I found out what that was simply by using the DebugShowViscera command along with Ghost.
It's actually a scorch mark that's INSIDE the ceiling. And that's not visible nor cleanable from below at all.
