There are times when you will use both dials Mome. Placing the nail where it is supposed to be can be tricky Mome. It took me a couple of attempts to seat it properly.

Hi Sue, I am in the observatory, 2nd time, trying to make beads. well, guess what I don't have red beads I have turquoise beads (I really like them better, can I keep them??? Also, for some reason the cursor won't go down to let me pick up some snow. I know it is supposed to because I have gone back several times to saved games trying to get red beads & had a piece of snow. Maybe it all melted!!!

Thanks

Mome

You have no choice but to keep them Mome. You can't get rid of them until the end of the game. Go back,put the copper oxide 2 in the left cup, make sure that you only put a bead on the outer rim and spin the thing around. There is a seemingly endless supply of the copper to work with. You wouldn't believe how many bad batches I made. You need to end up with what looked like red granules to me.
Once you get them and make the red beads, you will be able to get the snow........but not before for some reason. The game gets really linear as it progresses.

Sue

I can't believe the trouble I am having with this game. I went back put copper2oxide (I think) in L cup, put black bead on outer rim, pushed button & then got a copper blob in R side.Then I went back observatory & worked on the buckets again but the copper blob won't go into bucket so obviously this is not the correct thing to put in there because I got the turquoise beads again.

I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong!!!
I have gone back to beginning a jiooion times. I hate to give in but maybe I need a saved game for this spot??

Mome

Mome, I got the same stuff two times too. If you get anything that doesn't look like red dust, just stand there and make another batch. Apparently you have an unending supply of chemicals. See what happens if you click a bead to the left of the big red button.....maybe half of an inch left of itand be sure you are on the outer ring.. That's where I finally got the red stuff.

Sue

Mome, I double checked what I told you, when you place the black bead on the outer ring, do it slightly left of the central red button. Honest, you can do it. I made more than one batch of lumps of copper.

Mome,

You can also check old threads to see if it might help:

Good luck!
