Question about POIs with locked doors...
I was watching a play though by some YouTuber, actually at least two different YouTubers, where they destroyed/wrenched the 'key box' that opens the locked doors. And that "turned" the doors into the regular, unlocked versions. I'm pretty sure neither was playing Darkness Falls. And they didn't say they were using a mod that would allow them to do that. It could have been back in Alpha 20??

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It's possible it was Alpha 21, and The Fun Pimps patched it out as undesirable? Anyways, if anyone knows of a mod that would allow that, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know!

This is an intentional game mechanic implemented as a workaround for a bug with some of the key boxes where they do not unlock the door when triggered like they are supposed to.

Keep in mind it’s a 100% destroyable world (with the annoying exception of trader POIs, but I digress). So if you destroy a key rack, for whatever reason, they don’t want it to break the flow of the quest. I would guess that unlocking the associated door was the most foolproof option for key racks, switches, etc. that get destroyed.

I know in Darkness Falls you can indeed destroy the Trader/Traitor compound! And there's a crowbar that you can use on locked doors that makes them like a locked chest - you can beat on the door with your crowbar until you "break" the lock, then it's just a regular door.

I'm specifically asking about destroying the "key box" to turn the doors into regular doors...
