Missing 3rd gear in machine room.

**angelsonfire** · 03-12-2011, 03:16 AM

I accidentally threw one of the gears towards the main gear machine in the machine room, and now it has disappeared. I have checked everywhere the gears are supposed to be, as well as every nook and cranny in the machine room. It just disappeared. I cannot continue the game. I went back to a previous saved version, pre-machine room, but the third gear is still missing. Please advise!

Load a previous save. You can find them in load menu.

Hi, I did that. I used a saved game that started as I entered the storage room and went through the whole process. When I went to the machine room, the two gears were already in place where I put them, even though I still had to turn on the steam and place the rods. The third gear was still missing.

Load a save game from before you set the gears in place, then.

That IS what I did! I went to the farthest saved game I could (they don't go back very far, is there a way to get to all the saved games?) I opened in the guest room, before I had even gone into storage. So I went directly instead to the machine room just to see, and there were the two gears in place on the machine, even though I hadn't been there yet in this saved game. This seems to be a glitch in my game. Anyone know how I can email frictional games directly? I can't find any contact info on the site. Thanks.

ETA: I sent a message to support, hope to get an answer.
