Secrets/Lore Stuff
Post lore/secret stuff here
Here's what I've found so far:

1. The morse code says CAL
2. The note page is a Vigenere cipher and decodes to this:

"the lunarcore project is X large-scale research program based on X discovery made in 1986 related to the unique properties of lunarore. this element has the ability to influence the subconscious and opens up new perspectives in the field of knowledge transfer between people. the lunarcore project aims to develop a method for creating a full-fledged core capable of transferring information and knowledge from one person to another.

the main goal of the lunarcore project is to explore and maximize the potential of lunarore to develop an innovative method of knowledge and information transfer. the creation of a full-fledged core capable of interacting with the subconscious level of a person can lead to revolutionary changes in the field of education, science and interpersonal communication.

the direction of development of the lunarcore project will remain strictly confidential, and access to information will be provided only for the purpose of promoting the project and ensuring its successful implementation.

with respect,

??????
lead engimeer of infinity
lunarcore project"


The typo of engineer could be a normal typo or something else, I'm not sure
That big ball room thing could also be this "Lunarcore" thing they're talking about

3. There are slabs hidden throughout the map that you put inside the Lunarcore, here are there locations

- Up the parking lot stairs in the corner
- On the parking lot roof behind the wood
- Inside one of the open red containers in the water
- Behind a container in one of the maps corners (Facing the core, it's the southeast side)
- In the tall, derelict building

4. There are certain areas that have indents in them where you can insert a tablet. There are images listed in the comments about said locations, putting in the tablets in the right order reveal qr codes that have these links

5. The R was encoded in the Vigenere cipher again, so here is the result after decoding:

"hi i have some bad news for you.

i'm not the one who left the previous notes. i'm just like you. a copy without knowledge and
memory. i found the last artifact to make a final note and report very unpleasant information.
as i read from the documents found, the experiment with lunarcore was conducted sometime
in the 1990s.

however, i found the last computer that was still working. judging by the date... more than 120
years have passed since the appearance of these notes. and i do not know after how many
repeated activations of lunarcore you will find these notes...

this place is powered by lunar energy, so there will be enough electricity for another two
centuries.

as for the tasks... i do not know what to do next, except to activate lunarcore again. i'm sorry,
but that's all i can do. apparently, our destiny is to wander around this place, passing the soul
to our copies, for many more years..."

It already seems like we have a majority of the puzzle pieces together, although we're still missing that one piece: the code to the Lunarcore
Post any of your findings here

We've solved it (probably), the code for the lunarcore is 2579

Очень похоже на то, что это вдохновлено Inside. Пока что это ничего не даёт, но попробуй азбуку Морзе

Lore
I found Morse code in the water near spawn. When you spawn, leave the large doors, go left, down into the flooded room, when you see a door, look behind you, and press interact on the Control Panel box, and look to your left.

Jackat you are wrong.
Its CAL

I also found every slab for the core. One is at the top of the parking lot, another is in the derelict building, another in one of the open shipping containers in the water, and the last one is outside of another shipping container in the corner of the map.

Sorry about that, I'll edit it now

Another note (no cipher) says:

"Mining and laboratory complex "infinity"

The infinity company is leading a mining and laboratory complex specializing in the extraction and exploration of a deposit discovered in about 1960. Founded by a group of enterprising and inspired founders, Infinity is committed to innovative research in order to expand our knowledge of the Earth's mineral resources.

The main activity of the company "infinity" is the extraction and subsequent study of a new element of the periodic table, which was discovered in our field. The new element, called "Lunar Ore", is a unique find that has the potential for application in various branches of science and industry.

The mining and laboratory complex "infinity" combines high technology and advanced scientific approach. Our company has modern equipment that allows us to efficiently extract and analyze "Lunar Ore" in order to study its properties and potential. Our specialists are constantly working on the development of new research methods in order to maximize the opportunities provided by the unique element.

I don't think that's all of them
There's still one missing
The last one is sure hard to find though

Around the map you can find these rectangular pieces that can be slotted into the core/big ball. Once you find all of them it says "LUNAR CORE IS READY" and unlocks the keypad, but I have no idea what the code is.

Where did you find the last slab? I've only found the 4 mentioned in the other lore post, I can't seem to find the last one

I must’ve forgotten about that one. I’ve found it before, though.
JackAt 4 Sep, 2023 @ 4:47pm 
Nvm, found it
For anyone else reading, it's inside the building area right above the parking lot
Not to be confused with the one on the roof
Also fun fact:
The symbols on the pieces spell out "LUNAR"

It's inside the building above the parking lot, there was also one on the roof
the putrid one 4 Sep, 2023 @ 4:48pm 
One is hidden behind some sheets of plywood leaning against the wall. One is behind a red container in the area full of blue containers. One is in a smashed cargo container in the water in-front of the core building. One is on a desk in the wrecked building by a blue lamp. One is up some stairs inside an enclosed room directly below the plywood one.
