Section - Powering Both Devices

[Powering-Both-Devices is a puzzle. Powering-Both-Devices requires Noticing P Sculpture, Observing Rainfall, Shoving P Sculpture Once, Destroying P Sculpture, Observing Higher Power Levels, Finding The Crack, Trying To Climb Through Water, Reaching The Lawn, Noticing The Mountain Stream, Diverting The Mountain Stream, and Reaching Powered Pyramid.

After going to Observatory Exterior when pyramid has power: now everything required by Powering-Both-Devices is met; continue the action.

After going to Rim of Volcano for the first time: solve Noticing P Sculpture; continue the action.

After doing something to rain clouds for the first time: solve Observing Rainfall; continue the action.

After pushing volcano sculpture for the first time: solve Shoving P Sculpture Once; continue the action.

After doing something when volcano sculpture is off-stage: solve Destroying P Sculpture; continue the action.

Doing something to a pressure gauge is DSTPGing. Doing something to boiler pressure gauge is DSTPGing.

After DSTPGing when volcano sculpture is off-stage: solve Observing Higher Power Levels; continue the action.

After going to North Marsh for the first time: solve Finding The Crack; continue the action.

After doing something when Cliffside is visited: solve Trying To Climb Through Water; continue the action.

After exiting when location is Lawn: solve Reaching The Lawn; continue the action.

After doing something to the mountain-spring: solve Noticing The Mountain Stream; continue the action.

After pushing the overly energetic boulder for the first time: solve Diverting The Mountain Stream; continue the action.

Doing something to the ropeway mechanism is PBD-solving. Doing something to the ropeway outlet vent is PBD-solving. Doing something to the ropeway pressure gauge is PBD-solving. Doing something to ropeway lever is PBD-solving. Doing something to bucket is PBD-solving. Doing something to boarded over steam vent is PBD-solving. Doing something to brick boiler is PBD-solving. Doing something to boiler pressure gauge is PBD-solving. Doing something to a pipe is PBD-solving. Doing something to a wheel is PBD-solving. Doing something to boiler outlet is PBD-solving. Doing something to volcano sculpture is PBD-solving. Doing something to the weather-worn crack is PBD-solving. Doing something to the mountain-spring is PBD-solving. Doing something to overly energetic boulder is PBD-solving.

After PBD-solving: fiddle with Powering-Both-Devices; continue the action.]

Powering-Both-Devices is a puzzle. It requires [Noticing P Sculpture, Observing Rainfall, Shoving P Sculpture Once, Destroying P Sculpture, Observing Higher Power Levels, Finding The Crack, Trying To Climb Through Water, Reaching The Lawn, Noticing The Mountain Stream, Diverting The Mountain Stream, and] Powering-Pyramid and Reaching-Powered-Pyramid.

Powering-Pyramid is a reversible task. The venue is Volcano Floor. The command-sequence of Powering-Pyramid is { "turn blue wheel 30 left", "turn red wheel 30 left", "turn yellow wheel 30 right" }. Definition: Powering-Pyramid is complete: if pyramid has power, yes; otherwise no.

Reaching-Powered-Pyramid is a task. The venue is Observatory Exterior. Definition: Reaching-Powered-Pyramid is complete: if location is Observatory Exterior and pyramid has power, yes.

A fast-forward rule for Powering-Both-Devices:

now Chasm Edge is westsided;

adjust chasm bridges;

now the mountain-spring is diverted;

now the pressure of blue pipe is 7;

move bucket to Lawn;

now the pressure of yellow pipe is 22;

move the player to Observatory Exterior.
