OK, I now have a bunch of comments about the tutorials. Should I post them here? Also, I only got through #97, finishing the Liquid Robotics section and then it takes me back to the beginning. How do I get to the rest?
Fantastic - thanks! Perhaps it’d be easiest to link them in a Google doc and send me a link through Eterna with a PM. That way I can respond directly to each comment, and track ones where we are making changes. If you don’t want to do that, just PM me and we can figure something out. You can always post them here, too.
Caleb: do you have thoughts as to why Rocketdog42 is getting bounced back to the beginning after Liquid Robotics?
I’m going to PM you because, except for a few, most of my comments are not about a specific lesson. If you want me to be more specific, I can go through again and give specific comments.
Also, I tried using Firefox instead of Safari after Liquid Robotics and still get kicked back to the beginning.
Thanks for bringing this up, Rocketdog42! Are you taken back to your “lab” after earning the Liquid Robotics badge? If so, what badges are being displayed to you? Are you not given the option to continue working on the Super Computer badge, or is it the Super Computer’s “Go” button link that takes you to the first puzzle? Sorry for all of the questions, but thanks in advance for helping me track down this issue!
Hey Caleb, Got your email regarding my being stuck. When I get to the end of Liquid Robotics, it says “What’s Next?”. When I click on that it brings me back to my “medicine” home page, Invent Medicine, where I have been given all the badges I should have gotten and the info on what games I solved is correct. There is no mention anywhere about the Super Computer puzzles. Thanks again,
How many points do you have?
Caleb, I have 40,200 pts and rank 1362. BUT All of a sudden when I went to the site, I have the SuperComputer link there, so I can continue. Weird, it just showed up this time.
Great, thats because I just fixed the issue! Thanks for letting me know–I was just trying to figure out how to test my fix. Basically, we are updating the requirements for “lab access”, and you were granted access prematurely. In the current game, it is granted after earning 10,000 points, but with the new progression, users will be required to complete the entire puzzle progression (earn all 10 tools) before being granted lab access. Thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention and helping me resolve it. I apologize for the inconvenience!
Ok, here’s my feedback, sorry I delayed so long. Pardon the length, it was a lot of just kinda spit as I had thoughts.

Thanks for taking a look!
I have commenting on to make any needed clarifications easier.
Btw post from Elves with the link to the altest dev chat log, which includes some feedback: https://getsatisfaction.com/eternagame/topics/eterna-medicine-going-live-please-help-find-bugs-d
Sweet - thank you SO MUCH for all of the detailed feedback. You make some strong points that I hope we can address moving forward. I’ll post some comments in your doc soon.
Best,
Ben
I just took the 10 min survey and was dropped out of my working on the puzzles. Hope that gets fixed.
I’m really enjoying the new site…Very well done.
Oh good. I think there should be some more point-controlled unlocks and perhaps some more switch challenges, and some 3 state challenges.
I’m working my way thru the puzzles, and absolutely loved having to bring up the lab score to solve one of them. I’d like to suggest that the lab score be made a requirement for each puzzle. If we are afraid of scaring away too many players, we could at least always have the score there to show us where our puzzle-solve would qualify in the lab. That way, if we’re interested in that, we’d have that as information even if it isn’t necessarily required to pass the puzzle.
Also, so as not to interrupt the flow of the game, we could have a button called ‘find out more’ to press if we want to learn more about the subject of the puzzle. This would direct us to a guide to that, particular aspect of the puzzle.
So far, I love this version of Eterna, and am learning so much more from it.
Please, keep up the excellent work. It’s much appreciated by us!!!

I’ve been trying out the new “medicine” beta on the dev server.
When clicking on the PLAY button,(Next Generation SEQUENCER), "Notice: IOError:Could not open csv Error #2032 ioError"trying to access www.medicine.eternadev.org/game/puzzle/3390199/
Hi whbob,
Thanks for reporting - the medicine site is under construction a bit today and over the weekend as Caleb migrates some stuff over to the main site. Sorry about that. We’ll post a news item when it’s back up and running.
Best,
Ben
There has been an issue with the nucleotied mixer not working. This is being reported by adrianwu.
