The SARC Facility

Sapphire Advanced Research Corporation built its Zero Point site far underground. Something went very wrong. The lights flicker, the doors are sealed, and the portal is quiet... for now.

Layout

• Entrance and stairs from the surface.
• Storage with fuel cells, the access card and tram kits.
• Portal wing: airlock, upper hall, observation room and the portal chamber.
• Reactor wing: about 130 blocks away, reachable only by tram. Holds the reactor vessel, the fuel-system room and Reactor Control (CR).
• Tram stations at both wings with raised boarding decks, benches, signs and call terminals.

Walkthrough

1. Gear up. Visit storage for sealed fuel cells and the SARC access card. The security checkpoint needs the card in your main hand.
2. Take the tram. Go to Portal Station and use the terminal. The tram runs on emergency power, so it works before the reactor is on. Right-click the tram to board.
3. Fuel the reactor. At Reactor Station, enter the reactor wing and put one Sealed Fuel Cell into each of the three slots in the fuel-system room.
4. Start it up. Use the startup desk in Reactor CR. It checks the fuel and all channels before it uses the batch. Starting an already-online reactor uses no extra fuel.
5. Ride back. With power restored, the elevator and powered airlocks wake up. Follow the airlock's upper hall to observation or portal access.
6. Open the portal. Use the portal controller in observation and get ready to hold the line through three waves.

Tips

• Calling a station terminal recalls an empty tram. Occupied trams can't be replaced.
• Dismount once you arrive at the platform.
• The elevator has obstruction checks and interlocked landing doors. If something blocks it, it pauses.
• The Medical Station heals you if you use it with a Bandage in hand.
