Empyrion - Galactic Survival

Empyrion - Galactic Survival

Stuck in the temple spiders area on first talon mission
So I'm stuck in the talon mission one to investigate the ruins, I killed the spiders and went in, pushed down that weak wall and touched the lever, the base turned on and a ramp went down, but theres an "elevator" that does nothing, it' never comes on or lets me ride on it.

New game and everything since i just started playing.

Anyone know a way to fix it? I'd rather not skip the content in there.

Thanks for your advice. I tried it, but it did nothing. It still says "Pull lever" and the elevator is not activated.
You don’t need to activate Elevators.
They are always activated in this game.
They are something like tunnel which you can down and up in this game.
Stand on that elevator, hold the “C” key and you will go down,
Then look around, you will see another lever.

This is all kind of elevator block :

I have not played 1.7 yet but maybe they changed the C keybind. Check your keybindings in setting to see what key is down. You use this key for everything CV, HV, SV, movement down so would be good to know. The other issue at this point I have seen many do not know J is both jetpack, up/jump.
If you have made the ramp move and gotten to the elevator it should work despite what the mission says. As far as I know elevators do not deactivate they always work.

What is your seed number? I can try to test that in new game.

EDIT: I usually typed seed numbers in saved file data in new game in case if something goes wrong. Some seeds have different bugs while others have almost none. Some seeds have better POIs than others as well on starting planets.

This is what my issue was.. Crouch somehow had unkeyboand itself and pressing C to set to fixed it. Initially I thought it was left Ctrl, but otherwise was not aware.

Thank you.
You are welcome. :steamhappy:
Enjoy this game.
It's a little buggy, but it's fun.
