Hi all Turbo here playing Voyage now can't seem to get a handle on the base 20 math any teachers out there?
Please hep me!!!

Turbo,

You should see 2 numbers on the panel and 2 numbers on the floor in front of the panel.
Those are the numbers you will add.
One dot is 1and a bar is 5.
You add the right number on the panel to the right number on the floor. Same goes for the left number.
The only change is that if you add the right numbers and it goes over 20; then one is added to the 2 numbers on the left. For example: the sum is 23 of the right numbers. Then 3 is kept on the right column and one is added to the left columm numbers.

Hi Turbo and Mag,

I'm just starting Voyage too. I guess I am about where Turbo is, only I don't even see any numbers on the floor! I see green lights on the panel right of gate, but don't know what to do with them.

And math isn't my thing either....

Mag, said I'd see you soon..well here I am and glad you are, too!

Turbo, let me know how you are doing.

Misskedi

Misskedi,

You might be at a different panel than where the base 20 is used. Can you tell us eactly where you are located and also what you see on the panel.

Misskedi are you locked behind gates at the top of the Necropolis?

Sue

Thanks MaG and good luck Misskedi it sounds like your at the pad on the other side of the gate.
Turbo

I have another question do you need to keep learning the language on the pad to earn more points?

Turbo unless you are extremely good with sound puzzles, I'd find a different way to gain intelligence points. You can go in and out of the Necropolis gates, feed Ardan potions that you've cooked up [please keep a glass of water near by just in case] and take the written Selenite test to identify symbols.

Sue

Hi,
I'm still confused about the math puzzles, but will keep working on it.

I can get to elevator and get to some of the floors. I got to the Selenite dignitary. Did the learn to read and speak Selenite, so have some more intellegence. Did some selling to him.
That's where I am right now.

One question for now...at beginning of game, do I need to make all the grafted seedlings, plants and compotes I can and save pots of them? I never seem to have the right color of fruits,etc. when I need them. I got into section where I got some red fruit, can't find right fruit to get back there again . So, guess what I want to know is, should I do all I can of these things before I can go on to other parts of game.?

Hope you can figure out what I mean

Misskedi

Misskedi you only need to feed the Selenites in this area the fruit compotes that will allow you access to their areas to pick up things you may have tossed out of the space ship. You do need to make some grafted seedlings to get past the aggressive plants. I believe that you can grab fruits off the ground in the guarded areas once you have calmed the plants. As to making tons of hybrid plants, you'll be able to make plenty after you get to the top of the Necropolis.

Sue

Thanks again ,
I looked at all 5 areas and picked up everything , I think. I got to Necropolis, enough points to get my key 1 and use elevator.

So am now at the level of exploding mushrooms and the math process there. Not doing well there, but hope to figure out the base 20 business sooner or later!!

Guess as it is a random puzzle, I will have to figure it out myself. Been reading all replies to others having same problem, so will keep on trying.

Misskedi

Hi Misskedi. Just be sure to add the numbers on the floor to your total. Remember a bar is equal to 5 and a dot to 1. Anything over 20 on the right side is carried over as a 1 to the left side. So if the total on the right is 23...........the answer on the right would be 3 dots and you would add one extra to the left side total.
Good luck and if you continue to have problems, feel free to send me your saved game and I'll solve the puzzle for you and return your game.

Sue

Hi again,
I am getting a little further into the game but stuck again
2 questions... I now need the #3 key and tells me I have to put back the four items I got from where I got them. I have the globe filled with something. Do I empty that out and get all things back Later?

Other question.... I am by the purifier and need grease to make it work. But I make the stuff I need and try to use it on purifier and of course it doesn't work!!

I find it kind of hard to follow the wt and maybe I'm getting ahead of where I should be.

Hope you can help

Misskedi

Hi Misskedi. Yes you can be sneaky and put the globe back, get the key and go back and get the globe to use again. OR, you can just buy a globe to use and not worry about making the big guy angry.
If you made the correct stuff for the grease, you should be able to use it on the valves without any problem. Are you mixing the Zubroo with the secretion to make the grease?

