How do I unlock Factory Tier 5?
Tier 5 has two gates: 10,000 Florinol produced and the Anomaly investigation completed.
Quick answer
Complete both gates: produce 10,000 Florinol and finish the Find the Anomaly objective. Production alone does not open Tier 5. The pinned developer FAQ confirms the two-goal structure, and Update #1 repaired saves that stayed locked after the Anomaly side was already complete.
Steps
- Check that the production objective has reached 10,000 Florinol.
- Complete the Find the Anomaly goal shown by the objective panel.
- Return to Research and confirm both gates are complete.
- If an older save remains locked, load it on v0.5.4 or later so the automatic repair can run.
Requirements / limits
- The exact Anomaly route is excluded because current route reports conflict.
- Two independent player threads corroborate 10,000 Florinol; the developer confirms the Anomaly-side gate and repair.
- Update #2 does not change Tier 5 conditions.
Common mistakes
- Producing 10,000 Florinol but leaving the Anomaly objective unfinished.
- Assuming the production goal is the only condition shown by the objective panel.
- Following a guessed route when an older save actually needs the softlock repair.
Still unverified
- What is the exact current route to the Anomaly?Not verifiedPublic route reports conflict, so directions remain a separate draft.
