---

Now, a little backstory: After suffering a minor setback on your way to the surface, you ironically managed to go straight out to the opposite way, still maintaining your principal objective, GO STRAIGHT UP TO THE EXIT but now that you was been delayed,maybe it's time to explore more and try to find some answers about your destination before you ended up frozen in the stasis chamber.

I've been waiting for this. I enjoyed the first one SO much.

I hope that you enjoy =D iv'e tried my best to make a good map.

Wow that was AWESOME. So much backstory >.< I LOVE IT!
That was THE BEST exploritory map I have ever played EVER!
Makes valves one look like crap. Love the train line!

10/10 Absolutley beautifully awesome!

A few things I noticed while playing:
||- Portable Portalable Panel - kinda clips into the ground.
- Water in last 'cave' is really wierd looking.
- A few things stayed lit when the lights went out - and vice versa.
- Music gets a bit repetative after a while.
- Online one CJ voice line? or did I miss something?
- Loved the new signs but full of bad grammer - I know you're not a native speaker, but still.
- Got caught on a lot of debris - maybe use some playerclips to smooth it out.
- Got stuck a few times - had to quickload. Dont know if intentional or not.||

1. Got stuck on random debris that didn't more but should move (e.g. the chairs on the floor at the start of the map).
2. Some portal-able surfaces are VERY hard to place portals on (e.g. the floor to get out of the first room) and/or are hard to recognise as portal-able.
3. After the map crashed Portal 2 for the third time, I gave up on trying to finish it.

This and much more facts let me enrage. -.-

Map is soooooooo big, and contains only hide and seek parts.
I gave up after about 40 minutes ...maybe I'll try it later, maybe.

For the design: 5 Points, awesome!

Beautiful insanely detailed map again.

Had only a few minor problems like the others
- A few portal surfaces like the ones at the start are really difficult to accept them, needs a placement helper
- A few of the door props along the train line and the crack next to it are floating off the wall.

Again my biggest annoyance was the number of invisible portal cleansers, I was walking along with the companion cube and it got fizzled by nothing, there is a slanted portalable platform you can pick up and carry and everytime I tried to use it it kept just fizzling the portals im not sure why it needs to be one way only. You could very easily stick the old aperture fizzler emitters in all the locations rather than just invisible ones.

Still awesome map though

Ok =D i'm noting all these mistakes to correct,i'm very sorry for them i was expect to find them in betatest but just 2 pelope played and just 1 gaved feedback.

The beginning and a few other places need placement helpers for sure. But it didnt seem to crash for me at all. I had full FPS the whole time I was playing.

What do you expect for an exploritory map?

My computer ran it fine, only a bit of lag now and again cause my computer hates gel a bit, though it wasent a really thick gel stream so wasent too bad

My computer can run it fine (my machine is a beast) but if I threw a physics object through certain portals (one time when I jumped through one) I would get a random crash.

Oooooh, damn it. I've overlooked this detail in the description.
Ok, than I'll have to try it again anytime and make a objective criticism.

But now I know: I don't love explorations.

Ok guys i just uploaded a new version with some fixes, please play it to see if they was corrected well, i'll be very gratefull. =D

great map but somehow luck isn't on my side: MaterialSystem: Out of memory in render data! as soon as i jump through the portal to reach the room at the end of the train. i have a nvida 275 gtx card which did well so far on portal. any suggestions? it seemed that v1.1. brought at least one good thing: in v 1 it was constantly crashing when even looking at the doors at the building at the end of the train...

I updated again =D hope now that works fine for you.

thanks for the update. better again than the prev versions but it still crashes, last time when walking into the hall where the switches are located see screenshot attached for my settings which i really decreased a lot compared to what i usually do.

(i think the german translated options are easy to guess)

Incredible mapping. A lot of hunting around to find the buttons, switches etc. and easy to get lost over and over. The hints were helpful in a couple cases such as picking up the launch platform and I might not have thought of it. Maybe a different way of introducing, suggesting or guiding instead of a raw hint?
A huge space to hunt through, I really enjoyed that - made it more realistic for a decayed theme. I did find a radio, but disappointed no music... Liked moving boxes and stuff around - again realism...
Thanks for creating, you are doing great. Look forward to the next... please!

as many of you guys seems to have no problem with crashing/ lagging- is there something I could turn off via settings/ console to not run into the renderer out of memory error?

New update guys =D hope now that the all the problems are gone.

It was an amazing map

I made a video of my playthrough with commentary. The problem is that my microphone wasn't on -_-

I found a few tiny issues, some lighting issues and a few non-solid models. However that's only tiny details. The map is just bloody, bloody awesome! You're an amazing mapper! The details are crazy good! I can't wait for a possible new part!
