Physicus Hints

What do I do with the Water Wheel generator?

  • 1 of 7: Just go around behind it and pull the handle.
  • 2 of 7: Uh-oh.  You need another long piece of metal to replace it.
  • 3 of 7: There's an iron rod on top of the Submarine.
  • 4 of 7: Put the iron rod in place and pull it.
  • 5 of 7: Once it's running, you can set the controls, but you don't know how yet. (See end game.)
  • 6 of 7: The next hint gives the settings, but takes away some of the fun.
  • 7 of 7: Set it to 8000 turns, and press any of the squares.  Remember which color you used.  Whichever color it was, don't use it on another generator.
