First, creating this topic was amazing, cause I felt a bit like Ponch for a second.
Now, I'm having this problem.
Spoiler
Near that tank that has fallen over the cliff, yeah, the postal tank, there's a mailbot that requires fixing, I'm using the Multi-power tool, but the puzzle with the splitter and the enhancer makes no sense to me... i have no idea what to do really. So any hints or instructions or if they are in-game and I missed them, would be great. I'd like a direct solution in case i need it. Just leave it lying there.
Feel like me? Baby, you practically are me. You do more to promote the Barn Runner games in this community than I do! ;)
Anyhoo, in regards to the Mailbot puzzle:
Hint 1:
It's a math problem.
Hint 2:
Spoiler
(a plus or minus b) (divided or multiplied by c) (plus or minus another set of numbers) == 18 )
Hint 3:
Spoiler
((4+2) (x 2)) + (5 + 1)) = 18
Hint 4:
Picture of the solved puzzle (http://www.barnrunner.com/otherstuff/Mailbot_Puzzle.png)
I feel I'm closing in!
Spoiler
I need a clue on where to look about that canvas that May needs. I got the crayons already. And i have the pickle, so all I need is the wild onions. Then cow will give me the onions, i'll give the items bla bla, get a burger, and see Eileen Delroy ()hopefully). And a clue on how to get on the postal bunker would be nice. Unless the first clue connects there, so I'm good.

Postal Bunker
Spoiler
Have you fixed Mailbot yet?
If so, when you talk to him about the wreck, Prick will offer to go to Bobbi's place and get a tow truck.
Spoiler
Of course, when you ask her, she'll say her tow truck is broken. She recommends looking for Farmer Brown and his big tractor. So start looking in places where he might go. And there's only place that everyone in town has to go... for all their shopping needs... ;)
Once you've met Farmer Brown, you can borrow the tractor and save Maibot. After that, just go back to the Postal Bunker and talk to the sentries again. They'll let you in just like they promised they would when you offered to go find Mailbot. Take the package to the cow and the rest should fall in place! :D
Hope that helps!
Spoiler
What package? I already got there, and i got the pickle creek and pony ranch and mr.brown's farm.

The cow sends you to the Postal Bunker to get a package for her. It's a large yellow rectangle (not the small brown box you find at the Amish farm).
Spoiler
Talk to Cole, the guy standing inside the mail vault and he'll put it on the table for you. Take it and give it to the cow and you'll have another transmitter up. :)
I can not find the crayons.

Did you try buying some at the General Store? When you do, Clem says he stopped carrying them because a certain group kept stealing them.
Hint:
Spoiler
After he complains about the orphans stealing them, he tells you to go to the truck stop and steal from them for a change. To the car!
Look around and talk to the new person you find there. What you'll need to make the trade should be pretty clear once you've spoken with her.
Thanks for playing. I hope that helps. :)
Spoiler
Ponch, if you have a walkthrough txt, please provide. The cow never sent me for a package, all the cow wants is me to pose and to do that, I have to give May, crayons(done) and canvas(no idea where to get one).

If you unlocked the location of the Postal Bunker, then she sent you on the mission to fetch the package. That's the only thing that will unlock that location.
Spoiler
Once you've helped Mailbot get his tank back up the hill, go back to the bunker, talk to the sentries on the roof, go inside, show your badge to the guy standing against the wall, and he'll let you in the vault. Once inside, talk to the guy with the eye patch, tell him you're here to pick up a package. He'll put it on the table. Take it back to the cow and give it to her. That will set up the transmitter.
Try that and let me know if it works.
Hello!
I need a

But I do not know what I need to combine with the

If indeed this is the right course of action at this time. Help a dudebro in the making out? ;D

Go to the outlet/WC of the Hermit and use what you get there on the rat poison. When you use that on the pool of liquid in the junkyard, get the dead rat with the multi-tool and bla bla bla.

Nevermind. In typical fashion, once posted you can solve it yourself.

It's in the fair grounds.

Don't you just hate it when that happens? And here I was ready to ride to the rescue and everything! ;)
I found that thing by "pure random" clicking... Holy cow it is too easy to be missed!
Would you please at least make them just a little bit more "observable" in the future?

It was actually even smaller in the earlier builds. The play testers finally convinced me do embiggen it. I see I may have to embiggen it even further. :=

Sounds like a perfectly cromulent idea. :)
Spoiler
Maybe put it in the middle somewhere, or near the place they had the fire.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it some thought.
I hope the game has otherwise been worth your time. :)
Still stuck early on...
Spoiler
I got to the point where I can pump fuel around in the other fuel station but I still need to fix the one near Prick. Found the shoe.

Try search it a bit harder. May be some where you can search more than once?
Or think this way: when you lost something, where is the most likely place you would search?

Even more hint-y!
Spoiler
Keep searching the big cardboard box until you find the fuel chip. It may take a few tries. There's a lot of junk in there.
I hope that helps. :=
I am stuck again. Posting this may work and I'll figure it out shortly. :)

Where are the ranch cigarettes for Eileen?

