I love Vessel its a great game. But now im stuck at the final machine of the orchard.

A Screenshot of the machine I have problems with:

It will be great, if you could give me some tips how I can solve the puzzle! :D

Thaaaaaaaanks ^^

You've got red and blue liquid. Then you have a bunch of pressure plates in the center. Pressing the buttons sprays the liquid, and the dispensers of the blue/red liquid are moveable so you can change the angles.

[warlordship]

Inside the thing at the top are 4 switches that are set off by explosions. The launchers at the bottom can have any liquids inside it all at once, including red AND blue. Once fired, they don't blow up for a few seconds.

[cirby88]

You have to change the angle of each cannon (or whatever they really are) to go into the inside and just try and get the liquids to mix in the middle.

If you need more help on the orchard I am uploading the final episode of the orchard walkthrough now it can be found at www.youtube.com/cirby88TNG it should probably be up by the time you read this if not by then then by tomorrow it will be up! ;)

I've got the same problem. They actually -never- blow up in the machine at the top. The purple stuff just disappears before it can blow up. Bug?

I dont believe so as long as the liquid works in other places of the game, there is however a spinning object in the middle of it all which can mess things up I would just try messing around more with the cannons and pumping more liquid into them to try and create a bigger reaction!

Yeah I filled the right cannon to the rim with the purple stuff and shot it inside the machine at various angles for like 20 times now, to no avail. I watched videos of the level and there is just explodes and it's done. Doesn't seem to work for me :/

In fact, even if half of it misses the hole, it also disappears in a kinda buggy looking way (as in.. all of the purple stuff at once).

Oh I see what you are trying to do you are mixing them both in one cannon I would suggest making on red and one blue and trying to shoot them into it that way they have time to react properly.

[PublicLag]

Yeah, since it was possible to create purple stuff in a cannon and shoot that, it seemed like the logical solution.

But thanks for the hint - with a helper I managed to shoot the red stuff over the blue cannon exactly when firing the blue cannon and some of the stuff actually made it into the machine where it exploded and it worked. Wow. I still vote for buggy :)

Thanks a lot though!

Your welcome! :D I think it is actually suppose to be done that way seeing that there are 2 cannons haha

Also be sure to checkout some of my youtube stuff I posted it above! I am trying to really get the channel going and this game is helping a lot! :D

[Bumpler]

Muuuaaah, I got it :D
First I shot with blue glue in one can and red gut in the other at the middle-down-side of the machine above, the light switches in red.
Then, i shot the red glue to the opening for filling the blue can, so i shot purple glue to the right light of the machine, it exploded and - tadaaa- solved :D
Strange... ^^

Yeah that is supposed to work. You can try setting ObjectLimiter to '0' in Vessel Config. I'll check that level and see what could be going wrong.

[Botulism]

I had the exact same problem. I fired the red cannon into the blue cannon and filled it with purple. Then I shot the purple into the turbine thing. It swirls and disappears, but no explosion.

I may have found a work around. Fill the right (blue) cannon with purple then go off to the right, so it's off screen. Wait a few moments for the drips to top off the cannon and force it to fire. It should fire off screen and succeed. At least it worked for me.

@johnk,
It's encouraging that you are posting here. ObjectLimiter didn't fix the problem for me. Here's a save with the problem. I hope it helps.

Thanks Botulism, I've made a note of this and will fix it with the next patch. Were you able to get by it? If not email me and I can make a save game just past that part.

[longrange1977]

Can confirm Botulism's workround for this.

Fill right cannon with purple goo,

leave left empty.

run to the water dispenser, the screen will zoom in and you can't see the cannons or turbine. just wait, a Fluro will set off the cannon and ta-da - job done.

Kudos Botulism, was tearing my hair out!

[freibooter]

Mhhh, my solution was a completely different one:

I left the left/red cannon pointing upwards into the pipe (which ends in the turbine)
I pointed the right/blue cannon into the hole of the turbine and filled them both up.
If you walk away a little bit a Fluro comes to push one of the buttons ... hop on the other button at the same time - done.

Is this the intended solution?

What a major game ending bug. Took me over one hours of trying to figure what I was doing wrong. Did a search and videos show the same solution.

The solution was correct the bug prevented it from working.

Without Botulism post I probably would have given up.
