This is getting ridiculous. I had the plant fixed in 20 mintues, with not so much as a flood to hinder me. I don't understand why so many intelligent, experienced PPT members haven't fixed the water plant yet. I want to say it's a browser-related error, or a mistake on TNT's part, but surely the former would have been figured out, and the latter fixed, by now?
I'm sending off a question to the editorial concerning this, but I really hope you guys can solve it sooner than later.
Officer 1BD1: thanks appreciate you posting that

Nope, good try but I don't believe you - the links are not of a certain set way of setting the valves and levers, but rather of making one valve/lever turn/flip, from what I have found. Therefore, depending on the combination of valves and levers that you start with, you are going to end up with all the valves closed and the levers up at some point, resulting in a flooded Altador
Then why is it:
1. the ONLY time I flood altador is when the positions are: ++ | ++U | UUU
2. using altrus' list I flooded Altador at three different points in the list (on three separate tries)
3. Please note my starting position was the SAME for each try of altrus' list
(starting xx | xxU | UDU )
If the sequence remained the same for ALL time periods then I would get the same results each time for altrus' list of 255 combinations (not three different results)

What do you think we have been doing for last 4 days?

It is possible the "combinations" are assigned by IP I suppose?
Doubt it as I'm in Australia

Despite being told there is no glitch, I am in disbelief I can be so unlucky. I have plenty of other things to waste my time on; this is getting boring.
It's likely that those that got it by "just trying someone else's combination" (even left to right) did several other things beforehand that led up to it, that they did not notice at that point, didn't think to make a connection. Well I have been staring at water go from here to there for days now, I feel like I should get my Plumber's Club Badge already. But it still doesn't help me solve anything, if I have no idea what the aim is.
It is against all odds there should be anyone left doing this, including myself. If anything, there should be a finite number of clicks programmed in before one just "magically" gets it, seemingly like others have. It should not be something to put someone out of a plot if they have made the effort, and advance others through no effort or level of skill required.
Fully agree!

Here's a thought. Equip your pet with the astronomy club and try the water plant again. Or, un-equip the astronomy club and try again. I don't remember what pet I used when I spent all those unfruitful hours, and what pet got it, but there's a good chance I switched.
(All my other plot things are in my SDB.)
What could the puzzle possibly be that so many people accidently stumble on the correct solution right away, and for others it takes ages? That should be a clue in itself. So far, the only clue.
Have tried but no luck so far
Question: Did/does anyone have the SAME starting sequence that I have:
xx | xxU | UDU
and if you do, what was your "correct" sequence?
edit:
Please note I can also get all water in:
Room 1 and none in 2 + 3
Room 2 and none in 1 + 3
Room 3 and none in 1 + 2
