WTF? What game are you talking about?
Kind of gives it away in the thread title....."Automation" ?
Go to Completed Games forum.
Ignor the above quote - i missed a very obvous hint!
Oh, crap. I thought that this was kinda like a general hint thread!
It says 'automation'. Kinda like 'automatic'... :-\
whoops! My bad!

Sometime some things just need a good kick in the behind! :wink"
Aww... crud. ;)
Thanks for the quick reply! The rest of the game went smoothly. Nice little game! Ending was a bit obvious though... ;)
I've just downloaded the fixed version, but now I'm unable to use the magnet's console? He says he won't do it.
In the old version, he did it but the game crashed afterwards.

I'm stuck here also. I've got the power on but I must have missed something because he says, "I have no reason to use that console." Can anyone help me with the puzzle I must have missed just prior to the console puzzle?
Is there a robot in the vicinity of the magnet? If not, you need to get him closer.
Spoiler
You've got to use the switch. (first of two pixel hunts ;))

Grrr! I can not find the above. Can you give me a step by step help please?
*edit*
Pretty please? :)
Spoiler
I have plugged the hose into the vacuum and got the robot near it. I got rid of the glass container and noticed I can pick up the other end of the hose. What now?
I'm stuck here too!
But i must admit, I'm not so excited to finish this game.
Just walking back and forth is not so thrilling.
seaduck -
Spoiler
did you put the container back where you got it from - you have to connect the other end of the hose to the container[\hide]
Spoiler
there is an emergency manual override switch on the second floor below you... Now, how could you reach that?
I've gotten past the water, but now I'm stuck. How do I get up the stairs?
Spoiler
Have you tried using your foot to "loosen" the robot yet?
I'm stuck... I got the robot over the water but it's still stuck, it won't go up the steps. I have a mop and a key card in my inventory. I hooked he hose up to the vacuum, but it won't let me do anything with it.
Nevermind, figured out what I was missing, beat the game.
I'm stuck!
Spoiler
I can't get the console to open the door below.Ã, It says there's something wrong with the wires.Ã, I've removed a hose, plugged in the magnet machine but can't use it.Ã, I'm not sure what I'm missing.Ã, Thanks in advance!
Nevermind, got it!Ã, Finished the game.
Ignore this post. For some reason a post that I tried to make as an unregistered guest went through after I registered. The double post wasn't intentional.
Spoiler
I've sucked the robot into a jar with the vacuum. As I'm walking back towards the other containment unit my character trips and drops the robot again. Is this the ending on the game? Or am I missing how to avoid this scenario?

Spoiler
underneath the plant experiment, there are two little drains.Ã, its a pixel hunt, but run your cursor on the floor, over the different colored tile.Ã, kick the tile, then push the broom down the drain and it'll activate the switch
oh, and im stuck on the magnet.Ã, i've pushed it over the water, but now, whenever i try and kick it loose, it just says " ow.. my foot"
I have gotten this far in the game
Spoiler
I have caught the robot with the magnet and now he is in the area right before the stairs. How do I get him up there. I need to get him closer before I can use the containment unit???
Where is Angela?
Asking after Tristero... is it the real game ending!? ???
No one has yet answered how to proceed after
Spoiler
you kick the robot off of the magnet but it still can't get up the stairs
After like 500000 hours.. or so it seems, I found the ridiculous hotspot to solve my problem... lol.
??? Um Where Do You Kick The Magnet That Has The Robot?
You don't.
Spoiler
You just push the magnet as far as you can.
And to release it you disconnect the wire from the socket.
