pv beta 96 geothermal power plant

Post by tedmg09130913 »

In pv beta96 it is possible to turn the geothermal plant completely on. I played the level in guiapp and was able to get in and out of the control building. I could see the red lights on the control panel change from red to green as I turned on the various parts of the power plant. As they were turned on they made noise except for the cooling tower which doesn't seem to have any sounds attached to it. It doesn't work completely as described in a certain walkthrough. For one thing the cooling tower makes no noise and the cooling fans don't turn.

You can actually turn it on in Trespasser as well, but it doesn't appear to work correctly. Last I recall playing it, I managed to get the plant working again even though I didn't do one of the puzzles...think it was the one with the levers in the turbine building. That whole puzzle is a mess, and I assume that is the reason it was cut from the game, even in a largely finished state.

I actually had to use a gun to turn the levers in the turbine building :P Worked, though.
