Stuck Again, Penumbra - Black plague

[stanwenger]

In Machine room, gas mask on. Trying to break open metal door with bar. Tried everything I can think of but still no luck. What is the secret method?? Please Help.:cry:

No need for the gas mask in that area, there's no gas leak. Just swing that metal rod violently sideways: pull the rod towards the wall, and the door will fall off. Be carefull, because there's big surprise.

To ROT51. Thanks for response. As it turns out I wasted 2 days banging on the wrong door. Am I too stupid !! When I finally found the right door it was a snap. That puts me in room with worm. When I throw power switch, I get nothing. Tried many times. Is there a key to the timing of throwing the switch? Clue please.

I have actually heard a few times from some people can't think the obvious ways properly because they're used to the mostly non-interactable world in the games.
...I hope they'll be able to fix that.

They should stop playing Doom these days, that game sends your brains to '93.

Even within penumbra there was inconsistency, you could smash in one fuse box/power junction but not another, move some metal shelves but not all, smash some planks with the pick but another required a saw. Then there were a handful of places where you couldn't climb over something by building a box/object staircase because of invisible walls, yet that was the solution elsewhere. When you can't interact with everything in the same way, or you have to complete events in a certain order even if you can see a way around then it can make even the simple puzzles harder to solve.
