Hey, sadly I can't start the mission, it doesn't appear in any FM starter (all the others do no matter if zip or 7z format). I converted it to zip but still doesn't show up :/

Check up the top of your FM list. For some reason, the date is broken in fm.ini -- it reverts to Jan 1st 1970.
EDIT: if this isn't the problem, perhaps extracting the contents manually will work. Create a folder named 'The Builder's Paradise' in your FM folder, and copy the contents of the zip/7z to that folder. It should show up in your FM selectors now.

So I'm stuck completely. Ok. How to get to that
"Security Room"? From what region/sector/room?
You can get to the security room by going back to the giant elevator with the throne atop of it. Then you get to the other side by jumping inside the broken glass.

So eeeh?
Pretty early on there is an elevator shaft (The one where the doors close behind you when you push the elevator button, and the creepy little mechanical child appears in the windown to the control room where you opened the doors to the shaft).
I called the elevator, but the platform dosn't go all the way to the bottom, it stops at the "bend" in the shaft and just goes back up.... Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

This happens on older versions of NewDark, that don't support squirrel.osm. Update your install to NewDark 1.27, and ensure that squirrel.osm is in your install directory.

Seems like an obsolete Newdark problem. Just upload to the latest version and see if it works.

The button behind the doors is to go up.
The call button is upstairs near the lever to open the doors.

Hmm strange, I've run T2Fix (which includes newDark 1.27) on my install (just did it again, as I had previously run it half way through to give some guidance to a friend of mine about T2Fix install settings)
I checked and squirrel.OSM is in my install directory, yet the problem persists.

Just to confirm, did you restart your playthrough? It may not have made a difference if you loaded a save.
