toncica, I'm a bit confused about your map. There is a pedestal button under a panel, but there is no indication of what makes it available to use. I've tried several laser catchers and buttons, but nothing seems to make it appear. Is this something that just happens by magic or what?

The pedestal button isn't needed right now, it exists because the player could find a way to trap himself in that area when he has the standard cube available (also conveniently linked to another item). When you arrive to pick up the standard cube the pedestal button is triggered.

So unless you noclip through the map the button will become available automatically.

Ah, okay. I suppose that was the only way to handle the problem, but it sure confused me.

Never thought that would be cause for confusion. I could add a symbol that indicates how it becomes available but why were you even attracted to the button?

Because it was a known unknown. Before I try to solve a puzzle I like to gather as much information as possible. I could see the button under the panel and that it was attached to two timers and I wanted to know if they were delay timers or activation-length timers. And I wanted to know why the mapper (that is, you) made it inaccessible. I can assure you, my attraction for your button was purely platonic.

I'm relieved to hear that. That button is the youngest item on the map. I've tested signage for the button activation but that looked worse to me. It looks like it's a choice between having a confused player or having a potentially trapped player.

I wouldn't worry about it if I'm the only one that's mentioned it.

Well, there was another mention of it therefore I added the signage for the button activation.
