The DAA Outpost where you buy things to help with your defense is only supposed to be open between waves. But I found that if one were to tell their builders to put a broken wall on the yellow door that toggles to prevent it's usage, and then blow it up with a powder keg, it becomes open permanently.

So, should we add something to prevent a build marker from being placed on that door?

My guess is this probably won't be fixed. Any change has the potential to break demos, and this bug doesn't impact the gameplay too much.

I agrer with disoriented's assessment, though @mrimer you may want to have the final word here

I've found that averagemoe has a knack for finding clever approaches to work around the system. A sign of a good tester!

Thoughts that run through my mind here:

1. Though there isn't anything that teaches players how to perform said behavior anywhere else in the hold, it's not required to complete the room.

2. Generally, DROD rewards players who come up with creative solutions.

3. I'm unclear how much advantage this trick actually gives you to complete the room better/faster/easier than without it.

4. This doesn't really break the room or ruin the puzzle (please correct me if I'm wrong). I fully admit this room is unusual, and who knows what the intended approach is to solve it anyway.

These thoughts form a complex mobile in my mind that tilts toward leaving the room as-is.
