Title: Anastronaut II
Post by: Andy on Sat 01/02/2014 13:49:13
Hi everyone :)

I am really enjoying the look of this new game, but at the moment I am super stuck!

I have made it onto the bridge of the cargo ship, but the countdown is still going down...

Spoiler
When I look at the records on the computer a guard comes, and I have tried so many times to hide behind a column, but to no avail

Or maybe I don't need to deal with the guard, but is there a way to get a retina scan? I have a toilet roll with asbestos mould with a hole in it...

Thanks to anyone who can assist

Not made too much progress :-[

Spoiler
I got to the escape pod, and have a fully charged battery, but when I try to use the cable I get electrocuted.

I keep trying to cut the wire or tape the wire or somehow I can partially charge the battery?

Find a way to 'bake' dry your asbestos contraption and use it as an isolating medium.

Hi everybody, I'm a huge fun of Anastronaut!
Unfortunately I'm stuck 'cause I cannot open the airlock with the "pliers" in it. It keeps asking me for a code but I'm not able to find it!

Hey Foster Glad you're liking the series!

Spoiler

Every code in the game is obtainable FROM the game itself. So if you look around a little you'll find it. If you have a screw driver you can use it to unscrew the air vent from the first cell room...

Yey, I know what you mean but somehow I cannot "combine" the code I found with the entrance of the airlock! :cry:

To open the airlock door you don't only need the code. You must make sure of the gravity and pressure settings :)

Spoiler
To get into the escape pod you must have a safe-to-use cable and a charged battery.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Did you get the battery?

That's what I mean... I suppose I have to build one like in the previous game... or not?

Never repeat puzzles! :-D

Spoiler
The battery is in the main cockpit room. It's higher than your reach so you'll have to build a 'getter' tool using (metal chain + metal link ring + fiberglass + screws) then find an electrical outlet and charge the battery.

Commander Low if you have vision issues you can contact me for another version like the one mentioned here:

Anastronaut II: The Dark Side -CBV (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=49832.msg636482881#msg636482881)

Solution:
Spoiler
Make sure the most west basin is pink. Then it tints into orange as it proceeds north, and tints into blue as it proceeds south. The far east basin is green. If you still need help let me know I will upload a screenshot.

At the moment I am wandering from place to place. I guess I have to feed the seal... and that in order to fish I probably have to use the worm, but how?Which is the best place to "charge" the battery?

Actually I have done it before but thought it was not right because I receive this error:

Error: prepare_script: error -18 (no such function in script) trying to run 'hHotspot3_UseInv' (Room 55)

And this is the topic concerning it

I just checked it out, it is a test function that I forgot to remove. It doesn't have any effect on the game.

Anyway you are supposed to boost the battery from the 'Crafting Room' of planet Å .

Wow, I suddenly seem to have lost all my adventure gaming skills. :-D
I can't even solve the first puzzle.
Spoiler
I have the bottle (filled with water), the label and the toilet paper core. I've pushed the box all the way to the right (apparently smashing the chain attachement, but it's still attached from the top). Now I'm running out of ideas and start using everything on everything.
