What the sources establish

The 8 October plan distinguishes blue loaded loot from yellow sent contributions, adds Amount / Quota, and announces an exit hatch that opens when the quota is met.

Sourced details and our suggested next steps follow. Linked reports are observations, not verified fixes.

01 Read the labels, not just the colour

Read Amount / Quota and distinguish sent contribution from loot still loaded. If the amount is below the target, calculate that difference. If it reaches the target but the hatch stays closed, record both states and your build. A percentage alone does not identify why a run is stuck; this guide does not establish a rounding bug or a fix.

02 Use a two-step team callout

Try ‘contribution checked’ followed by ‘exit located’. Keeping the two calls separate stops a teammate from hearing ‘done’ and assuming every remaining step is already resolved. This is an editorial coordination method, not a required game command.

03 Choose who confirms the transition

One person reads the objective state; another confirms where the group is going. For a small team, one person can cover both. The benefit comes from saying the decision clearly, not from creating permanent roles or assuming an optimal team size.

04 If the exit does not behave as expected

Record the current objective display, the build, and what the hatch actually does. Compare those observations with the dated announcement. Do not keep repeating a beta interaction just because it appears in an older walkthrough. Use the official bug-report route if the current behaviour appears inconsistent.

05 Why does another group have a different target?

Patch 2 makes quota depend on lobby size. Copy your current Amount / Quota into the worksheet rather than borrowing a target from an older video. The calculator subtracts your entries; it does not predict the game’s scaling formula.
