Mechanist's Lair: "Requires Security Key"

[onealone]

I have Ada armed with the M-Sat.
We open the first set of doors leading to the Lair.
We go down the hall and the voice announces, No biosigns detected; opening doors.
But those doors won't open. With the mouse pointed at them it says it needs a security key.

The only mod conflict I've found related to my load order was mods that affect followers, like Amazing Follower Tweaks. I was using a different companions mod. Dismissed all my companions. Used the uninstall holotape. Saved game and exited game. Removed mod from my mod manager. Started game, but still no difference.

That is weird because Ada technically only opens the first door. That door is supposed to open by itself....

The problem is evne if you unloaded/disabled the follower mod does not mean it cleaned up after itself. It could have made permanent changes via console command scripting.

Open the console click the door and use the console command to open it.

lock and unlock – Lock/Unlock doors, safes, terminals or any other locked container. Other lock states can also be set with special values. Unlock will not work on doors that are "locked from the other side". You will first need to press the left mouse button on the item in order to identify what to lock/unlock.
Values between lock 1 and lock 100 set the difficulty to that of the Lockpick skill (0-25 novice, 26-50 advanced, 51-75 expert, 76-100 master).
lock 0 – Lock using the previous type of lock it had, or novice if it had none.
lock -1 or lock 255 – "Requires Key"
lock -2 or lock 254 – "Inaccessible"
lock -3 or lock 253 – "Requires Terminal"
lock -4 or lock 252 – "Chained"
lock -5 or lock 251 – "Barred"

If I remember correctly , You first install a M-Sat ariel or beacon to eigther Ada or another 'bot .
When you find these secruity doors , you then tell Ada ( or whatevere's holding the M-Sat) , they then open the secruity doors .

the glitch I've found is if you install the M-sat on another bot and that bot is destroyed , you then have install the M-sat on some thing else .

I've got apoximately 2500 hours invested in this game since it came out in Australia , I've been reading the forums for years and (to my knolege) I've never seen this sort of bug before .

Keep playing. You obviously aint played enough to recognize the door by sight or descripted walkthrough. I get you want to help, but if you can not read his problem and know what is wrong then it aint much help at all because it creates confusion.

As I pointed out earlier that is NOT the door that requires the M-Sat. That is the door that opens by itself and takes like 30 seconds for all the door sections to open. That door is on a trigger to open when Ada walks down the ramp. He even told you this in the third sentence witht he no biosigns message.

My guess is as he already said he was using a companion mod earlier. That mod most likely created a "new" Ada with a different ID#. Since the script is waiting for a certain ID# to come down the ramp to open the door it remains closed. Even though he removed the mod the ID# it is going to remain the same.

Other people that ran into it before could have simply installed the mod after, used TCL to go through the door, or a used the console to force the door to unlock.

[Mr.MilkMann]

Huh, I actually experienced this in my most recent playthrough as well. I didn't have AFT installed, so we can root that out. What's your load order, maybe we can compare?

[onealone]

Thanks for the replies.

Just a clarification, I did try to use TCL and could not pass the the walls or door. Perhaps I should try going through the floor and then back up. I did try Unlock as well and it unlocked but would not open. The voice and green light were triggered but not the door itself. I did try in an earlier save, that was set before I entered the Robco building, to dismiss companions and unistall the mod. and then go in with Ada(M-Sat). But with the same results. She opens the first set of doors, but the second don't open. I can only assume that the ID# you mentioned has somehow been permanently added to a record being accessed even by earlier saves preRobco. In fact in support of your theory, the first time Ada opened the first set of doors Piper approached 'the mysterious device' as well. While they were both there the blue light that emanates from Ada's chest actually came from Piper's this time.

@MrMilkMann I'll get a copy of my LO up later this evening.

[Bored Peon]

Another option would be to get the ID# of a mob or item on the other side of the door and move yourself to it.

I am trying to think of a unique item or mod inside. I mean there is the Mechanist but that could make it worse. Maybe the Robobrain mob, but that is near the end.

The id on the next doorlock could work.

[onealone]

That's a really good idea. I'll poke around and see what I can find.

Milkman, sorry for not posting mod list yet, but I came down with a bad bug that I'm shaking off.

You could probbaly trim that list by 50% at least by removing the commonly used ones, like true Storms, Better Settlers, CBBE ones, etc. If any of those high traffic mods had this issue it would have been seen numerous times in the forums.

Did you have any luck with the moveplayer command? Or did you need someone to go into the zone and fetch you an ID#? I think the terminal you cna unlock the elevator would be best one?

[Mr.MilkMann]

The only two ones we have in common, is Scrap Everything and the Unofficial Patch. This could be caused by those two mods being incompatible with CC, or CC releases breaking the game

[Bored Peon]

Yeah I dont see either of them being an issue or it would be more commonly found.

Let me load up an old game and see about fetchign the terminal id#

[Bored Peon]

This will place you near the decontamination terminal just after that door.
player.moveto 1010810

I walked 10 feet away and tested it, placed me where all the glowing fungus are.

Ada should do her teleport thing and catch up.

[onealone]

I'll try it out, thank you.

[=EGC= kansasterry]

If you can not get ada close enough for the trigger to open the doors "though the announcment should indicate you did" You can try the command on the door of

SetOpenState 0

or

SetOpenState 1

To open or close script controlled doors.

Thanks buddy! I had the same issue and this was the perfect fix :)
