Snooping doesn't always work

[Pruvan]

A hidden entrance in Core City does not reveal itself without having 11 Perception, even when you have the Snooping feat supposedly pushing you to 13 Perception for this very purpose. This seems to suggest that Snooping won't always work as intended, which is kind of problematic since that is literally its only purpose.

I assume that hidden entities need to be flagged manually to be "Snoopable", which would explain this issue. Either that or something else is going wrong under the hood. The way the Snooping code works probably needs to be looked at again to prevent this sort of thing from being able to happen in the first place. If one of these hidden entities isn't working properly, then there's bound to be more.

I've included below a link to a save file at the relevant location, with a level up ready to be used on the character. You can see how increasing Perception makes the hidden entrance visible, while increasing Snooping's effectiveness does not:

The secret ladder require 14 per, if that's what you're talking about.

No it doesn't, it only requires 11 Perception. Snooping simply doesn't work.

Here's another save with an 11 Per character without Snooping:

This is a bug indeed. Fixed for the next update. Changes will not apply on the current playthrough if you've already visited the zone/check in question.
