How do I get back to Medical?

[Struonger]

Currently went through the other floors up to Flight Deck and came back to Research level to take the elevator to finish completing Medical as the security level is still high compared to the other levels (I dropped Flight Deck & Research security level down to 0%, save for Maintenance that's at 55% and Storage that's at 4%).

When I got back to Research, I couldn't find a way to get to Medical. Even the elevator at Research doesn't give me the option to go to Medical.

I can see on my end that there's one Elevator on the map and it's the same one I mentioned.

Is there any other way to reach Medical? Thanks

There is another elevator on Research deck. It is a exclusive elevator that goes only to Medical and nowhere else. Unless I'm remembering wrong it should be in the north-western part of the Research floor.

There are two elevators in research, you're probably in the wrong one.

In Research are two elevators. One goes to Reaktor and Maintenance and one goes to Medical.

Research elevator to med: Exit the elevator, go left-right through the big door into the large square chamber, turn left , walk to the corner, then right, walk under the laser bridge, pass the cargo lift on your left and immediately take a left turn into the side corridor. The elevator to med should be the 3rd or 4th door to your right in this corridor.

Yes I still regularly go back to med for my free healing/recharge.

Found it, thanks everyone

Seems like a bizarre choice on the part of whoever designed the station. Anyone who needs medical attention has to go down to research and then make their way across that deck to get to the one elevator to the deck.

There are few audiologs about the design of the station and the strangeness of it, so that comes up inside the game also and there are few explanations

To be fair, most (all?) decks have dedicated medbays. The main Medical deck itself seems more like a subsection of Research, where more advanced (non-acute) procedures are carried out.

One thing that sucks is that the elevator you take from Medical to Research is not marked on the map, only the one to Maintanace and the Reactor.
I really do think the devs should sit down at some point and figure out how to make the damn map properly functional.

You just have to suspend your disbelief around that in general. It makes absolutely zero sense for there not to be a turbolift all through the station right in the middle. At most there would be an extra one for the bridge for security reasons.

The way the elevators are structured is purely for gameplay reasons. Just pretend that these are all those secondary lifts that also exist, but the main one is permanently shut down.

The elevator icon for the elevator to Medical was not showing on the map for me (bugged), which is probably why OP asked this question. Maeryck's answer is correct, and the elevator icon should reappear at some point (not a permanent bug).

I imagine there would be a lot of people taking the elevators to get to the maintenance level to use the bathrooms since I think there's only 1 each on medical and research.
