Control Resonant Soda Dispenser Puzzle Solution

Testing Facility Pearl: how objects change across the yellow lines and how to fill all five squares.

Short answer

Turn every shifting object into a Thirst Station soda dispenser and drop one on each of the five yellow-taped squares, then pull the shutdown lever at the console. Carrying an object over a yellow line moves it one step: printer → sink → oven → soda dispenser; crossing back reverses it. The console turns green and opens a room with a Power Upgrade Point (All Things How).

Step by step

  • Read the Shutdown Instructions at the terminal: each Impermanence area must hold its default object, a soda dispenser.
  • Find all five yellow squares; starting objects are randomised, so plan from what is in front of you.
  • Pick up an object and cross yellow lines until it becomes a soda dispenser. Overshoot? Cross back one line.
  • Use Drop Object to place it in a square. Repeat for all five.
  • Pull the shutdown lever. Inside the opened room, cleanse the Altered Item for a Power Upgrade Point and grab “Notes From Technician Washland”.
