Hi,
Why does my main path collapse even with Royal Access Chamber locked at the end?
I’m trying to understand something about Temple stability and I’m clearly missing a mechanic.
I placed a Royal Access Chamber in my main path. The path is a straight line, no loop. At the end of that path, I used a lock. So from my understanding, the chain should be stable.
However, even without any loop and with the path locked at the end, the chain still collapses in the middle.
I don’t understand why this happens.
I thought:
No loop = safe
Lock at the end = protected chain
But clearly that’s not how it works.
Does Royal Access Chamber not count as a stabilizing room?
Does the lock only protect the final room and not the whole chain?
Is there some hidden dependency (Generator, Spymaster, etc.) that affects stability even in a straight path?
If someone could explain the exact mechanic behind why a straight locked chain can still collapse, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks.
