 		[PUZZLE?] Constellation Room
When looking at the map this room still has an exclamation mark in it which indicates that the puzzle has not been solved. Other rooms where the puzzles have been solved show a check mark on the map. Does anyone have any idea what we are supposed to do here, if anything? Nothing seems to be 'clickable'. It could be as we unlock other constellations they build up something but I figured it was worth its own topic.

 		I noticed the exclamation point for that room as well. I imagine something will happen there, perhaps after unlocking the other 9?

I do find in interesting that the middle of the stars have the pentagons in them. I wonder if there is any more semaphore going on with the constellation itself.

Also, is that a real constellation? I haven't really brushed up on them in a while.

 		I tried to overlay the lines on the Countdown image with the centre point, the black pentagon.

Yeah, it connects to a couple, but no means a flush match. I didn't save the image. Just a thought

 		Hurm, you think they made up these constellations, but maybe they correspond to real stars? Just thought that could be a crazy awesome field event dealing with navigation. O:

 		My thought is that it's intentionally set up right now so that it can't be fully solved. Once it's time to move on to Facility 2, I'm betting we'll be able to finish the room and that'll unlock the door down corridor A.

This would make sense, considering we have several other constellation keys to get through.

So this first one used the "Rain" key I believe, correct? I wonder what happens if you only buy a few codes* and don't unlock Rain. (I forget what order they unlock in...)

*I say codes because...really, who's into the gum buying race because they love 5? I wish we'd start seeing some other flavors at least...I've been dying to try Flare, but with all the gum I have already I feel like I need a good excuse.

Just this morning I finally found a pack of gum with an Icefly on it. When I input the code, the only constellation key I could unlock was the one needed for the room. They unlock in order, and I don't think you can circumvent the order they're unlocked in.

OK, thank you for confirming that. It's been a while so I didn't remember what order they opened in!

 		This still comes up as ! instead of a check. I think all of my rings are rotating, except this one.

That's weird because I also have an exclamation point in that room but all of my rings are spinning. You may not have the audio room's ring spinning, see if you have a check mark in this room. If not then go back to the audio room and look at the TV screens, if they're all fuzzy then you need to redo level 30. If they're not fuzzy then I don't know what to tell you...

 		Using flag semaphore on constellation.
If you use semaphore on the Rain constellation, working left to right, you get HELIX with one exception. After the "E" there is the signal for "numerals".

I tried to plug in /helix after sc.com but nothing happens. Probably nothing, but I thought that it may warrant bringing up.

LIX in roman numerals is 59. Couldn't get that to work with either site either.

I've been lurking long enough, figured I should contribute something Smile

Yeah, thus far I only have 2 keys. I got Rain first, then the pink amoeba thing.

I think they all are rotating, and I'm confusing the supports to hold them as its own ring.

Hurm, both of those are very interesting! I wouldn't have thought to keep applying semaphore. So the secret behind the Rain constellation is either "HE-59" or "HELIX," or maybe both to some degree. That seems like something important we should keep in mind...

Additionally, I first thought of the landing page codes on Icefly packs of gum, but no dice. Rain's code is "explore," and no flavor has "helix." Just throwing that out there too.
