Stuck in "Find a way to the control center" SPOILERS

[jarb900]

Hey guys I'm in the lab sector and I got the objective to enter the control center which is full of turrents protecting the entrance, I wasn't sure how to proceed so I explored the whole sector, managed to find an NPC that told me I should enter a portal on the top floor and the exit might be in the control center, I found the portal but I need an item to open it, I don't have this item or the recepy to make it, there's also rooms locked behind red goo that you need to use an item kinda like termite? to melt it but I do not have this item or recepy as well, I feel like I explored the whole sector at this point but I can't find anything new, can someone who passed this point already give me some pointers please?

TLDR: I explored the whole Lab sector and can't find a way to progress in this objective, can someone that passed this point help please?

opening that portal comes later on. you need to build bridges across that big chasm in front of the security turrets entrance and progress from there. you can craft them in your bench.

Are you sure thats intentional and not just a way to get around it?
In the same area that you meet Dr. Cahn who tells you what to do, there is a whiteboard that tells you that there is a portal in lab that will take you to Anteverse 23, in where there is another portal that takes you to the control side.

bridging the chasm gets you to anteverse 23. it is the only way. it literally says bridge the chasm in your cascaded laboratories notes and the new update has made it more visually obvious that you do have to get across that chasm. this is how it was intended.

Yeah, I built a ramp and small bridge and used the Anti-Gravity Cube to jump over the fence.

Then I went to Helmhortz(?) Sector and greeted the locals.

i head they fixed the bridge method? is there any other way to progress at this point?

Gravity cube

I kinda when I realized the intended way was to use the Cube.

Thankfully I didn't get very far with my overthinking, but the setup was right there.

Even the shotgun was close by, with ammo in the next room for the zombie stuff too!

Wait, you're supposed to build a bridge??? I made four healing briefcases and tanked the turrets to get around there.

[CombatWombat]

I suppose, because it is right infront of that gap. Yes that was my question too.

I wish the entities would do "more" the cube is the only one that actually does something. And they could easily make it so that it can be split or it respawns when you remove it.

Building a bridge is easier. 2 bridges plus the cube should be enough to get across. 3 bridges should still work. The pieces just need something to connect to, so it should reach the other side and connect. But I'm playing by myself, and used just 2 bridges and the cube.

Never considered trying to tank the damage.

The cube gets you across without a bridge or a jumppad. Cube alone is enough.