Where you'd expect to find them... If you were color blind. ;)

There's a pack in the cigarette machine, behind the green menthol packs.
They must have been put there by accident., I guess. 8)

Have you gotten June's dress back yet?
Spoiler
After you do, she tells you that her sister, April, just climbed over the wall of the Delroy Estate and snuck out.
Go there and you should find what you're looking for. :)
Completed it with (almost) none external help ;D.. Loved the puppet show.
Also a strange thing happened to me. While I was in trucker's stop, suddenly music changed. Loud music started playing, as if coming from a demon-possesed guitar. Things become normal after a while. So I guess trucker's stop is haunted ;)...

Well, it's likely that more than one trucker has died in that men's room (Prick can't be there to save them all). Maybe one of them also like to play the guitar? ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing!

Hi Tina. I'm glad to help. There aren't really any hints to give regarding the door puzzle. So here's the solution:
Spoiler
The following controls are used to solve this puzzle: The four yellow buttons (labeled A through D), the two handles on the side (Upper Handle and Lower Handle), the Lock / Unlock knob, the green “Next Step†button, and the “Push To Cycle†button.
Let’s take the solution to this puzzle step by step.
· Click the green “Next Step†button four times to read the instructions.
· Turn the knob to “Unlockâ€
· Press the “C†button. Press “Next Step.â€
· Press the “D†button. Set the handles to Upper: Up and Lower: Down. Next Step.
· Set the handles to Upper: Up and Lower: Up. Next Step.
· Press the “A†button. Set the handles to Upper: Down and Lower: Up. Next Step
· Set the handles to Upper: Down and Lower: Down. Next Step.
· Press the “B†button. Set the handles to Upper: Up and Lower: Down. Next Step
· Press the “A†button. Turn the knob to “Lockâ€. Press “Push to Cycle.â€
That should do the trick. :)
Not hardcore enough. Kids these days. :D

To be fair, several people got stuck on that puzzle. And not everyone lives and breathes Barn Runner like the super fan that you are, Dual. ;)
I have found the fuel chip and a lot of stuff from the box but dont know what to do now, can you help thanks
Tina,
Spoiler
Use the fuel station next to the white car and pump all the fuel into the tank on the far left of the screen. Take the fuel chip to the robot waiting next to blue car. Once he fixes the second fuel station, pump all the fuel into the blue car.
That should take you on to the next part of the game. :)
I have done as you said, he is in the car fixing it but i cant do anything else, i have talked to him about everthing but cant do anymore thank you
Quote from: Tina on Thu 21/07/2011 14:54:10

Once you've given the fuel chip to the green robot (not the guy in the car), you should be able to transfer the fuel at the fuel station (the big white piece of machinery next to the blue car). Once you've pumped all 10 points of fuel into the blue car, then that part of the game will end and the next part will begin. :)
Im stuck again, can you give me a hint on the rat problem, i have the rat poison, also cant do anything where the truck over the cliff is, how do i get the rope to tie to the tree? thanks

Hello again!
To make the rat poison potent enough to kill the belching, radioactive rats, you'll need to mix it with something that addresses their flatulence.
Spoiler
There's a bottle of gas pills in the outhouse behind the tar paper shack. Once you buy some meat from the hermit, go inside and take the pills. Use them on the box of rat poison and then use that improved rat poison on the big green puddle in the junkyard.
As for the rope needed to get down to the tank, when you find June's missing dress, ask her about her sisters.
Spoiler
She'll mention how her kid sister, April, used a vine to climb over the walls of the Delroy Estate. Go there and use the pocket tool to cut the vine down. Use the vine on the tree to climb down to the wrecked tank.
Thanks for playing! :)
I am at a dead end now, i cant find junes dress and havnt seen anyone called eileen to give the cigs to? I cant do anything at the cow, and cant find meat for the guy who has june, i cant do rats as i havnt found the outhouse, its a great game but im stuck help thanks

Here's a walk through. (http://www.barnrunner.com/otherstuff/BR5-3_Solve.zip) It should answer all your questions. :D
Okay I'm super stuck at every part! Don't know what to do about the rats, can't find June, don't have rope for the mail truck, what to do at the bridge to get the ancient barn thingy. Just need one little hint on any of these to get me going please :)

It's all sort of interconnected, so it's hard to give just one clue.
June:
Spoiler
Have you spoken to the orphan kid in the truck stop arcade yet? If so, you know he wants some meat before he'll release June. Drop by the Amish farm and take the package by the mailbox. Look at it and that should point you in the right direction.
Bridge & barn model:
Spoiler
You'll need a way to hook the model and reel it up to you. Look around for an old fishing rod (probably where a lot of old stuff is lying around. Then you'll have to find a hook for it. Maybe you'll find something useful in the newspaper.
Rats:
Spoiler
Bobbi said she already tried regular rat poison and it didn't do much. You'll probably have to get some rat poison (easier just to buy it, I suspect) and find something to add to it that will make it more tailored to the gassy rats in the junkyard.
Hopefully that will help you start to make some progress. :)
