I can't open security doors
I'm in Hell's Kitchen at the NSF base and I have no clue why I can't open the garage hatchway on the security terminal. I click everywhere on the screen to try and open this thing but all I can do is change the camera pan speed. Is my computer skill just too low or is there some bug?

The NSF base doesn’t have a garage hatchway…

Do you mean Smuggler’s base? If you mean the little garage roller door near the blue laser tripwires …. That just has a bot in it, that shoots you if you activate the tripwires and am not friendly with Smuggler.

If you’re just talking about a bog standard security terminal, and it’s not opening, then it’s probably a bug. You should be able to use those normally, like any other security terminal.

There’s also a series of doors in that base that open automatically when you run next to them.

I just watched a video of someone doing the exact thing I was trying to do and their screen was completely different than mine when they're using the security terminal, which means my game is bugged.

I'm using the kentie launcher so I can only assume it has something to do with that.

If it helps at all, this is what my screen looks like when in the security terminal.

Right, yeah that looks like a mod . Normally the computer terminal screens look slightly different.

There are quite a few doors that can be opened in the game using terminals. Normally though, all the options are present on the one screen, and you can just toggle ‘unlocked/locked’ and ‘closed/open’ as options for a particular Camera Window.

Perhaps if you click ‘Active Window options’, you can find this toggle and unlock + open the door?

I got past this by clicking all over the screen again and got lucky clicking an invisible button opening the door. I later realized that the camera view is actually layered over the terminal's OS, so I can only assume its a rendering problem.

Aaah right. That makes sense.

This is what the computer terminals normally look like. As you can see, there are normally options for:

- Turning the Camera On/Off,
- Unlocking/Locking a Door
- Opening/Closing a Door
-Setting Turrets to ‘Allies/Enemies’

If you’re experiencing that rendering issue with all of your terminal screens, then it might be worth at least remembering the locations of all of the ‘invisible’ buttons! (I.e in between the ‘Active Window Options’ and ‘Camera Options’ titles, going down).
