CRACK: lost UV light, stuck items and secret door codes

Quick answer

Update to v1.1.20 (October 31) and reload your save: items stuck under shelves are teleported back into the lab when it loads. Players who lost the UV light anywhere else have found no way to buy another yet.

Reload after v1.1.20

v1.1.20's notes say items can no longer get stuck under shelves, and ones already stuck are teleported to the lab on loading. One player had their UV light wedged under a tool shelf, and another found theirs at the computer table after a long search, so look there first.

v1.1.29 (November 3) also says the item in your hands is back in your hands after loading, and that using computers, scaffolding, carts, chairs or arcade cabinets no longer makes you drop it. v1.1.3 (October 29) put items that fell through the egg's flesh back outside the egg.

  1. Update the game, load the save again, and check the lab and the computer table for the item.

If the UV light is gone

One player lost the UV torch after an event pulled metal items towards the egg; another wonders whether they deleted it by mistake. Both found no way to get another, and players are asking Rafoli for a respawn for one-off items like it. One player says you don't need the UV light to finish the game, only to find secrets and lore.

Door codes with 1s and 7s

v1.1.20 also removed the randomized font on the secret door codes, because 1s and 7s looked alike for some players. If a code failed before, read it again after updating. Earlier, v1.0.53 fixed items disappearing when a player left the game holding them.
