Skywell-27 Thruster OFF vs Full-ON and Access

[DALCOhstangultion]

In the process of completing Skywell-27, we had to turn off the Thruster. We turned the valve wheel to do so and were allowed to proceed. But, the Thruster was not off. It was full on. The problem is that there's some unexplored "brown" area inside that Thruster that we now can't get to. Is there some way to actually turn the thing off? Is there anything inside that thruster?

After finishing Skywell-27 it should be turned off because... well thats one non-optional part of your mission there. Try save & quit and go back into the game again. It should fix it then.

There is only a red chest in there anyways and it wont give you progress on map discovery or anything

If you refer to the big engine that bruns you, yes you can get inside and to the left. There is a chest in there. Myself my shield was strong enough to survive part of the blast. Time it the best you can and get there as quick as possible. You might need better equipment to get in. There are only 3 tiny patches in the game you can't un-grey out.

1 is at Pandora - Ascension Bluff there is a grey arena, although you can do a vehicle jump into there to explore it, you can't explore the loot room exit, so a thin grey line remains there.

2 is also on Pandora - Devil's Razor, If you fast travel to Roland's Rest and drive south to the border turrets, the south east corner is too far away too reach, so the corner remains grey

3 is on Eden 6 - Ambermire, At the very south of the map there are border turrets, the south west corner is far enough away that a grey patch still remains.

I would not count these because they are just the result of this disgusting map discovery mechaninc. I mean you can see far enough to tell there is nothing...

Only the first one is an actual area that cannot be discovered at all

I do count these two as they highlight the disgusting map discovery mechanic and how they can't even implement it correctly. As in the example here, the reason I know this information is because I actively did try to clear the entire map and it turns out impossible mainly because of 2 and 3. 1 Isn't so bad as I know they plan on adding access to that area but nothing guarantees they will fix the issue with the boundry turret/map as so little people would want to put themselves through the chore of zig-zaging everywhere and driving around for a long time across massive areas and recently jumping along acidic ice with a booster shield.

I'll confirm that going back to the area after shutting down the game had the Thruster turned off. There's just a standard weapons chest back there and no named area.
