Chemlab: How to obtain chemicals (using the left arm)
To get solids:
--------------
Use the left arm, with the spoon as a hand. Move under the dispenser,
and press RETURN. Now input the name of the solid you want. To drop the
solid from the spoon, hit RETURN again.
To get liquids:
---------------
Use the left arm, with the nozzle as a hand. Move over whatever you want
the liquid in, and hit RETURN. Now type in the name of the liquid you
want.
To get gases:
-------------
Use the left arm with the gas cap as a hand. Move under one of the
connectors under the gas tanks. Press RETURN. It should connect with the
cap. Now, move the cap over a flask, and press RETURN to connect them.
Now you control the valves to get the correct gas. Open the valve of the
tank, and the valve of the connector you connected to, to get that gas.
You can mix and match gases by controlling the valves.
ChemLab: Moving equipment (using the right arm)
To get equipment, move the right arm down until it is just above the
platform at the lower right of the screen. Now hit RETURN, and enter the
name of the piece of equipment you want. It will pop up.. now, move the
hand beside the equipment, and hit RETURN. It should latch on to it. Now
move it as you would the arm (Suggestion: always place your first
equipment to the far right to make room for other equipment.), and hit
RETURN to drop it there. You CANNOT move equipment once you have
connected or placed something in it If it didn't work, you'll probably
have to clear the lab and start from scratch.
