Machinarium Hints
How can I repair the lift?
1 of 9: You're going to need to get that piece of metal off the stove pipe first.
2 of 9: While you have control of the female robot, grab the corncob from the cupboard.
3 of 9: Place it on the stove (moving the pot to the floor first).
4 of 9: This will create popcorn coming from the chimney, and will knock the metal to the floor.
5 of 9: You can now give the metal to the female robot, who can use it (while standing atop the pot) to reach the cabinet at the top of the room.
6 of 9: There's a pipe inside, but it's frozen.
7 of 9: To unfreeze it, simply heat it up.
8 of 9: Put the pot back on the stove, and put the pipe in the pot.
9 of 9: You can then attach the pipe to the oil and give it to the male robot outside, and he will siphon oil to the lift to power it.
