For the past year Co-Coder Wardle2403 and I have been working hard on The Goons and the Mystery of the Strange Cabinet [Unofficial Workshop Expansion Mod]

This Mod adds the legendary trio into Zakov on a map rotating spawn system

Each Goon includes their own custom gun and legendary armor plus, Fully functioning and working Pipe you can load and smoke, Backpack with antenna that lights up near high threats, and an attachment you can toggle different colors.

A strange cabinet has appeared in the bunker.. or has it always been there who knows. Investigate and unlock the secrets within.

GOONS is a large unofficial expansion for ZERO Sievert built to feel like something that could exist naturally alongside the base game. It adds a new storyline centered around a strange locked cabinet in the bunker, eventually pulling you into new characters, quests, locations, systems, secrets, and some increasingly questionable business beneath Zakov.

Along the way you'll encounter new NPCs, weapons, attachments, consumables, collectibles, quests, custom encounters, progression systems, hidden areas, arena fights, betting, farming, bunker upgrades, rare loot, and more. A lot of the mod is designed around discovery, so not everything is meant to be explained up front.

Featuring:
250+ custom item IDs
3 custom weapons
22 weapon attachments
10 custom NPCs
22 full quests
30 collectible critters
5 collectible posters
19 consumables
4 custom ammunition types
3 armor sets
Custom farming and generator systems
Expansion Hub upgrades
Dynamic GOONS encounters across raid maps
Indoor and outdoor GOONS encounters
Chicken Arena matches, betting, abilities, and progression
ZaCoin economy and ATM system
Critter Poppers with rarity, pity, golden variants, and ultra-rare prototypes
New underground areas and secrets beneath Zakov
Hundreds of custom sprites and 75 custom sounds
And a frankly unreasonable amount of other stuff
A lot of this started with one little cabinet.
It got out of hand.

Hi all - this has happened twice but I can't find any info online. Is it a mechanic you can't "open a door" when under fire? In other words, when I pass over an entrance, I'm not prompted to "press [key/button] to enter" - This has happened twice during times when I expected to be able to use a door (entrance).

First it happened during Clear the Way and I had good loot: I couldn't go through a door to temporarily escape being shot at, but I figured there must have been a body on the entrance so I was getting "press [key] to loot" and I missed the option to scroll to "press [key] to enter". Oh well.

But it happened again just now and since it happened once I was expecting it again sometime. I have a screenshot below, of the door. I know in the screenshot I'm still just out of range of getting the "press [key] to enter" prompt. But before the screenshot, I took a few seconds while getting shot at to move ALL OVER the white circle, in all directions and on all edges, walking back and forth in and out of doorway range, and didn't get an entry key prompt.

Can anyone please tell me: is this an intended mechanic I need to always expect? Or is this a bug?

I've logged 142hrs in the game so far, and I don't feel like this should happen based off my gameplay experience and memories thus far.

Thank you for reading.

This door didn't give me a \"press [key] to enter\" prompt AT ALL which surprised me and I died a few seconds later from surprise and being thrown off

I don't see the fun of a creature that can spot you, dash across your screen & kill you in literally 2 seconds (and phase through you?)

I was enjoying the game a lot with forest/makeshift camp, but industrial is just miserable (blinks stood in corners, not walking, not making any steps & having 0 chance of even knowing they're there) and bigs just being annoying tanks that you have to cheese

Maybe i'm just doing something wrong but it's not like I can go on camp/forest and farm better gear, I can only farm Opel/Lazar and their armour sucks against blink/bigs anyway
