Lise, there are four of them, you use the mechanical arm and click on whichever one is oozing red as soon as you can.

I did it.....
I was just too slow.

I understand that if you make and eat the yellow/green compote you "feel splendid" and are a little bit faster in some instances, like when catching an exploding mushroom...

Never occurred to me that the feeling splendid compote would help with the mushrooms! (I wish I'd known that before!)

I used it for the leaps, but didn't think to try it again after that.

I fixed the damaged flute and only have 287 points I cannot do the music puzzle It just does not work for me to get extra points. I can't go on until I have the level 2 key I need it after I talk to Scurvy. I ate several compotes and only got 2 points. I can't feed the Selenites because I have fed them already. I left and entered the necropolis 4 times and got no more points for doing so. I don't know what else to do. The musical machine is IMPOSSIBLE I play the organ and cant get the tones right. I could not believe it that it was that hard for me. I went to talk to Scurvy before getting the key and guess what my points are 299 guess I will go and try that darn frustrating music machine. It seems the only thing I can do now.

This game is not for me I guess. I just cant get past the 299 whatever I try. I went back to the music game and just cannot do it. I got some points when I ate the red and blue compote but it only happens once. I cant get anymore points by eating compote.

Try this Dutch - make a seedling of the blue fruit.
Graft that with the plant in a pot from the shell.
Plant it on the fertile soil in the cave.
That will get you over the 300 mark.

When I try to plant it in the soil I just get a hand cursor and it wont go there. Is the soil you are talking about in cave in the high place in the center of the moon plants that is where I tried to plant it.

Dutch make a seedling with blue fruit then combine that with the potted plant that was on the space craft with you. That combination you plant on the ledge that you jumped to. There's just a wee bit of soil on the edge.

Yes you can feed the Selinites more than once, but you need to "flush" their digestive systems by adding water to their 'mush mixture' in the kitchen, there is a nozzle for adding water to the mixture in the vats. Then you can feed them something else......
Don't forget to check in inventory your (not sure of title now) "stumbling around" (?) it shows every experiment you have tried and each seedling and hybrid you have made at least once. I think each item raises your score a little bit, not sure. Am still playing game second time and had a strange experience at the end. Forgot to make and add the potash to the "pot" on my shell and suffocated to death, but also it froze my game and I could not get a reaction from my cursor, could not open my inventory or anything had to get out of the game and go back to my last save to redo ending. Very strange reaction to my "death"

I am in the lab at the purifier trying to make grease. I forgot to take the belt and other things from the cabinet in the lumen room when I was there the first time I went back to the lumen room and the creature wont let me open the cabinet. How do I get the cabinet open to get the things I need?

Do the same thing over - make him feel splendid with a compote and placed in the food vat at the kitchen. Then he will be in a frenzy of work and you can take the stuff you missed in the cabinet.

Dutch, if you will make a compote of the green and yellow fruits and put it into the general food vat, you'll be able to get what you need from that Selenites area. Be sure you reverse it though with some water.
Good luck

Sue

I am in the transmitter room I have done everything required I can see the blue lumen in the trough but cannot pick it up with the empty can. I put the can up on the screen when I move to the trough with the cursor it does not change and nothing happens how do I fix this?

Dutch are you trying to get the blue lumen into the black can/jug that you had on the space craft with you?

Sue

Dutch, you click the can/jug on the trough and are not able to get the lumen? Is your jug empty?

Sue

trying to open door by exploding mushrooms just don't get the math worse than rama have three dots on lefy and four dots on right do I need to get both to add up to six just not getting it. I'm sure it's so simple but can't see it now

Never mind figured it out so simple it;s hard

Well, one deleted reply is not a big price to pay for you figuring this puzzle out Smitty. Good for you. I think you only have to do this type puzzle twice in this game.
Enjoy the remainder of your game.

Sue

yes the can is empty.

I got it figured out I didn't put the blue stuff in the hopper sorry!!!I hope I can explain this clearly. I had to use yellow and green compote to get the cabinet open in the lunar room. Thus Scurvy got the frenzies. I forgot to put water in the vat to clean out their stomachs. I have called the creatures to move the shell for me but when I went to ask Scurvy to tell them to help me he still had the frenzies. The only thing I can ask him is to repeat how to get the shell into the cannon. Do I have to go back and do the whole thing over again from where I gave them yellow and green compote to give them water right after I get the cabinet open to proceed and get the right answer from Scurvy?

Dutch, go back to the vat and flush it with water. Scurvy should be normal when you return to see him and request his assistance.

Sue

I did and it still does not work.

Have done all the things Scurvy wanted you to do?
Like lightening-painting the shell and tilt the shell off the precipice.

Yes I did everything I was supposed to do. I went back and started over at the essence machine it works fine up to step 7 it takes 4 measures instead of 3 in fact every time I push the middle button it takes 4 measures the first time it did it right but this time it just does not want to do it.
