TG FM: Lighthouse Shed (8.05.10)

Dront, thanks for the mission. Nice one with mysterious feeling. But navigating is inconvenient, some doors are opened into corridor instead of room. While on the roof the player bumps into sky ceiling. Why so small sizes? Especially surprising comparing to your previous missions with long-long corridors. Those don't require an update being obviously your school first trial at Dromed and can't be classified as serious work, they rather remind japanese fun missions. But Lighthouse Shed needs the level space fixed. Dwellings are narrow, taffer :)

Lotix, thank you for playing.
About your remark:

Because I intended to release this mission for Thief Anniversary Contest, where were size restrictions - total level size should be 64^3 Dromed units or smaller.
The idea of widening the spaces is worth realising, but I think it should be implemented with total level extension, not only making the navigation comfortable. This requires more time than just a couple of weeks.

FMs from the contest are quite comfortable regardless restrictions. According to my opinion the problem making the lighthouse live critical day caused rather by inaccurate design than the size.

It is an old thread and may be difficult for someone to remember but I 'll ask any way, in case....
I am at the 5 levers puzzle room and I have opened all five by trial, error and reload method. When a "negative" sound was heard I reloaded, when a door opening sound was heard I was saving,but there is a sixth door by the looks of it and I can't get inside. Either I did something wrong or I don't know... The point is that I have not any other save close to the end and I am too bored to play it again from almost the start.Not that I didn't like it, but , ok... I want to move on to a new mission.. Has anyone a save before the doors to give me ?(at Expert, middle difficulty) or am I missing something else for the sixth door to open?
Thank you in advance!

There are only 5 portcullis' behind the door, guess something went wrong.

Here's a(https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UExWqHXPI2Uk51WUlCQllXdGs) save from playing on impossible, but seeing you have very nearly finished the mission it should not be an issue. :D

And here's a (https://goo.gl/photos/xtM6KPBJzVheynYF8) screenie of the correct order that you need to frob the levers.

thank you so much fortuni!!!! :) could you possibly re-upload the save as I get en error 404 file not found ?

I was having grief with my Gdrive (too many quicksave in there) so I deleted them all a couple of days ago thinking you would have downloaded the save by then.

Here's another (http://https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7UExWqHXPI2a25CM1o1NEoxaTg) quicksave

Lighthouse Shed is the most enjoyable mission by Dront that I played. While the other missions felt large and empty, this one goes into the opposite direction: It is full of cramped spaces, decorative elements and secrets. I liked that a lot. There are hidden rooms you can see through gaps in the walls, but finding a way in is a challenge. It is not the prettiest mission and you will get stuck in narrow spaces occasionally, but the gameplay is fun.

Finished on Normal in 44 minutes with 1561 of 4702 total loot. I found two secrets, Hunter's trophy and the room with the note to Jerome.

I found sack of potatoes, but I can't use it on bed that highlights. I can only drop it, but it does nothing. What to do with these potatoes?

Just looking for clues myself! But then I was successful. I was able to "drop" the potatoes while pressed up against the bed and got some on-screen text saying "Optional objective complete!"
