Physicus Hints

What do I do with the Submarine generator?

  • 1 of 9: To get it running, just push the Fire button.
  • 2 of 9: After you've melted the ice in the barrel on top of the Submarine.
  • 3 of 9: Use the spotlight.
  • 4 of 9: Then, from the furnace, go up and turn the wheel (you may have to back up once and then look up).  Listen to the water flow.
  • 5 of 9: Try that Fire button again.
  • 6 of 9: Now look at the controls.  This is the only generator without a smashed panel, so it may help you figure things out.
  • 7 of 9: We don't know how to set the controls yet (see end game).
  • 8 of 9: The next hint gives the settings, but takes away some of the fun.
  • 9 of 9: Set it to 5000 turns, and press one of the circles, just remember which one. Whichever color you choose, don't use it again at another generator.
