I finally got the cork on the icicle. You have to move the arrow up and I could have sworn that is what I had done but obviously not so maybe that is something that should be put in the WT unless there are no more dummies like me so thanks for all your help.

I need help again. I am leaving the control room to go back to the transporter and it says the water tank should be almost empty like the left one on the right side but just how am I suppose to do that?

There's a piece of metal pipe missing from the mechanism that changes the water level. You can find it in the steelworks area.

Hi LadyKestrel Are we talking about the pipe I already have to change the water tank on the left side or is this another pipe? Happy New Year

I looked at the Walkthrough on the CD and all it talks about is to make the right water tank empty but it doesn't say at the same time. If I click the left side and turn the metal pipe, it will make the left water tank full again and the rightside lower. Can you remember if they should both be empty or just one side?

Renee, there is a walkthrough here at GameBoomers (I don't know if it is the same one that is on the CD or not)--here is what it says: "Once in the Control room, turn to your right and click just to the left of the thick metal pipe. Notice an empty place, place the thin metal pipe in that space. Now the left water tank is almost empty, make it so that the right one is almost empty. Leave and go back to transporter and go to Zn."

So it sounds to me as though both tanks should be almost empty...

Only the right tank needs to be empty.

HI Jenny...it is the same WT that I am looking at and also LadyKrestrel, the WT says the left one is suppose to be empty and also the right one. I am afraid if I leave the tank the way it is, I will have to go back there later and fix something and I don't want to have to do that so do I or don't I leave the right tank alone? Also, the tanks aren't all empty but almost. Thanks

Renee, I'll have to leave this one to the people who have played Chemicus. Since I haven't, all I could do was to quote from the walkthrough here at GameBoomers. I hope you can get this question cleared up so that you can go on with your game....

Renee I don't remember either tank looking totally empty. Stick with what the walkthrough tells you to do.
Good luck

Hi Texaslady....that is what I am doing but that is what started the original question which is.........the WT says to make the right tank almost empty too but it doesn't say how. I put the metal pipe on the bottom and it emptied the left tank but how do I empty the right tank. Help!!! How can someone write a WT like this and then not say how to finish what you started in the first place? Does someone have an answer to this question? Has anyone played this game recently?

Renee, play with the controls or the pipes and see if you find out which ones will lower the right tank also. I really can't remember.

Renee,
You're lowering the level in a swimming pool so you can access a door. Since you never enter the other pool, the level there doesn't matter.

Thanks LadyKestrel.......I have continued on in the game and so far no problems until I have come to the part in the Cu area. I put some copper2oxide in the left cup and am suppose to place a black bead on the outer ring but I am ot finding where the outer ring is. I keep placing it everywhere and in different spots but it keeps going back to inventory. Does anyone have a specific spot I should be putting it? I also don't have my inventory piece that says black bead but some other kind of bead so I hope that isn't the problem. Does anyone remember where we were to get this inventory piece? Thanks

thanks texaslady. the thread didn't help me with making black beads. Also, I might have them but not sure where the outer ring is to put the black beads. Do you remember how to do that? It did say something on how to make copper2oxide but I did have that and that is what I put in the left cup but the right cup for the black beads is what I was wondering about and of course as I said, where is the outer ring on this gizmo? Thanks
