> Hi - for the past however long I've been desperately trying to get into the sandstone caverns. I'm fairly sure I know where they are, and I think there must be something I need that I don't have already. Most other people at my point seem to have stuff like dynamite, matches, a noise filter headset, peryolithium key etc. Here's my inventory:

> Passcard (CQ30021)

That's all you need to get one of the items you mentioned (you don't need to get this item, but you do eventually need to explore the general area where it's found). Remember any sort-of-restricted areas you couldn't enter at first?

> Pickaxe

That's all you need to get to the sandstone caverns, but I'm not sure how close you are. Have you opened the second barrier yet?

> Dragon Key

You'll need to use this on the Corolis if you haven't yet (just check around the doors you haven't been able to get into -- not in the CQ areas since those doors are passcard-locked).

> Crowbar

The crowbar is the most important item in the game, of course. Just thought I'd mention that.

> Golden Necklace

There's someone on the Corolis who might like to have this, based on what you know of him.

> Business Card

There's another person who'll trust you if you show them this. It'll help with another of the difficulties you mentioned.

> Cigarettes

There's yet another person who might like to take a smoke break from the tedious job they're doing. That'll help with another thing you mentioned.

> Any help much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Those are the things you can move forward with at this point, I think. Just take a tour of the station and talk to everyone again (and check the locked doors). But if you want to focus on the sandstone caverns for now, there's nothing else you need to do on the Corolis first.
