Extra electric dial...

[Stop Mocking Me0]

See… I was playing origins today and I noticed something strange, the dials at gen. 5, both in church, wind tunnel, spawn, tank station, and bace of site are all used in the summoning of the electric staff's purple stone… 

 

However, there is a turnable dial in the workshop on the top floor just before the exit. It is possible to turn this dial however it is never used in the easter egg. Today I turned all the dials up til the last one, and spun this dial around, but it never even started sparking or making a whining noise. 

 

It is completely uninvolved with the lightning upgrade process… Yet there it is…. 

 

What could it do? More secrets?

Mocking, that dial is used for the lightning staff upgrade. It is already in the correct position for the step, so it is not necessary to turn it. Troll your friends and move that dial while they are doing that step ;)

Is it strange that I read the title of the post as Extra Electric Eel?

It is used, it is just preset. 

As for it nor sparking, it could be a simple visual glitch, or perhaps since it was preset it wasn't assigned a sparking animation.

I'm 70% (I swear I've done tests on it, but those were too long ago to remember vividly) positive that you cannot finish the lightning upgrade if that switch is in the wrong position, and I'm also fairly positive that that switch is locked in place after completing that upgrade just like all the others.

I don't think so. I've believed that for a while after reading it on this site, but someone made me look like a real asshole when I insisted this was the case and it turned out to not be true.

The dial at the No Mans Land exit in the workshop is not used for the lightning staff step and can be turned without causing interuption to the step.

It does lock up though after the step is completed but you can turn it prior to the step as many times as you wish and it won't affect the step in any way.
