[Spoilers] Getting past The Barrier needs a bit more clarification

[Uthael]

Those 8 stations that activate the portal...

After I collected all 8 upgrades, I tried:

- pressing F to interact

- increasing the size and CPU power of my ship to fit all at once

- getting to the exact center between them so I'm equally far from each

- checking if I can drop an upgrade near a station to make it collect the upgrade

- damaging a station

 

I've noticed there's a light on the tip. However, I assumed that light is just not rendering on other stations due to distance.

So I went to the Wiki to find out how to do it -.-

 

Suggestion: Make it more clear that the station is resonating with the installed upgrade in a nearby ship. Some charging animation, a weak version of the beam, some "empowering" sound, etc.
