Need help with Ferro complete the circuit

[Yakku]

Good day
I need some help with the first puzzle of the game and unfortunately the wiki is not of much assistance to me.
I am blind and I am playing with a screen reader, I have progressed quite far in the game before when playing as a mercenary, but I do not enjoy the play style and want to try the tech specialist. Unfortunately I cannot bypass the puzzle by just blowing it up when I play as a tech specialist.
Can someone assist me with the solution to the puzzle?
Because my screen reader does not tell me the position in which the different circuits are currently in I cannot tell how to manipulate the dynamic couplings to get everything aligned correctly. What I would need in order to solve the puzzle is for someone to tell me exactly how many times to press on each dynamic coupling. I used the puzzle guide on the wiki for the lights on and off mini-game later in the dungeon, that format of solution was perfect. unfortunately with this puzzle the solution is posted as an image which just shows the completed circuit.
Naturally I will also be using the exploit vulnerability version of the puzzle as it is much simpler than the alternative.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Can your reader see the Grid? Columns are labeled 0, 1, 2 (left to right), Rows are A, B, C, top to bottom.

1A once
2B once
2C three times
B0 once

Alternatively, if you can use the Cheat Menu, you can give yourself Entropy Gremlins, which allow you to bypass the puzzles completely.

Thank you very much! That did the trick!

The entropy gremlins sounds like it would help a great deal since I know I will encounter more of this mini-game later on. However, according to the interwebs you need to click on the dot of the i in the game's logo to enable the menu and I definitely will not be able to do that. There is no way for me to locate something that specific with my mouse, I am restricted to keyboard navigation. If you know of any other method by which to activate the cheat menu please let me know.

Thanks again for the help.

If you tell us your screen resolution someone could try to find the coordinates of the dot on the i on your screen, which would allow you to click it (if nothing else by writing a quick autohotkey script or something). Iirc there's also other ways to access the cheat menu, I however do not remember them. I hope someone else who knows more about the technical side of this game can come in and help you.

It's as simple as changing a zero into a one. Fire up a json editor, find the flag CHEATS_ENABLED and change the value.

Thank you for the replies.

I tried the JSON editor, I figured I should edit the save file? I could not locate the CHEATS_ENABLED flag. I cannot see your screenshot, but I could get some of the text with OCR. I could locate some of the other flags like customMannequin, but I could not find anything with the word "cheat" in it. I tried using notepad and Firefox as editors. Ctrl+F came up empty, I made sure to expand everything before searching. Is that flag always listed by default?

As for my screen resolution, it's 2560x1440. I don't know if coordinates are going to be fool proof though since depending on whether you are playing browser vs Electron, or full screen vs maximised might throw it off by a bit. I am willing to give it a try though.

You might be able to simply add the flag to your save.
"CHEATS_ENABLED":1

If the Cheats Menu proves difficult to navigate, you might also be able to add Entropy Gremlin (one word) to your inventory directly.
{"classInstance":"EntropyGremlin","quantity":100}
They seem to have a silly max stack size, 100 should be enough.

You might also be able to upload your save here and one of us can add them for you.

The screenshot reads
customMannequin : {2 props}
SEEN_JASVALLA_LOOMING : 1
JASVALLA_TAVROS : 1
CHEATS_ENABLED : 1
as best as I can tell (it's possible there's a space one place or another that I didn't properly copy over)
It seems possible that the cheats_enabled flag doesn't appear until you enable cheats? but I wouldn't know.

I tried editing the save to add the flag and/or the item, but I keep breaking the save. Since I am using notepad the syntax or structure of the save gets a bit confusing. It seems obvious to me that you cannot just throw this in under a heading, it has to be in the right place and I don't know where that place is.

Can you perhaps send me a save where the cheat menu is enabled? I am sure that I will be able to figure it out if I can see where exactly the flag should be placed. I tried adding it to the start and the end of the flags section, once with braces and once without and it broke the save every time.

If you don't want to send a whole save, maybe you can just paste the line from your save that shows what is before and after the cheats enabled bit. Maybe specifically when opened with notepad since that is what I'm using to edit my save.

This is going way beyond what I intended to achieve with this post, but getting a way to bypass all puzzles is just too tempting for me. I know I am going to get stuck again.

Thanks for your help.

1. In my save it's at the end of the Flags. Probably because it was the last flag changed.
2. There are no spaces in
"CHEATS_ENABLED":1
I have no idea how your screen reader will see that.
3. There are commas between each flag and a bracket at the start and end of the section, but not in the middle. No spaces between commas and flags, either.

Edit: Here's a save from the start of the game with Cheats enabled, and 100 Entropy Gremlins in the Inventory. Hopefully, one of those will help.

 

[Yakku]

Thank you so much! That is perfect, I got the cheat menu to work with that, I think I added an unnecessary quotation mark at the end of the flag in my initial edit. Your example save also helped me see where the flag will not interfere with other entries.

And, just for the record, I can navigate the cheat menu fine, added the gremlins without issue.

I am so excited to get into this now!

The new version of TiTS is soooo much easier to navigate. The flash version was not even worth attempting with a screen reader.

Thanks for all the assistance, I honestly did not expect this much help. You went beyond what I would consider normal levels of effort to assist.
