Puzzle elements


Overview

When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in a large room with many nooks. All four corners of the room have some gravity surfaces on the top corners; some have them vertically, and some have both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

  • The front left nook has an area that is blocked off by a blue door, and has the progress wheel and a red receiver behind it.
  • The front right nook has a connector
  • The rear left nook has another connector
  • The rear right nook has a red [emitter]] pointed backwards.
  • Near the rear right nook, in the middle of a giant plus-shaped concrete wall, is a gravshifter.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is Upward Migration, you will have to migrate some equipment upwards in order to solve the puzzle.

If your equipment is stuck upstairs:

[ hint ]
You can enter the gravity well yourself and retrieve the equipment.

If you're struggling to get started:

[ hint ]
Notice that you have two connectors, a single emitter and a single receiver. Try experimenting with routing the laser.

If you're wondering how to perform the upward migration:

[ hint ]
There are two corners with horizontal gravity surfaces, use those. Then move the equipment further.
