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.
