Chapter 6 Walkthrough - Engine Room

This is a walkthrough and guide for Chapter 6 of Machinika: Atlas. Following the previous game in the series, Machinika: Museum you play as a researcher whose escape pod has arrived at an abandoned spaceship on Atlas a moon of Saturn.

In Chapter 5 you reached a room that contained a gravity device that needed activating. Once it activated the ship has taken off and now you need to find a way to start the engines.

Chapter 6a Walkthrough

You pass through a vent to reach a chamber with a large round door.

You cannot activate the lock in the center. But below it is a small green symbol for the drone. And 3 colored dials.

Use the drone on this to activate it and the controller.

Move the drone forwards to reach a junction with 3 paths. These match the colors of the dials.

The dial we can see is green so move through the green path to reach some gears. There are 2 gear wheels in a row and another one above.

On the door to the right of the green dial is a handle, you can move this to move the upper gear and place it on any of the lower gears.

Then you can turn the dial to rotate the gear.

On the left is a laser that is passing though the first gear.

Move the gear on the right with the dial until the laser passes through it as well.

This opens the green lock.

Now we need to repeat this with the other 2 colored dials.

Tap a button below the green lock dial (now white) on the door to turn and reveal the blue dial. Control the drone and move it through it back to the junction and then into the Blue section.

There is some stuff in the way, but you can use the laser on this to remove it.

Look at the gears in this section and repeat the same process to connect to each gear wheel in turn and turn it to let the laser pass through.

Once the blue lock is opened you can then move the drone through to the red path.

In the red section we see that the laser is not working. Instead you can point the drone at the target on the right and use the laser on the drone to activate it. This will open the red lock and now the door it activated.

Back up and look at the dial in the center of the door.

First turn the small wheel around once. This activates the larger wheel.

Turn this as well and the full door will open.

Enter the Engine room.

Chapter 6 - Engine Room Walkthrough

Move up the steps and look on the right side of the large engine in front of you. You need to tap on the floor next to the engine block.

Slide each of the lines away in the correct order to open the panel.

Once open collect a Strange Item.

View the Strange item in your inventory and turn it around. Then you can rotate the center section a quarter turn to activate it.

Move back to the end of the engine and view the large panel at the top.

Press the red button to open it. Then you can place the strange item into the slot on the left side.

The strange item has vertical and horizontal sliding section that have holes in them.

You can move these about to reveal red symbols in different positions.

The symbols match those on the right side above the sliding switches.

Set the heights of each of the switch to the same position as the matching symbol on the left.

This starts the engine working and reveals some broken mechanisms in further areas of the room.

Now look on the floor to the right of the walkway and collect a small Gear wheel.

View this in your inventory and turn the red dial to extend the teeth, collect it again.

Now look on the floor again and place the gear wheel into the gap on the right. You can then tap this gear wheel and then the one on the left to fully extend the walkway and allow you to cross to the next area.

Look on the floor now and collect a Pulley.

View the pulley in your inventory and then you can turn the red handles to alight the top and bottom wheels so that the pegs on the top and bottom wheels are pointing straight up and down.

Now you can view a slot in the machinery in front of you and place the Pulley into it.

Use the screwdriver tool on the lower pulley wheel and match the symbols as before.

This fixes the pulley into place and then activates a chair.

First look at the panel to the left with the fans above and the dials.
