How to open the closed metal door on the mansion

[hello_world]

I tried to use makeshift crowbar but it says “nothing to pry” and tried lockpick and it also says"nothing to lockpick. The closed metal door is behind the bookshelves.

Acetylene torch. Or pickaxe/jackhammer the wall nearby. I wouldn’t bother though, never found anything great in those closed sections.

Here are all the ways I know off:

You can open that steel door in multiple ways. The easiest one would probably be to use an acetylene torch on it to cut it open.
You can also blast it open with explosives.
You can smash it open with enough strength and some tools or a Sonic Resonator CBM.
You can dig through the wall on its side with a pickaxe or a drill.
And you might be able to send an NPC to loot the place, as this opens all doors (last I checked the code), but I’m not sure if that is fully implemented yet or how to do that.

As for blasting through it; it probably destroyes whatever’s behind the door, so apply with care.

I don’t think we’ve set it up but I still want to add a chance to find a survivor in the safe room.

you can jackhammer the metal door it self no need to do it on the wall if you want the metal materials

Are you sure about that? Typically metal door can be broken only with acetylene torches, while jackhammers tend to work on walls.
