Rama Hints
How can I clean the dirty tile pieces?
1 of 20: There's a cleaning machine located on the Central Plains.
2 of 20: You also need to make your own cleaning solution.
3 of 20: Or distill it.
4 of 20: There's a still on the wheel site.
5 of 20: It needs two ingredients.
6 of 20: One is near the still.
7 of 20: The item will fit in the hole on the still.
8 of 20: Put one of the mechanical seeds (growing in a field with small metallic mounds) in the hole.
9 of 20: One of the other astronauts found the other ingredient you need.
10 of 20: He/she even labeled it for you.
11 of 20: It's the powder in the refrigerator at the tent site. It will appear later in the game if it's not immediately available.
12 of 20: Put that in the other slot on the still.
13 of 20: Finally, turn the wheel to get the still running.
14 of 20: The cleaning fluid you made will be on the right side of the still.
15 of 20: Press the button to release some of the fluid from the still.
16 of 20: You can put the dirty tile pieces on the shelf just below the spout.
17 of 20: But the shelf itself is dirty, and you need to clean that first.
18 of 20: Press the button once before you put any tiles on the shelf. That will clean the shelf for you.
19 of 20: Now, you can put the tiles on the shelf and clean them by pressing the button again.
20 of 20: If you run out of fluid, the seeds will grow back. You need to leave and return to the wheel site first, though.
