I’m starting this thread to consolidate questions related to the Lab.

If you’re struggling with something there, please put in at least a few hours to try solving it first. If you’re still stuck, This would be the thread for you to check.

You have one more step, you have to insert the canister 'somewhere'.

how can i do that there is no option for that

gotta use the 'use' option of the canister to the 'somewhere' place

I got the coordinates for the suit but I don't know where to look for the firmware.

I honestly think it's just a guessing game. Like I've never found anything that said what firmware to use, I just try all 6 available (resetting from the same save) until it works. The only exception is I did find Site Zeta's, while at site Zeta.

Developer

It’s not a guessing game.

The first time I dreamt, I got a Level 2 card, but I didn't know what to do next.

What does the suit and firmware even do?

The ESR suit protects the wearer during inter-dimensional travel. It’s apparently so high-tech you have to ensure your firmware is compatible with the destination.

Let me ask you, where did you get the coordinates?

(1 edit)

You should look more closely at the Terminal in the Lab.

How do you even use the suit. Do you need to enter the red-card room to use it?

The interface in front of the suit allows you to choose which firmware and coordinates to program the suit with. You then wear the suit before entering the rift in the Lvl3 card room. If done correctly you will be teleported.

Ok, I'm really annoyed now because for 2 days (irl) now I don't know if I got bug or I screwed something up or this is intentional game mechanics...

I've got possesed by Squidrabbit so I want to remove the effect with proper potion. I know the recipe. I know how to get all ingredients but I don't  have a single clue how to synthesize the potion because only 2 position in the menu of machine for brewing potions are the recipies for protein base and as far as I can remember there were options for other potions. I cannot go any further... Should I change the mode of this machine or something like that? I can't find any in game hint about it at all...

The other recipe’s are unfortunately only accessible in the admin console.

But Unnie hinted at two other ways to remove squidrabbit before. They didn’t say much about it originally, just that it can be done in the lab or in the mansion. Personally I haven’t figured out the Mansion’s way to do it yet (maybe someone else has), but the second lab way technically starts in the forest. 

My hint to get you there is: The forest journal describes painted trees and paths between them.

How do you use the admin console?

I understand that the Squidrabbit can increase hip size or a couple of in game days but I havent been able to see a change with the measuring tape. Is it a couple of days or closer to a week?

It's a pain because squidrabbit's tissues are what get measured and will always be 46, not the character's true measurements (except for breast measurements for some reason). The first day should be an immediate true size increase that you won't see. It may increase again but If it does it's likely from a different flag all together. 

Please reference the long breakdown provided by Unnie on the feedback and suggestions thread for a better idea of how sizes increase and decrease.

Has anyone come across a key hidden somewhere in the lab??

I have located several colored orbs around the lab, but I haven't seen any use for them. Is there a computer log I missed or is it part of another area I need to go to?

how does one mix the compounds

Use the machine in the center of the room you found Kari in.

it only lets me make protine

(1 edit)

I'll have to do some testing but if you can only make the base then I think you didn't find the parasite removal terminal entry in the main lab terminal. Unfortunately  you can't reach that terminal if covered by the squidrabbit. Something in the Manor should be able help you. If I had to guess I'd say to try getting possessed and walking in front of a mirror. You could then try to enter the lab from the manor and see if the scanner door will let you pass. You might need to do that twice and take the secret path to the other bathroom. If you read how to remove the parasites you should be to craft the C-ALPHA. Three of the needed vials are located in various rooms. You need to mix the Protein Base with the purple vial and the other item to get the last required vial. You should then be able to craft the C-ALPHA. Otherwise you might consider starting a new save file where you explore the lab more thoroughly before encountering the squidrabbit.


EDIT: If you get possessed and can open Lady Jessica's Door, then you interact with the door while possessed so that it will let you enter. Enter AFTER the possession expires and look in the mirror. You will have enough time left to get to the lab and to the terminal with the information for the parasite removal. You should then be able to craft C-ALPHA and C-DELTA. The other recipes for the Protein Base need to be found in terminals or after using a specific item located past the squidrabbit.

wher can i use the red and yellow orbs in the lab?

I don’t believe that the orbs have any function in the currently available version, but they will in a future update.

I think I have all the ingredients for the parasite cure other than one. Whatever the pink grass/fur-like one is. I think it has something to do with the squidrabbit but I can't work out what. I tried taking a sample with the knife and the empty test tube from both the rabbit itself and the tentacles coming out the floor but it does not appear to do anything and I can't think of how else you might get it. Any suggestions?

The pink grass/fur-like thing you speak of is in fact a tentacle bloom. You can get it from either skinning a squidrabbit, or harvest it from a tentacle infestation while currently affected yourself.

Подскажите пожалуйста код, чтобы открыть дверь из лаборатории, не могу найти его ни где

Открыть дверь из лаборатории? В большинстве номеров требуется ключ-карта. Исключением может быть случай, когда вы имеете в виду костюм и пространственный разлом, подсказку о которых вы можете получить после решения нескольких скрытых головоломок в лесу.

is there a way to avoid the squidrabbit when trying to get to the scanner roo

100% skill and timing, or kill it with a blaster.

where would i find the blaster as ive been trying everything to get past it

(1 edit)

There are two scanners, one to access the North wing and the other accesses the South wing. After passing through the North one, there's another door to its West.

anyone knows where to get level4 card?

there is 2 lvl4 card that i know

the first one in Site Zeta 
entry points are:
-the lab portal
- the Looped forest purple tree
first entry will be a short one need a second night for the key
and you need a lvl3 keycard for the console password (so you can skip the void forest keycard)

the second one is in the manor west wing chest (dont know which key opens it i had all in my inventory)

Deleted 92 days ago

I opened the west wing chest while i had the following keys in my inventory:

  • West wing key
  • East wing key
  • Rusty key
  • Painted key
  • Library key
  • Magic key
  • Strange key

I havent looked at the key text when opened the chest but by the look of it its either:

  • East wing key
  • Painted key
  • Library key

if the new version havent changed it only contains a lvl 4 card which the site one is simpler (for me at least)

After testing

The manor west wing needs the east wing key

The chest contains a Lvl 4 card and a note for the diary

I have no idea how to progress. 

