15:20 open the door to the main cabin

15:26 pilot the Myrcat (once you sit down, just click 'start engine' the Myrcat drives by itself - unlike the damn Mako in mass effect) - when exiting, same button as closing.

POWER OF THE SUN

18:55 open lid, and use your biogage to scan

19:02 tap 'L ALT' to see your biogage close up. connect to the array - and turn the wheels A - D is one dial, and W - S is the other. You need to hit 90%

01:04:40 use crank to turn off sprinkler 

01:06:00 connect to the water retainer - if you hit reclaim water, you can see which cell isn't correctly calibrated - I can tell there is a different way to do this, because of the mail and all that - but this is a pretty failsafe way of getting the puzzle right

01:06:34 on the side there is a slider, use that to calibrate and re-inset. correct calibration is R50 Y90 B100

01:07:54 use biogage to activate

01:08:21 flip the lever on the power

THING IN THE MIST

01:08:50 RUN!! 

run right, follow path, up the stairs - you can't open the door, monster breaks through the window, stand still it leaves? the door is now open, go outside and jump down, and jump down again, follow the tunnel and go up once it ends. follow the tunnel turn right first chance you get, follow the tunnel jump down and continue straight ahead. follow the tunnel untill you see the yellow hatch. Go through that and turn hard right once up, through the door, right again and you see the door with a green light, that is your exit.

01:11:58 pilot the Myrcat

(if you ask me, this is the second worst part of the game, I hate running from that plant monster)
