I think the problem with CO2 at the end of Murphys law challenge was a faulty transformator. Having such transformator installed will shut off access of components to power grid, even if the system is powered. Removing the transformator will restore power (since there is a backup circuit), but the systems components will be vulnerable to power surges.
I bought the game after your last video. Having a blast. Just curious, why don't you recycle and repair components? The first challenge in this video would have been great for that.
Great, glad you're enjoying it! Regarding recycling and repairing, the main reasons why I don't do it is the time and the "cost". Over time I've realized that in most cases it's "cheaper" to swap components between systems than to use the repair station. For example, you'll notice that if you recycle a perfectly functional component the parts you get won't be sufficient to fix that same component, since you lose some parts in the recycling process. In this case I think the CO2 scrubber just needed a data cable, which I could have grabbed from a few other systems although I didn't realize that was the issue at the time.
I usually just recycle the monitors, the grav generator really doesn't need it. But I played a few games now where I can't spare a power connector, and I literally don't have time to repair components. Learned A LOT from watching you play. The game mechanics are so simple, but this game is so complex.
I've greatly enjoyed these challenge videos so far, looking forward to seeing you complete this last one.
Hey chuck - would be great to see you play mech engineer! I'd love to have it explained a bit also haha!
Maybe one day! I tried the demo some time back but mech engineer's interface is pretty obtuse. Looks like a great game though!
