[Bubble Trouble]
At a certain point in the mission you need to enter the extraction area, this door always seems to be "locked" Before and After attempting to use the console near by.

I've already restarted the game, anyone else experience this, any solutions?

you will find many doors locked. some until you get the abilities to unlock them, some until story and or side quests unlock them, and some never unlock at all. they are decorative locked doors (so to speak).
it is an unfortunate failing of the game that some side quests will be unreachable until you unlock something later on. There is no indicator of this other than your rising confusion and frustration.
My advice to all players, stick to the story until it becomes too hard to play, then hit the side quests. A lot of unlocks happen pretty early in the story, and a lot more of the map will be available to you then.

Good advice in general but this one never unlocks, unfortunately. If you've entered the building but the console won't unlock the door again, it never will. I've completed everything in the game but I'm just waiting on a patch to fix this.

i had a similar problem on the mission with the meat guy. first time through i got stuck in that room and the feral never spawned, the door was locked and i was stuck inside. I reloaded and it fixed. so maybe this is similar.

bubble trouble is the one with the stasis overcharge?? i actually never did that side quest, so you may very well have found a similar bug.

No, it's the one where the little nug guy (downstairs in the first large bar) wants you to investigate his wife's corpse.

At the "Search for Undina's body in the extraction area" point, it can go wrong where the game knows you've been through the door once and ticks it off as "done", but because it has you can't go inside again. This happened to me because I got through the door after suffering an unrelated double Bounty attack outside the building, so I got through the door with almost no health and died on the other side.

There are some with similar issues (Toaka and the bag) which do eventually resolve, but this one never does.

ahh, gotcha. you should definitely report it to them
they have a bug reporting form: https://forms.gle/1z8KqkAEHBH3eic79

Thanks! Yeah, I have already (I bet they're sick of reports on this one tbh, seems like lots of people hit the same issue!)

this one actually sounds real. Cheers.

I'm stuck here too. This is the only mission I have left to complete in the game and can't get past that locked door. I want to say I died inside that door and when I respawned I could never go back in.

Yep, I'm having the same issue as well.

After playing through much of the game, the game feels like an early access title, I just stopped playing, I'll revisit later in the hopes they fix these really simple gated logic issues.

I realise this is one hell of a necro, but after encountering the extraction area before going to the morgue Google brought me here and I thought I'd broken the quest.

As of the most recent patch, this bug appears to be fixed; I came back to the extraction area after triggering the console on my first visit, and the door at the back was open.
