SpoilerShowThe last piece should not be fakeThe last piece I found to lock the door was fake....it is supposed to work as a regular piece just like the other pieces...the only thing I can imagine is that you need to click on the right area of the machine to put it in. If you miss that space it might happen that the hero throws it against the wall and it falls on the ground then. Sometimes the part gets "lost" in the stones in front of the machine then, or can hardly be seen lying on the ground. Can you describe the "fake" part more? How does the piece react when you try to put it into the machinery?
You could also try spawning a new machine part via the console, the required item name would be "machine_part_west".
Hope that helps, if not, please post again!
Besides, I read in a note about a secret alcove (pause: this can be in another module, my head is a mess

side note: I'm having a lots of fun with this module, very well designed, different and all those comments on the notes are really cool. "You know you don't need to catch everytinhg you find on the ground, right?" or something like that was cool. Also, in the mind maze when the ogres appear...creepy!
