Old Post Industrial Revolution Tech Tree Discovery *SPOILERS*

Just venting, but the puzzle at the beginning of the new Medical Plastics quest is going to drive me insane (was never very good at those). I'll get it though! :)

Ha, it's pretty clever, but it offers enough hints to be solvable. Keep at it. Quest is pretty fun so far, a lot of experimenting there, feeling like a real chemist
 
For the first medical plastics puzzle, is there some hint I'm supposed to have gotten? It's just "fix the production" and switches with no clear indication anywhere I can find.

Check the spreadsheet I posted a few post back under the sheet quests.
 
I've made a bit of progress and hit another little block, I cant manage to track down any of the
additional cores for the Microfusion research assistant quest.
I checked all over the locations they should be and haven't found one yet. Also I hope these spoilers work.

Did you take the diagram from the table?

Two of them are in the room where you get the warhead. Other two are in two mirrored rooms adjoining the reactor control room. One of them is under water near a table and can be hard to spot.
 
Got to say, l’m loving The New Bugle! The “Chinese Invasion” article made me laugh out loud. Kudos to whoever wrote them.
 
Is the 4th Level 3 building for the Excavation Pit even obtainable?

For the "Solar Reading" I assume that we put the energy detector near the solar plant, and am assuming that is the 4th unlock, but I don't know how to unlock it, or if it even exists.

I've tried installing the Addons that add the Solar Plant, but was worried about it messing up my cities because it hasn't been updated in over a year, and is only available on Nexus.

Has anyone unlocked the Solar Plant?

Yes, it is obtainable I have built one and am trying to work out how to git it to function.

Care to throw a few tips/hints on how to unlock it?

I've been finding various clues so far but I don't have them linked correctly

I've figured out the Observatory might have something to do it. The messages are random but there are a few each day, and they seem to react to Alien Weather from Advanced Weapons Plot after you solve the quest

I've found the terminal in Poseidon Energy, gave me Archimedes Codes Holotape but I presume this is for the actual unlock quest.

EDIT: 20 minutes later one of my plots upgrade itself, I found out, updated the sheet

A lot of things tie togheter now, but I'll need some sleep now

ok, now i have 3 holotapes (after constructing the solar tower), 2 i got from solar tower and 1 from... well..., spoiler from some guys above me (i dont know how to put the spoiler tab, i'm new here)

one from solar tower is connected with the weapons mission, but the other two... i dont have any idea what they do or where i put them.

ps. sorry for my bad english
 
Ok so I guess this is more obvious to most than it is to but considering this is a spoiler post that starts out telling you what you need to unlock everything else... how the hell do you get the solar tower/array. I’ve got everything else and did all the quests even but no solar option.

It's quite simple really. Tech Salvagers, Advanced Weapons

Do you drop the Micro Transponder from the Tech Salvagers into the Advanced Weapons hopper on the second floor?

Nope. Just have them in the same settlement, then Crystal Mine should have Solar Tower upgrade available. All 3 buildings must be in the same settlement

So I just got the last signature holotape
The aliens were way too easy. They were lvl1 and barely a threat. Moreover, I looted 9 Alien Blasters and about 100 rounds of ammo from them. This seems to be overpowered to me. IMO, the aliens should a) be more dangerous and b) unlootable

I had a few waves of them (maximum of 5 or so I believe per wave). In my game was quite difficult since I have a lot of modifications to difficulty, I was getting 2 shoted so I had to call the minuteman to take the fire for me lol
