Getting started in the facility

Step

In short Your first job is to move through the facility, find interactable controls, and understand what each one changes.

When you join, you land inside a sprawling underground base with no single fixed path. The facility is full of buttons, panels, and switches built into walls, machines, and floors. Press them and watch what changes around you — opened doors, activated systems, and new routes are all triggered this way.

Walk the facility move through every corridor and room you can reach from the start.
Check surfaces carefully buttons appear on walls, machinery, electronic panels, and floors.
Press anything interactive each button you hit can change the state of the facility around it.

The reactor and its disasters

Summary

In short The reactor swings between meltdown and freezedown depending on what players do, and each extreme triggers a different catastrophic event.

The core of the facility is a nuclear fusion reactor. Push its temperature high enough and you get a meltdown; push it cold enough and you get the opposite — a freezedown. Both are server-wide disasters that every player on the server experiences together.

Meltdown　the core exceeds 4000 degrees and a nuclear disaster follows.
Freezedown　the core drops below -4000 degrees, and space and time implode in on themselves.
Black Hole　a black hole forms during the dimensional instability that follows a freezedown, and players can be pulled into it.
Easy Escape　a game pass lets you escape the facility before it is destroyed during a meltdown.
Rocket Escape　a harder exit during disaster; only the daring and lucky make it out by launching into low Earth orbit.
Radiation　a radiation detector can be used to search for radiation inside the facility.

Beyond meltdowns and freezedowns, the facility has hidden events that reward players who stay curious and stick around.

Wait for the alien dance party event aliens teleport into the main chamber and you can dance with them to earn a badge.
The alien event happens every other event cycle and at a much higher rate than normal.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I have to prevent the meltdown, or can I cause one?

Both are valid choices — the game description makes clear that you decide. Causing a meltdown is one of the experiences the game is built around, and you earn a badge for surviving one either way.

How do I earn credits?

Survive events and pick up daily tasks from the NPCs inside the facility. Joining the Pinewood Builders group on Roblox adds one extra credit per event on top of your normal earnings.

How rare is the alien dance party event?

It happens every other event cycle and at a much higher rate than normal, so staying active through multiple meltdowns and freezedowns is the way to catch it.
