Multi-account exploit?

With my latest initial build, my first visitor was able to break my select 4 of 6 digit lock 6C4=15, so it is possible that it was by chance (1 in 15), anyway after entering he proceed to my vault before heading back and committing suicide on a commit trap despite the fact he had equipment and sight to see how to break it.

Moments later a second guy arrives he takes two steps and hangs himself despite not being trapped and had a ton of equipment.

Straight afterwards another guy appears with exactly the right tools to deal with my initial trap, and straight away solves the lock and proceeds to steal all of the loot in the vault, the odds that two independent occurrences of cracking the code is now (1/15)*(1/15)= 1 in 225.

At least this was the first exploiter not to wreck everything and kill my family. Though I am still annoyed about the numbers who people exploit the game.

Yep. It's a known problem, and a fairly annoying one for those who get hit by it.

Maybe you are using easy combos such as 1,3,5... 2,4,6 or 1,2,5,6 which most people can guess it... Try a harder combo next time

That might be the problem... my random combo ended up as one of those, a "Hard" combo is a properly random one. Still it uses sticky keys and a commit trap, so they can only choose one of the 3 options giving a 1 in 9 chance of being chance, something I'd now be happy to believe if there had not been the suicide tool drop in-between.

Going to start working on my order sensitive lock...

I shudder to think how much of the house that'll take up, even making it as compact as possible. Gonna want a lot of wall-dogs... at least I would.

Managed to make it fit in quarter of the house 4 buttons (4P4 giving 24 options), plus power and breaker that appear as dummy buttons. Not been broken yet but been brute forced, though laughed at the guy who brute force the door and then ran onto the electric floor behind it