Sue

Hi,
Ok about the globes. I can always catch more mushrooms I guess, so will dump that globe, if I can.

About the grease mixture, no I haven't added it. I don't remember seeing anything about Zubroo. Can you tell me what it is or how to make it? Guess I missed that along the way, unless it is in the Log, which I sometimes forget to read!!

Misskedi

Misskedi you need to make a compote of the purple and red fruits and put it in the purifier. You will have to use the repaired mechanical arm to keep the vents of the machine from burning your mixture. Once you have finished, you will have Zubroo and can mix it with the secretions you have picked up and you will have made a greasy substance to use on most of the machines to keep them from sticking.

Sue

Hi again,

I made the compote of purple and red fruit and frying pan. Clicked it on fire then on purifier and it says "It doesn't work" And get the message that purifier still has one problem to fix with this machine.

Could it be that I haven't used the glue at all the spots ? I think I tried that already ,but didn't do anything.

Vents just keep saying I need the grease.

Did you already repair this machine? You need to find a shovel to use at the base of the machine, a belt goes on the wheel on the right side and you need a glass globe to put on the top of the machine. Have you already done these things? Have you repaired the mechanical arm already?

Sue

Yes, to all of these, but I think the shovel folded up on me or somehow dissapeared!. Maybe I'm messed up there. Will check that out. I just tried bringing the shovel back to the purifier, but can't find any place to use it!!

I try to put the compote in the box right in center under the machine, right?

Really confused.

Misskedi the compote goes at the bottom of the machine, where you placed the shovel earlier. Just take your skillet with the cooked compote in it and click on that area.
If you can't get it to work, send me your saved game and I'll see if I can't figure out what might be wrong.

Sue

Sorry to be so much trouble. I found out I didn't put the empty globe on the LEFT side. Was one one the right but not on left. So my purifier works fine now.

I can get back into shell ,getting ready to back to earth. Got my Key3 also.

I made powder for blue rocket, but don't have any left for the red one. I had sold box of cartridges and bought them back for blue rocket.

Also lost my can opener, will try to find another I guess??

Don't know how anyone can get threw game without this wt. Thanks so much for help and hope you can get me through to the end.
Misskedi

Misskedi have you already made extra explosive powder? You will need some for the shelf in the room where your space capsule is. You will also need to make some potassium to take with you in the space capsule. Have you contacted Earth and gotten everything that you need from them already? If you haven't, you will need to repair your can opener by either making some gluance in the purifier or by buying some.
Good luck

Sue

Hi,

Thanks for reminder to contact earth. Will that help me get another can opener?

I don't know how I can make any more explosive powder, as I sold my cartridges, bought them back, and used them to make my blue rocket. But have only an empty red rocket.

WT says use "barrel of powder or cartridges to get explosive powder", but I have none in inventory. So how can I make more? I have an empty red rocket which I need to fill. Will I maybe be able to get some from Earth? I will contact Earth and see what happens.
Got the Control box , but can't fix mirror yet, will try that again.
I sure don't want to start this game all over again!! as I am so close to end. I'm enjoying it very much, maybe will have to ask you for a saved game from after putting the exiles back where they belong.

Sure glad there's a place like this to get help, THANKS

I'll keep working at it................

Misskedi you can make explosive powder in the purifier easily enough, you also can make the glue you need. Purple and green fruit made into a compote and put into the purifier will give you a substance, add some of the secretions that you probably have in inventory and you should end up with something called gluance I believe. That will be the glue you need for the can opener and I think the mirror.
You can make explosive powder by grafting a red and purple plant and putting it into the purifier then mix that powder with an exploding mushroom.

Sue

Got can opener fixed. Contacted Earth, got new picture called "Lumenplay" Don't understand it's secret. Where do I put the numbers about the hours in day and night hiding their face?

In the explosive powder I think I missed putting in the mushroom spores. Will try that again.

Then MAYBE I will be able to get through this game.

Thanks again
