Voyage Hints

All I got was purple smoke.

  • 1 of 6: This is not bad.  What did the "bug" tell you about purple smoke?
  • 2 of 6: Purple smoke indicates that you have put a correct item into the hopper of the Purifier (i.e., one that is part of a verifiable formula, or "recipe"), but the machine malfunctioned.  (This information is also entered into your log.)
  • 3 of 6: What would cause the machine to malfunction, if you used the correct input?
  • 4 of 6: This happens when it overheats while processing your input.
  • 5 of 6: And the overheating is due to the four valves sticking.
  • 6 of 6: You need to fix the stuck valves.
