Well, I was trying to get the grapple early via the dash-jump from main quarry, and managed to get into ore processing. Though silly me forgot that the grapple's on the other section of the top floor, and instead dropped to the third. After a while of playing around trying to find other ways up via jumping around on the spiderball track, I eventually gave up and tried to go back to the main quarry through research access, not feeling like treking all the way down through phazon processing. Silly me again, I forgot that there's an impassable spider track there, for ones without the spider ball.
However, to kill some time, I decided to play around a bit there. While I found that the litle metal bars jutting out from the door are actually intangible, it is easily possible to land on top of the door itself. Getting up there actually puts you on the bar going around the room, which you can walk around. Which leads me to some speculation... the spinning magnet things keep getting in my way, but it looks like, if I got my timing right, the next bar up from the botom set is easily within space jump reach. I'm going to fiddle around some more, perhaps it might be possible to climb that track using these bars?
If anyone knows for a fact that this won't work, by all means shoot me down now so I can stop wasting time; but until then, there's a dim hope...
