Half-Life Hints
How do I get into the residue processing plant?
1 of 7: The only thing nearby is a large water tank.
2 of 7: It has some pipes that lead into the residue processing plant, though.
3 of 7: But how to get into the water tank? It has a strong wooden cap floating at the top, preventing things from getting into the water.
4 of 7: But, if you could drain the water, the cap would sink and you might have access to the empty pipes.
5 of 7: There is a flow control wheel on the outside of the tank. Turning it drains the water in the tank. Turning it again refills the tank.
6 of 7: Turn the wheel to drain the water and dash up the ladder.
7 of 7: Hop onto the wooden cap and ride it down until you have access to the pipes.
