Core Sample [VCD 1.13]
By Vic=HKC=
It is time to dive into this map, a true hommage to Half-Life universe, as many references to Half-Life, Half-Life Blue Shift, Half-Life Decay and Half-Life 2 can be found. Have fun smashing these crystals!

Introduction
Ah, this map made my ovaries explode (figure speech, I still have my ovaries). Half-Life everywhere.

Also, I wanna promote this guide made by Jepp about achievements - it helped me a lot!

  • Slosh = Slosh-o-Matic (Buckets Dispenser)
  • SA = Stacking Area
  • LW = Arc/Laser Welder
  • PID = USB key to use on the punch
  • Punch = Punch the panel if you want to finish a level and see your performance
  • Vendor = Device that gives lights, flares, medikits, pizza slicers, cautious signs, seeds, etc.

Disposal Bins
  • At the WAL

Buckets
  • At the Slosh

Quantum Bin
  • On the 02 mini teleporter


Tips
  • To clear blue stains, use your broom. It will transform into a crystal shard.
  • Smashing crystals can result in these blue stains or not. It's quite random.
  • To smash crystals, you can use crates, containers or even your mop/broom by right clicking.
  • For the reactor room, you throw items from the third floor on the crystals that are high on the wall. Or you can use a huge container on your J-Harm to reach them.

  • Anyway, the J-Harm can be used for crystals that can be easily reached with it.
  • There is a crystal that is hard to smash with anything else than your broom/mop in the reactor room.

  • Since V1.13, one of the stacking areas is bigger: it should be enough now to contain every crate.
  • Since V1.13, crystals can no longer be shattered inside containers like bins, buckets, trunks, etc..
  • Mini teleporters can be used to bring quantum bins (sold at the vendor) near the incinerator. It is more helpful in co-op than solo. You can find a mini teleporter with a quantum bin on the left side of the incinerator room.

  • The HVC Mk9 Lightning Gun must be burned or in your trunk. The sniffer is reacting to it.

the mini teleporters are AMAZING!

they are ABSOLUTELY useful in singleplayer; put one on the table (next to the incinerator for example) and angle it so that the "top" is facing outwards towards you. this means any items you teleport TO it will be spit into the floor right in front of the incinerator! it doesn't work very well with whole bodies that have loose physics, but it seems to work with the frozen ones just fine.
I'd also recommend putting something smaller behind the teleporter on the table, so it has less chance to get flug backwards when it spits out something. one of the hextagonal "caution" thingies fit perfectly.

aaand, as if that wasn't enough, you can also teleport YOURSELF! I seriously need these teleporters on more maps. :'D

It was said by a previous comment but I will expand a bit on crystal behavior.

I did a bunch of experiments on crystals and i'm pretty confident on how they work:

When you break a crystal, an invisible object spawns (let's call it "F.D." for "Falling Dust"; you can see it with "show collision"). The F.D. seems to have some conditions: despawn when hitting a flat surface and spawn dust on said surface. ("Flat" meaning no angle, or very minimal angle required it seems)

When the F.D. hits an interactible object, it will disappear from "show collision" and two scenarios can happen:
If the object if moving / jittering: the F.D. will settle on top of the object as long as said object is moving, and if the object is violently moved in this process, the F.D. will have force applied accordingly;
If the object is perfectly static: the F.D. will apply it's conditions on the object but no dust will spawn in it's place since dust cannot spawn on objects.

Ok so...I did burn the HVC gun, but for some reason I still get a paper saying workers electrocuted themselves when I clocked off.

question, yeah there's the normal crates, but do you also stack the tall caution things?

This is one of the worst maps in the game by far when it comes down to enjoying the game experience of cleaning. the crystals are just annoying and are not satisfying to clean at all. :D i hate this map

Do the Teleporters have to be burned as well?
LFL 23 May, 2019 @ 6:57am 
Hey, here is a little tip: If you break a crystal against a bin, it won't make a stain (you have to break it against the top of the bin). Its a quick way to get rid of crystals.
Thank you for your guides, they're really helpful!

Thx

I don't think so, I've burned some of them and I've still got more than 100%

Does it matter if you burn the C-45 Containment unit
