I am having a lot of trouble with the Random Oxides level on Alkonost, and I am resisting the urge to look up solutions. Any tips you guys have which could help me figure it out without giving me a full solution?

Basically, you should have the red loop just bring oxygen to the party. The blue line should cue the red line to bring in an oxygen molecule. This way, you can split the path and only use one oxygen for the zinc molecule like it wants, and use two oxygens and a bit of tricky rotation for the Ti molecule.

Hm... I had an entirely different approach in mind. I'll try that.

After several false starts I managed to cobble together something that worked. It wasn't efficient or quick, but it worked. Thanks. :)

I literally just spent 3 hours getting this right, and it is truly a masterpiece. I feel SO good right now...

Oh, you might want to keep this around for later.

Heh, and I was proud of myself for doing "No Ordinary Headache" with only 2 reactors.  :-\

Looks nice!

It's more of a puzzle game than chemistry, basically the codex of alchemical engineering with real atom names rather than alchemical symbols, and a completely different interaction system giving vastly different puzzles, at least initially(haven't made it through even half of the levels yet).

I second the love/hate feeling. Getting stuck on something can be pretty infuriating, but when it all chugs along... Oh yeah!

Game has nothing at all to do with real chemistry, aside from it naming the molecules you create by their real names. (sometimes)
