I can't find the fire element for the eye objective. It's the only thing I'm missing. Playing on expert if that matters.

Mission finished in "normal" with two hours of gameplay. Overall i had a positive experience.
Strongest points :
-Gameplay
-New ambient/music sound which were very good and fit well with the scenarios as well with the different situations presented in the mission.
-Storyline offers a good amount of readables that allows you to know well what happened in Builder's paradise.
-New Ai creatures.
Weakest points:
-Some areas have an interesting layout (reminded me quake 3 sometimes), but some seem unfinished, some have misaligned textures, also some shapes could have edges textures to provide contour around them, and some brushes are aligned in a confusing way.
-Choice of some textures, didn't fit well in some areas ( but i understand one had to use only t2 textures due to the contest rules) .
Thank you for this mission, i will give it a good note/vote and i will replay it in "expert" .

[spoiler]It's in the armory, which is locked.
To find the key you need only look a little around the place where you find a readable where a Mechanist is asked to bring the Armory key down to the sewers.[/spoiler]

Stuck on expert.
I've been everywhere accessible I think. I have Raw energy canister (Storm), Naphta barrel (fire), and even corrosive water from a "secret" area. I've been up at Karras' and encountered the two metal creatures moving like bugbeasts. Then sneaked back down to the assembling factory area. Now everything is packed with superfast robot guys and I am a bit annoyed by them. I don't mean the ones standing on the two sides of the corridor leading to the throne. I mean the whole factory area, etc.
Should I go back to an earlier save and just not go upstairs to Karras before time? And, BTW, how to continue? I think I'll need a key to the extraction station.
Thank you!

ticky: Going into Karras' room is essential to progression; you did it at the right time. You have to make your way to the Security Room (a readable in the Worker's Quarters has this information), which your map indicates is north of Karras' Quarters. You can access it from the upper level of Karras' Quarters with the large throne elevator. More of the map will open up from there.

What purpose has the vibrating boulder?
I'm currently trying to shut down the factory, while being terrified every second since I know this invincible(?) zombie is even following me in the factory.
3 things: water supply, 5 valves - I did that at the beginning of the mission, after the last one a creepy sound startled me. - was that it? | overheating, do I have to turn on light switches and 1 generator? | wrong ore, How does that exactly work? I threw the "corpse" a combat bot on the production line with the rubble but it just lays there and nothing happened.
Edit: Nevermind - it worked. Underneath the production line there is a an opening. Throw the body in there.
But still - what am I supposed to do with the vibrating boulder?

What purpose has the vibrating boulder?I ask the same question and i think i know why now. There is not a lot to read in this mission (thank God) but you have to find the stuff to read to understand the purpose. Regardless, I'm still upset that caustic guacamole was not on the menu.

Whoa, I was just about to have a heart attack, when I started the mission like normal, it crashed to my desktop only to realize, I was using the enhancement texture pack. I can only use the original texture pack that came with the game sadly. P.S. This mission appears to be buggy for me even with the original texture pack enabled, I notice some stuttering and then suddenly crashes to my desktop without any error message.

I wouldn't really consider this a sad occurrence. Most "enhancement" texture packs are terrible and ruin the OMs. Also, I do believe the contest thread recommends you don't use them for these missions, as they're all made without their awful changes in mind :)
