Incremental Hints for Some Puzzles
By bohedo
Incremental Hints to some puzzles. Some times you just need a tiny nudge to help you figure out a puzzle instead of a complete walk through. This guide does that.

These are the puzzles I found the hardest.
- Scrubber Gene Sequence Puzzle
- STEM Engram Transfer Puzzle

If you are stuck, you probably missed a location. Sometimes when you ping, lines to areas you haven't discovered yet won't show up.

Scrubber Gene Sequence Puzzle
Mac needs to enter the correct gene sequence in to the proto scrubber, but he doesn't which genes to select or which order they should be entered.

  1. Are there any images that look like the gene editor inteface?
    1. Mac and Moses have access to all the relevant images.
    1. The only relevant images are the ones with letters in them (XX, C1, G1, U1)
  2. Perhaps some genes can be excluded or included
    1. XX means not to use any of the red colored genes
    1. The image with A1, A3, A2, A4 is a red-herring.
    1. There are diagrams that have C1, G1 and U1 written out.
    1. There is an image that says 'Note to self: start with A1'.
    1. Only A1, C1, G1 and U1 are used
  3. Maybe there are clues indicating the gene insertion order.
    1. Note to self: start with A1.
    1. The diagram next to the flesh monster has a circular arrow in the middle which indicates the sequence should be entered clockwise
  4. Answer: The sequence is A1, U1, C1, G1.
STEM Engram Transfer Puzzle
These hints are for the puzzle where Mac has to transfer Calaban's engrams to the fresh STEM.

The right hand shows the engrams from Calaban's current STEM. The left-hand side has an entry pad with 9 buttons each with 12 symbols. Each button's position corresponds to a number in the sequence underneath the pad. It starts at 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0. Clicking on a button increments the corresponding number by one.

  1. Some of Calaban's engram codes are corrupted. Maybe there is a backup somewhere. Do the symbols look familiar?
    1. Charlie has access to a diagram containing those symbols. It's a copy of Calaban's memory engrams before its were corrupted. It's in the room where the STEM was cloned.
  2. How do the symbols in the diagram relate to the uncorrupted engrams?
    1. Where are the '12' and 'A' symbols located in the diagram compared to the engrams?
      1. Is there an order to both the diagram and the engrams?
      1. The diagram is ordered from top to bottom (1 - 9). The engrams are ordered from 1 - 9 like a number pad.
  3. Is some of the sequence already known?
    1. The first 3 engrams and the last engram aren't corrupted and can be entered as shown.
    1. Enter 1.4.7.0.0.0.0.10
  4. Can the file be used to determine some of the missing engrams?
    1. The 4th and 5th rows aren't any help but the next three rows have some information
      1. How many squares are filled from left to right in these three rows?
      1. Enter 1.4.7.0.0.9.6.5.10
  5. There are two missing symbols. Does that mean there are 11x11 combinations?
    1. What do the shown symbols have in common (or rather not in common)?
      1. Symbols don't repeat. Meaning there are only 4 combinations left to try
  6. Answer: 1.4.7.3.2.9.6.5.10

Nice guide, one remark on your sollution to the STEM Engram puzzle which frustrated me to no end.

The hints and sollution after 5 seemed to me like pretty big leaps of logic, as was the assumption that you are supposed to interpet it as a number pad with 9 options even though the game gives you 12.

What you probably missed, and so did I untill i got stuck in the puzzle after this one, is that the final 2 number can actually be found.

They are listed in green text when you open the STEM holder in the maintenance pannel (the location where you got one of the NUMEN, it takes 2 seconds roughly when you open the panel before the green text shows up.

There it list the following text :

"STEM MEMORY ENGRAM [X.X.X.3.2.9.X.X.X] NOT FOUND"

This seems therefore more like the intended way of figuring out the last 2 digits.
