Checking in: CMs 1 & 3 returned to orbit. Collected sprayer, placed forge and used guppy to siphon 150 aether, it's obvious I need the miner, relay and especially terp. I don't think I can make a guppy chain to any of those items and the spore tower is ready to fire. Maybe I place one relay to sacrifice and let all 25 spores hit that? Also have to decide how to use the 150 aether. I'm expecting spending them all on Extra Range is the prescription, but I've saved my progress so I can experiment with the 150 usage.
I do appreciate that with each of your puzzles I explore, I learn new tricks to solve others too.
Focus on the spote tower first, before you do anything else
I've been wracking my brain trying to get this but it doesn't seem possible, I might be missing some game knowledge needed to complete it.
Where exactly are you stuck?
Thanks for playing
I Think right at the beginning, I've figures out how to use all the available spavce to get a forge down and the aether syphon but I can't figure out what else to do beyond that. There's not enough space to place down a nullifier next to the spore tower, and there's nowhere else I can put the guppy, and there's no way I can get the keys to anything but the sprayer. I'm at a total loss
Guppy glitch is the answer

At first I was like, "Oh, guppy trick. Totally got this."
Then I realized, "Oh no, what? This is a DOUBLE guppy trick!"
Thankfully, I had a good therapy session afterwards which helped me cope with the emotional damage this map caused. That means that I won't have to explain all the upside-down garbage cans in the hotel lobby again.
This is an enjoyable map that made me think. Twice.
Thanks for the map! =)
