Carl the Robot (Need help)
I've spent about 30 minutes trying to get past Carl, I've been all over the place looking for ways to advance, I can't find anything besides the auxillary power switch.

I'm not sure but I believe there's a computer terminal in the main room that allows you to selectively power up and down the different rooms in the area. You need to find the authorization codes to log in off ID cards.

If you're having a problem with trying to "save" Carl you're in for a very rough ride. Hahaha.

I just want to get past the part, I have no grounds for morality, I'm here to make it to the end of the story. Looks like I'll be backtracking a large distance in that case to find the ID Cards? (I might have overlooked a certain ID card, I'll check it out)

No both cards are in the same stretch of the level. I believe one of them is in the corridor past the stairs.

To be more helpful, ID codes are printed on staff ID badges. And badges are usually pinned to the staff themselves, or their clothing.

Lol, it took me longer than it should have to accept this.

Carl's human body has an ID badge on it. His number is his account number on the terminal. You have one of two power levers to pull to power the hatch. Once flip a lever, use the terminal again and open the next floor.

I am just lost at every turn, thinking I'll get my refund and watch someone play through it, now I don't know what to do after, (fast foward cheating 2 times) now I'm stuck at a "collect many items" portion.

Wait, I thought I managed to save Carl? At least, when teh system told me I had to reroute power, I deliberately chose flow control instead of the switch in his area that caused him to cry out in pain the first time I flipped it. As a result I had to get around a nasty that came searching after I hit the switch. I assumed you had the option of killing Carl to reroute power without using flow control?

No need for morality.. Then I can speak freely^

You have no chance in this game. You wont make it.
There's a live action video series version of SOMA on youtube. No thinking required.
