Altador Plot #57 [READ THE FAQS]

[Amber Bellum]

really? thats WIERD. for me, when i put all valves on "up"...(the circle ones on "Straight" and the levers on "up" then it floods it and says "OH NO! You opened too many pumps and valves, and Altador has been completely flooded!"

..... are you sure this doesnt happen for you guys? itd seem like something that should be happening for everybody...

reallly... just when i was about to give up... i put all the valves down... and then i click in the firs round thing (how do you call it?)... and it was fixed....

but im telling you, i put all the valves up and down.... and no flood...

They always flood whenever I open them all too. I think Amber simply misunderstood. My guess for the practical reason for the flooding business is to allow players to reset the combination they need incase they messed up, plus the amusement factor.

lol whoops I flooded Altador XD. i'm not so good at this trying to get the water working right thing

NO matter what i do i flood the place.. is there a pattern that has to be followed???

[Jemdoll]

Could it be conceivable that maybe the combo. is different for everyone. It makes sense considering that the other clues with combinations have been different for everyone involved. Just a thought.

[Amber Bellum]

and me. what'd you mean by "I pushed all the valves up and down at the same time"? did you you have everything straight and up?

im sorry, english is my second language, and sometimes i dont know how to explain something.... i ment that...not at the same time, but all up at the same time

i agree with you. i tried the combinations of other people and it didnt work for me...
with the valeus was the same... i just tried the URL thingy...

This has been said a few times but I think it needs to be said again:

Guys, I REALLY think the water plant puzzle is RANDOM or at any rate there is no specific pattern to it. Those who are searching for patterns are seriously going about it WRONG. Just try clicking a few levers and then go into one of the other rooms and click a few more and YOU WILL GET IT MUCH FASTER. I firmly believe this.

I was successful in less than 30 seconds abouut 5 or six clicks MAX. I did not read any theories and patterns at all. Once I found out the new clue had been released, I just went to Altador and went through it on my own by following my instincts. When I got into the water plant I just tried what seemed the most logical to me at the time.
I did the following:
When I got into the first room I didn't touch any of the wheel valves, only the switch.
The switch in the first room was down, I flipped it up.
The water moved to the other tank and I went through the door on the right.
In that room I flipped all the switches into the opposite positions of where they were. (two were up and one was down, I flipped the up ones to down and the down one to up.)
The tank filled with water.
THAT'S IT.
Then I got sent to the "you fixed it" page.

This convinces me that it is not complicated or anything you have to think about and puzzle out for too long. Just go into the rooms and flip some switches. Don't give yourself a migraine. If it doesn't work take a deap breath and flip some more stuff or something. Leave your maths homework out of it. I don't think it's rocket science, really.

OMG!! I just did that and it worked, after going through every possible combination before. o_____o;;;

Thank you for putting such an insane idea in my head!!! *heart* -^_____^-

Browsing the previous split I saw this:

I saw this on the NeoBoards, and it worked for me, so here's hoping it works for you as well:

All your valves will be "straight", meaning they'll all look like a + sign, not an X. In the room to the left, you should just have the two valves pointing straight. In the main room, the first you come to when you go through the door, both valves should be straight, and the lever needs to point up. In the third room, what I believe to be the varying room, you have to alternate up down up, or down up down. In my case, it was UP-DOWN-UP, and then they rejoiced that I fixed the plant. Hope this helps you

I tried it. AND IT WORKED!

So perhaps there is a set of patterns that work. If you're stuck give this method a try.

Doesn't work for everyone.

QFE. Either that, or there are mutliple possible "answers" to this puzzle, and we haven't figured them out yet.

your welcome!!!! im glad i could help you. and i dont know... but if worked for me and for you.. .maybe its not so random....

[Magdalen]

I think the key is to flip switches till something changes in the first room. (i.e. the water moves to a different place) Then immediately go into one of the other rooms and flip switches till something changes etc...

[Amber Bellum]

i agree with you OFFICER, it cold have many answes...

and why i cant quote something...
could somebody tell me???
