Curious Copse

This ruin contains a coffeemaker, a terminal, as well as an El Vibrato monolith. Both the coffeemaker and terminal will be inactive until you fix the "fusebox" machine in El Vibrato Ruin.

Coffeemaker

This machine is recognizable from the empty coffee cup in it. Operating this machine requires you properly set the refreshment (NOHONOKSTA) and temperature (NOCHALAZEVE), using the appropriate secondary terminal mode of the primary terminal.

  • Respective values of 5 and 6 will reward you with a perfect cup of coffee.
    • You only get one such coffee in your life, and after drinking it you will find all other, future coffees do not measure up.

Terminal

The terminal declares the "north central construction facility online" (NOKHOKRO PACHA ZAKKUZSOMNO PUCHAZEVE BEGA), but also informs you "terminal corruption detected" (!!!STAKUZSOM BUSTAAN NOGACHA!!!). It begins with the "primary terminal" (PABU STAKUZSOM) menu, which offers 4 choices of sub-menu.

Pipeline Terminal (BENOKKRO STAKUZSOM)

There are 4 different pipelines, each of which can connect to one of 6 different sources and one of 6 different destinations. The top menu level here lets you first select a pipeline.

  • Fluid pipeline (TASTA BENOKKRO)
  • Organic pipeline (KROKUZ BENOKKRO)
  • Power pipeline (LAZAK BENOKKRO)
  • Matter pipeline (STAPA BENOKKRO)
  • You can also go back to the "primary terminal" (PABU STAKUZSOM) menu.

Once a pipeline is selected you are presented with buttons to "select source" (BUGA NICHO) and "select destination" (BUGA GAPACHANO) (or go back to the previous menu).

  • There are 6 choices for sources and destination, with initial connections set randomly.
    • Municipal toilet system (KUZHONO ZAKAN LANO)
    • Planetary matter teleporter (NOTAZAK STAPA ANBUKRO)
    • Local solar array (HOSOM NIKRO ANNOK)
    • North central construction facility (NOKHOKRO PACHA ZAKKUZSOMNO PUCHAZEVE)
    • South west construction facility (STANOKPA NOKKUZTA ZAKKUZSOMNO PUCHAZEVE)
    • Coffeemaker (BUGAANZEVE)

The fluid and organic pipelines do not do anything. For using the construction terminal you will need to set the power pipeline to (Local solar array, North central construction facility), and the matter pipeline to (Planetary matter teleporter, North central construction facility).

Solar Array Terminal (NIKRO ANNOK STAKUZSOM)

This menu lets you control the "power" (LAZAK) given to construction projects. Power is derived from the solar array based on 2 values, the "west / east orientation" (NOKKUZTA / NINOKTA LACHAHOCHA), and the "north / south orientation" (NOKHOKRO / STANOKPA LACHAHOCHA), and both the total power level and each of the orientations is announced by the terminal as a base-7 number.

  • You are given 5 options, the first 4 of which let you adjust the power level by changing orientations.
    • Adjustment: West (BUTAPU NOKKUZTA)
    • Adjustment: East (BUTAPU NINOKTA)
    • Adjustment: North (BUTAPU NOKHOKRO)
    • Adjustment: South (BUTAPU STANOKPA)
    • go back to the "primary terminal" (PABU STAKUZSOM) menu.
  • Each of the two orientations is a numeric value in the range 30° - 60° (and initially set to 45°). West/east adjustments modify the west/east orientation by -1/+1 respectively, and north/south adjustments modify the north/south orientation by -1/+1.

The total power depends on the orientation values.

  • At 50° east/west (101 in base-7) and 30° north/south (42 in base-7) power is maximal, at 300 (which is 606 in base-7).
  • For the east/west orientation, each deviation from 50° reduces power by 3.
  • For the north/south orientation each deviation from 30° reduces power by 3.

For using the construction terminal you will need to get the power to at least 271 (which is 535 in base-7). So you do not need to reach maximal power, but you cannot be off by more than 9° in total.

Coffeemaker Terminal (BUGAANZEVE STAKUZSOM)

This allows you to set the coffee strength (refreshment magnitude) and temperature for the coffeemaker, each of which is a value in the range 1 - 7 (base 10).

  • You have 5 buttons to choose from.
    • "increase refreshment" (NOKZEVEZEVE NOHONOKSTA)
    • "decrease refreshment" (LAZEVEZEVE NOHONOKSTA)
    • "increase temperature" (NOKZEVEZEVE NOCHALAZEVE)
    • "decrease temperature" (LAZEVEZEVE NOCHALAZEVE)
    • go back to the "primary terminal" (PABU STAKUZSOM) menu.
  • Buttons increase/decrease by 1. The machine announces its current state for each value as a base-7 number (meaning 7 is expressed as "10").
    • The refreshment begins at 2, and the temperature at 6.

Construction Terminal (ZAKKUZSOMNO STAKUZSOM)

Initially, the "current construction" (LACHO ZAKKUZSOMNO) is "offline" (KUZKRO). In order to select a construction project the power (Solar Array Terminal) and feeds (Pipeline Terminal) must set correctly.

  • If power is sufficient you will have "power online" (LAZAK BEGA)
    • If the power pipeline source and destinations are not set correctly you will see "power offline" (LAZAK KUZKRO)
    • If the solar array is not set correctly you will observe "power online: insufficient magnitude" (LAZAK BEGA: LAZEVELACHA LASTAHO)
  • The "matter pipeline" (STAPA BENOKKRO) will be declared "online", or "offline" if the source or destination is not set correctly.

If all is setup correctly you may "select construction" (BUGA ZAKKUZSOMNO), or return to the "primary terminal" (PABU STAKUZSOM) menu. Construction project options consist of

  • military construction (STACHAPA ZAKKUZSOMNO)
  • municipal construction (KUZHONO ZAKKUZSOMNO)
  • go back to the "construction terminal" (ZAKKUZSOMNO STAKUZSOM)

The military construction menu gives you several project options:

  • solar destruction cannon (NIKRO GACHOFUNO TAPA)
  • military personnel containment array (STACHAPA CHATAPA FUCHAFUSTA ANNOK)
  • auditory personnel destruction cannon (NOKZAKPA CHATAPA GACHOFUNO TAPA)

The municipal construction menu gives options:

  • planetary temperature containment array (NOTAZAK NOCHALAZEVE FUCHAFUSTA ANNOK)
  • local bridge beacon (HOSOM NOAN NOFU)
  • antipsychotic sedative system (SOMZAKBUNOK GACHAKUZ LANO)

Selecting any of the projects other than the "local bridge beacon" informs you "construction corruption detected" (ZAKKUZSOMNO BUSTAAN NOGACHA) and lets you return to the construction menu.

With the bridge project selected and power pipelines set correctly the terminal gives an "!!!Initialize!!!" (!!!ZAKHOLA!!!) option. Selecting this rewards you with an El Vibrato model bridge, which can be given to Smee in the Railroad Camp (West) to build a bridge.
