Title: Help on the furthest Planet!
Post by: Kman on December 12, 2009, 20:08:03

Hey guys,

I'm on the Planet in the lowest right corner of the map, (can't remember the name of the planet) and i'm Stuck!
I've been doing the programming puzzles, and not having too hard a time with them, BUT!

The third puzzle has got me completely stumped. I can't figure out the system on how to combine the function with the main-part, to solve the puzzle. Image attached.

Any help?

- Loving the game btw.

EDIT: Wait.. I'll write a hint...

Hmm... take the nearby ones first.. ehm...
argh.. I don't know how to hint..  :shocked:

Those function puzzles are my favorite ones so far.

There is a hint in-game that IMO makes them a lot easier:

Did you check the PDA's solver info?

I did this puzzle without looking at that, so I don't know how much it would've helped, but take a look at it anyways.


I can't remember the solution myself.  What I do remember is that

My function didn't have enough moves in one direction for a long time.  At some point, I realized I needed to add an extra step to it at some point and I had to walk around a bit of a circle at the very beginning before using it so that I could save one move and use a function to pick up both blue things in the upper right at the end.

Edit: It seems my solution was different from Lightning Eagle's.  Either that or I'm not remembering my own solution well.

I used a totally different one! :P

Spoiler: Another solution (click to show/hide)

Main: < ^ > > v v v v FUNC FUNC
Func: > ^ ^ ^ ^ >

I completely forgot the hint system! xD
When I began playing I found that on the menu, but then I totally ignored it... :S
And there are some puzzles which took me quite a while to figure out... How come I never remembered using that? xD

The programing puzzles were also some my favorites, if not THE favorites. :)

Overall I think that gameplay-wise that is the stellar system I like the most. Nyquist-Meyer has the best puzzles and Gass Umbra the best platforming sections. =D

I guess those puzzles can be solved in several way.
The heart shaped one was the hardest to me.

Thanks everybody, that did the trick...

I had completely forgotten the hint feature existed :)

Yeah, I also remember looking at it for a long time.

Requesting a guide for the heart shape puzzle.

Thanks.

A semi-spoilery hint:

Did you know you can use your PDA's "device solver" to find the entire correct function for all of the puzzles on that planet?

Knowing this makes things a lot easier.

I used the hint system very liberally on these puzzles.  They're brilliant, but they were making my head hurt.  Anyway, I just wanted to say that the hints provided by your PDA are a huge help.  They give you someplace to start.  If you work from there you should be able to figure out even the hardest of the puzzles.  What I like about the hints is that they don't solve the puzzle for you.  They just get you going.

There were hints? :O :jawdrop: Oh well. The puzzles weren't too hard if you just thought about them long enough.