The lab seems to have two paths when you start with the You either get the saw, or the Lvl2 Key and C-beta.

With the Lv2 Key you can access the "Suit room" and the room with the penis monster and empty vials. 

The console there is blinking for me, like I can interact with it, and in previous runs it used to make protein, but now it does nothing for me. 

I can cut off the arm of the frozen person, thaw it, but not sure what to do it with. 

I can cut off pieces of the squidrabbit for some reason. 

A machine needs a canister I don't know where to find, and I can't go east or west past the scanner due to my Squidrabbit/facehugger appearance. 

Help answers, or even clues or hints, would help.

The Protein  recipe is in one of the small room PCs
The other recipe is in the Mainframe PC on the top left if you got infected you can go to Site Zeta  Mainframe within the Looping Forest (its a tricky one)
the thawed arm can be used at the fingerprint readers (for the gun and the teleport room)


The canister is the cure to remove the squidrabbit and unwidow (Cockbug as Yuri calls it) and any nasty things 
One of the vials is in the lvl 3 room fridge the other is at the tentacle room down at from  squidrabbit

From lore bits from the PC the lab is quite empty and no pint in constant visit (the only reason I can think of is the lab->manor gun skips)

I definitely know where that protein recipe is. I didn't think it was a recipe, so much as just lore.
The Mainframe PC is what I can't access anymore, but I did hit it before I got transformed, so maybe if I get the protein recipe it'll help.
The Site Zeta is the one you reach going from the arc trees, to the purple tree, right?
I know there's some data at the computer but they want a level 3 or 4 key, which I don't know how to get from the lab to the forest.

Yes the Site Zeta is accessed through the purple tree

There is a Lvl 3 card at the void forest for the PC or just use a the code if you write that down after using the card (so you can skip the void forest)

Dont forget to bring an axe to the void forest

I'm not quiet sure what the void forest is.  Can you explain it?

To not Spoil it completely the Looping forest Journal Page 17 (its one of the earlier)has an info how to access it.

Tips for the Void forest Bring an axe(hut basement) and cut down the 3 colored trees (without true sight the range is very small from which you can see them) 

See I thought page 17 would lead somewhere, I just couldn't find initial marker. I'll have to go back and give it more attempts. Thanks!

To me the hint reads to go from an orange tree to a red one, and these are supposed to be in the lost forest? I can't find them anywhere here.

The Orange one is upwards from the forest hut stand on top of it (very important)from there follow the Page direction and stand on top of the red one after following the the diary directions again you will be teleported after set distance ( its a trial of error there are no slimes along the path so its safe to try)
 

Note: there are 2 red tree one bring you to the Void forest(following real life magnetic direction) the Other to the Painted forest(following Looped Forest magnetic directions)

also should note that if you unlock a recipe and for some reason reload the save when you havent yet unlocked the recipe, the recipe wont show until unlocked and some areas might remain un interactable. the recipes dont need to be reunlocked within next dreams if you already once unlocked them in the same save. 

That makes sense. Thanks.

The first time I dreamt, I got a Level 2 card, but I didn't know what to do next.

Please help me, please.

Nothing special. there is no time limit, and first day has low stamina(white bar) to explore. take easy at all

There's no time limit, so how do I get out of the dream? I can't do anything next. Walking around these rooms with a Level 2 card

As Rin said, dream never move when you didn't take action. such as open the door, find document, pick up the something.
take it easy and enjoy the exlpre the lab.  Next time you regret to why time isn't going slow.

if you want more hint, then wait someone write down the guideline.

The first day is finally over, what do I need to do next? I've unlocked all three dream scenes, I only have Level 1 cards in the first lab, I can't find level 2 and level 3 and level 4, To tell you the truth, even so, I was a little confused. The green and red and yellow balls next to him were all consumed in black

(1 edit)

There are two doors you can open with the lockpick you obtain from the start, you have to pick one. One room has a lvl 1 keycard, the other has a lvl 2 keycard (if I remember correctly). Each room is ideal for a specific goal. One is necessary to cleanse squidrabbit infection, the other is ideal if you don't have squidrabbit and plan to do other things. There is a lvl 3 card which can be obtained inside the lab, but there is no lvl 4 actually inside the lab proper.

I see, thank you

What happens if those balls disappear? Or what happens if they stay? Add attributes?

More importantly, I don't even know how the game works. There's hardly any sense of decryption, because I still can't find the problem, and I don't know how to unlock the cat–cat, The most important thing is to make money, I feel I can no longer find a way to make money, sooner or later I will be starved to death, can not better blood

To be clear, I need a strategy, a detailed strategy

First, stretegy need a infomation. infomation you need to explore the world. this game desined to find yourself between ignorance and ambiguity. 

1. LV4 Card isn't possible get day 1, find 'other' places.
2. Starvation not important. that makes only HP damage into when you try to sleep. but leed to spactial sceane.
3. when you touch the ball, that going to inventroy. you can see it right side in inventrory.
  + it is pretty not important.
4. CAT-CAT need to talking with friends a lot. 

谢谢你,你在我迷茫游戏的路上点了一束光

更重要的是,我的英语不是很好。如果前一句话中有冒犯或不礼貌的地方,我很抱歉
