Facility 09 tutorial troubleshooting
Stuck in Facility 09? Check CREATE, the yellow deposit vent, hay objectives and CARRY I funds before treating tutorial progression as a DomBlox game bug.
Check your tutorial stage before assuming a bug: start a real run with CREATE, put hay into the yellow vent, and make sure you can afford CARRY I. A disabled BUY button in the reported UI indicates insufficient cash.

Work through these checks.
- 01
Read the active tutorial tracker.
- 02
Check whether the hay was deposited into the yellow vent.
- 03
Check your current balance and select CARRY I at the terminal.
Still standing in the lobby
The reported opening starts only after using the PLAY elevator, choosing the squad size and pressing CREATE. A game title loading successfully does not mean you have launched a Facility 09 run. Check the current launch screen instead of trying to collect a tutorial target in the lobby.
Five straws, but not five in your hands
Read the tutorial target and the carry counter separately. The reported tutorial asks for five straws across the opening sequence, while the pictured carry counter is smaller. A capacity limit does not automatically mean progress is stuck. Make additional trips when your hands are full and verify which tutorial objective is currently active.
The hay disappeared but cash did not increase
The described cash-in point is the yellow DEPOSIT HAY vent beside the terminal. Hay dropped on the route is not a successful deposit. Move to the labelled destination and watch the current balance or objective. This guide cannot confirm a server bug from a failed drop alone.
The BUY button is grey
In the reported terminal, unavailable BUY means the selected upgrade costs more than your available cash. Select the tutorial's CARRY I entry and compare the displayed price with your balance. The report lists $5 for CARRY I; if the current price differs, follow the current screen and report the changed value. Do not buy an unrelated option just because it happens to be highlighted.
When the guide and screen really disagree
First match the Place ID and creator. Then note the date, device and exact objective text. A useful correction includes the specific action and visible result, with private details removed. We do not recommend reinstalling, paying for a pass or resetting progress as a generic fix; those actions are not established by the sources for this tutorial.
If you’re stuck
- Nothing starts in lobby: launch through PLAY and CREATE.
- Counter stopped: compare the exact objective, not another game's guide.

Which exact Roblox game does this page cover?
Needle In A Haystack by DomBlox Games, Place ID 110954432401277. Match both the ID and creator before following the instructions.
What if my game looks different?
Check the Place ID first. If it matches, a game update may have changed the UI; use the current official page and send a correction.
Why can’t I buy CARRY I?
Check that you started a run, completed the shown collection/deposit objectives and have enough cash for the terminal’s current price. The report lists $5.
Does a different hay counter prove the game is broken?
No. Collection objectives, deposited totals and carrying limits can be different counters. Read each label before comparing the numbers.
