Finding the descent
Vergusha places Agglomeration 5 behind the Sphere. Their landmarks are three ventilation openings glowing red and a temperature-anomaly notification. Descend through the opening to reach the fan. An initial access refusal is documented here; it is not evidence that you have found the wrong building.
Return to the fan and power the Sphere
After completing the transmission, Capn’ Cattlehammer returns to Agglomeration 5, shuts down the fan and enters the chamber. Activate its three injectors to restore Sphere power. The route places transmission before fan access; repeatedly attempting the fan before that step does not complete the described prerequisite.
October 1 fixes
The developer’s October 1 notes report fixes for excessive Player.log growth, graphics performance and a Sphere exit softlock. They also cover navigation to the Sphere and Service Depot, incorrect cardinal hints, a marker-button prompt, district-name display and localization typos. Compare these specific changes with your symptom; the announcement is not a guarantee that all performance problems are solved.
