I figure some folks might get stuck - and could go for a hint. This might be a universal thread for people to share hints, since you can use the REPLY to reply directly to the person in the thread, so it nests it.
As PJ stated - there might be something on the table to move... a few of them may be under stuff... and may need to click it specifically... rather than the "whole" thing on one...
thanks for your help, I was kind of hoping for more detail as I've been moving things around and clicking what's underneath them for about half an hour. I did manage to get the socket out of the clamp though, so that's something.
Ok. So a little more. You will need to time it to get to the room across from you (straight across) - and you will need the item from the cart to open the door. Once you stand right in front of that door, the Roombas generally miss (as long as you get as close as you can) before using that item. Inside that room is an item (easy to miss) which will turn them off.
I think you replied in the wrong thread but thank you, I was actually coming here to ask this!
That is incorrect. There is no dead end. The same bolt that opens the hatch in the red corridor is the bolt that opens the elevator.
Ah, that might explain it. Because I'd kept playing the same game where the vents magically opened on their own.
/t/908644/vents-magically-opened
So that's good to know at least, that it's not a dead end. Was because I kept playing on a bugged part (I never opened those vents in the red halls).
As PCj said - first it's timing - but once you get to the other side - there might be something to remotely help...
Walk forwards past all the toilets, something will pop up. Use Rooter's head as a plunger and try to catch it.
I thought so too, but it's not the duct tape. Look around some more. There are a couple more things you need to do.
OK - so I am in the same boat - er - same pod...
I opened all four things below the seat - replaced the filter - got the medkit, used the pills on myself, got the spork knife spoon thing...
But even with Crump's "foamy" remark... I don't see how to make anything foamy to help with what I have. So I am curious if I am missing an item and stuck at a dead end. Or if there's yet something else to find.
You have the tools you need. Just need to use them in the scene.
(You may be thinking liquid foam but there are other types of foam)
Son of a... so I had the right idea. Just wasn't targeting the right thing. I was facing the other way.
Any hints? I can't figure this one out. It took like 50 clicks to open the stupid hatch for the air filter so I might just be missing it.
So - the air filter isn't the only thing. Notice the other seats have the same "storage" slot - one will have nothing - the other three have items.
One of those items is for eating.
And when you eat at a dinner table, you are left to take a seat.

Fantastic - I never thought of talking to him !
Reminds me when I was playing Sierra's quests 35 years ago and calling my friend a zillion time for hints !
Thank you for your help : )
I was stuck on this for a good 30 minutes before I gave up and watched a gameplay video of the alpha on YouTube. I knew I needed to pick Rooter up, but every time I used the hand icon on him, Ace would grab his head. Who knew using the talk icon on Rooter would cause Ace to whistle at him, and that whistling at him would cause him to turn into a toolbox. *rolls eyes*
Edit: Toned down rant.
Yeah. I am hoping they do something before the actual game, that's kind of a tutorial.
Like where Ace is in his starting ship and something goes wrong. And the Narrator says, "You will need to get Rooter. But as a toolbox. Whistle to him by clicking the talk icon." And doing so changes Rooter. And just general interaction "tips" tutorial. Not even player active - maybe just an opening segment that explains these things. Narrator "Clicking the talk icon on Rooter will allow you to whistle at him and pick him up." Type of stuff. Or just a PDF of the manual that would explain this.
Great suggestions! If tweaking the UI is out of the question, these would certainly help.
In my game, talking to Rooter in that room only has Ace pick up his head and the headless rooter walks around the room in circles.
Good to know my thinking was on the right track..
I eventually got it working. The talk icon was telling me we couldn't do it here because we didn't want to wake up the janitor. Then all of a sudden it didn't do that..
figured that out but only got a spork, first aid kit, and air filter. Jammed the round air filter in the square hole, but it won't let me duct tape the air gaps
We all thought the same thing. This time tape won't fix it.
Someone gave a good hint for this - it's a "foamy" solution - but not the liquid kind.
One of the items you got in the pod needs to be used to get what you need.
Well. That's... a problem... because of the disappearing cursor that keeps happening (and it's random) :(
Same here... I think I'm dead in the water? When are we looking for a new build to get past the Rooter Repair sequence?
So I fixed rooter in beta4 but the meteor shower is still happening. I thought there was something I was missing and was just stuck. Just came back to it today and found this thread. I guess I'll reload from before fixing rooter.
Edit: Apparently that save was corrupted. It played the meteor cutscene every time I re-entered the scrapyard. I had another save from when I'd just came down the elevator (instead of coming in from the scrapyard with rooter after the meteorite cutscene) which worked fine (once I'd entered the scrapyard a second time the meotorite showed up).
Judging by another question you asked you have a golden item already. Maybe if you misuse it with a device that it goes in you could... get some shavings?
Son of a... OK. Got it. I thought the thing was ABOVE the record. Because you're able to put the record on there. So I thought you just slid it on. Assumed the needle needed to come down.
Whistle/talk to Rooter.
He turns into a Toolbox.
Pick up the toolbox.
Click in the Inventory and click the toolbox there.
Click it on the shelf.
Click the "Phone" icon from the radial menu (next to the Inventory).
Click on Rooter control.
You now have control of Rooter.
So when Rooter is behind the crates - get him on the floor.
Click the "Rooter Nose" icon that he has available - and click on the thing blocking Ace from getting over there.
Warning - All in one word.

