Underground Entrance impossible to progress (bad procedural gen seed)

[HDRcade[Tyler]]

I'm something like 16 hours into the game and was just about to enter chapter 2 (Hard mode, 3 lives, full inventory/hotbar upgrades all but two guns, a ton of ammo and supplies. Musician given key > Doctor Spared all achievements so far). Gone to the underground entrance and it's impossible for me to progress as halfway through it's completely blocked off by a wall (I can see the tunnel continues further past it). I've tried searching to see if others have had an issue but it's just flooded with discussions on using the shovel on the roots (I did this ages ago in my playthrough). I also looked up other people on Youtube who don't seem to have such an issue, they just walk through the tunnel as expected. I tried to use the dev console 'Start Darkwood.exe -iddqd' to try and 'noclip' but this just causes the game to freeze/error/crash when loading in.

Does anyone know a way to change the map seed or something? I can't progress any further and spent a whole weekend livestreaming this game just to get stuck.

As far as I'm aware, the tunnel is one of the places not affected by RNG and always has a fixed layout. Have you tried progressing through a night and going back in to see if it's perhaps a temporary blockage caused by coding not resolving the event flags to activate the sequence that begins Chapter 2? You might also check the side tunnels to see if one links to the door.

There are no side tunnels that I'm aware of I can only go left (where the roots were) or right (into this deadend). I will try surviving another night and return, will edit my post if fixed.

I progressed to day 27 and it's still a dead end.

Here is a copy of my sav file (prof1) if it's any use.

I emailed the help/support team and they have sent me a fixed version of my save file! Amazing support. They are also surprised by the 'Pretty crazy bug' and I'm happy to have made them aware and hopefully helped. I will keep the fixed save and likely share it for anyone else who may run into it.

Thank you for your help too Null Winter.