Strike through to make it difficult to read so you don't accidentally get spoiled. :) Might be fun to try it and see what happens.
That's how you do it? Dang it! Got stuck at the escape pod on one play through and couldn't swap the bit.
Well the Nano Scene requires quite a few things...
You need something at the top... nano... in size...
You need a plug for his brain...
And you will need a form of metal... for the soldering...
If you inserted all three of those... click the view the things on the table (eye on lens).
Once there, click the ZOOM OUT on the left - to get a wider view. You will have three nano bots that have three different jobs. One of them pushes the chips.
For starters ...
Youwillneedtomakesurethatthenumberonthechipmatchesthemotherboard
But be aware the nano scene has a ton of bugs - most noted here - and is "game breaking" in this build (CPU will undoubtedly spike before you finish).

I've tried it in a few different ways. Once the hose is in, nothing happens save for task completion message. I had Weldon do his thing before I ever went inside, sometimes the seat was there, sometimes it wasn't. <In the first attempt I didn't realize I could remove the broken hose, or tape it. Red Greene forgive me. And don't get me started on the ladder. Though that I'll post in bugs. It causes a crash if you mess with it.
I waited until I had the pieces in the hangar before getting Weldon to do anything. I've got a few saves at different points. My most recent attempt at trouble shooting has everything sealed, crap-a-lytic is installed, and the hose replaced. But the Engine is still reading as non functional on the readout.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something <Did I leave the parking brake on?>, sequence broke something <Retried different orders>, or maybe this is a bug or Gremlin if you will as we're dealing with something that flies.
When you replaced the hose, what happened for you? Engine panel close, or did it stay open?
Alrighty, that's good to know. Think I spent a good 20 or so minutes trying different possible ways of closing the panel initially before posting on here.
So I managed , somehow to get the ship completed. Seems I'm at the mercy of Space RNJesus. Scraps appeared on the screen, crapalytic test, fueled ship, good for launch. Except no gas in the tank, then ended up in a never ending animation of Ace entering and exiting the ship. Going to reload some previous saves and see what I can/ did do differently.
The no gas in the ship is correct, that's not a bug. You start with very little gas (so you will need to find gas somewhere).
HINT: do you remember why the facebox screen had a blue screen of death? The cooling system was down due to "something" being clogged in the pump. Rooter should probably figure out a way to re-clog the pump in order to cause the system to over heat again so facebox stops working..
Yeah - see, I got the clue from clicking the computer screen. "Think! What would Ace do! And do the opposite."
My first thought was that pump and clogging it - and I wondered if taking the coconut was a mistake - like Rooter could use his nose thing to pull it back into the floor below. But I had Ace pick it up. I will go back in there and see if I can figure it out. :)
Taking the loconut from the hamper won't make a difference. Perhaps there is another way..
Ah ha! So I had the right idea. I wasn't standing in the right place!
(Although it doesn't explain what really happens - he does what he does - and the Facebox thing just ends). Wasn't sure if there should be something that says, "Rooter pulls on (spoiler) which falls into (spoiler), once again, clogging the pump!"
Yeah this was a brain scratcher, but once the realization hit... Maybe the Two Guys should 'Dole'd' out for an AIO instead?
