There are 12 notes and 12 buckets with different "sound wave" sap trails. Maybe something to do with that, like how many times to play note / in what order / with lever up or down.

The key is oriented in a way that it will be inserted to the lower left so you may have to adjust so that it lines up with the hole.

Thanks

I've been staring at this panel so much.  I've clicked every buckets. It just keeps disapearing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. every click.. no matter where.... I've tried pretty much everything... THEN I NOTICED IT. how empty the potato cup is. how it pleads to be filled. it pleads to be full. SO I DECIDED TO BE NICE. I decided to fill it myself, hoping our overlords hear my plea and take my offering and give us more 

Is it possible to get that image with the full glass in ARG or did you edit the image yourself?

I'm convinced this music puzzle has to do with the "Banking" paper on the day side.

It says "Voxola Radio Company" on it and there's a date and the numbers 1, 2, 7 and 5 visible.

This paper, for now, is still something we haven't use.

- The labels on the test tubes should be fixed now, everyone should see the same numbers and the timezone should be correct - let me know if this is not the case for you. Reminder for everybody that the test tubes are NOT one of the clues for the musical door puzzle (free hint you got because of our bugs!).
- Resetting your state is ready for beta testing. We'll be out until the new year so I recommend against testing it unless you're OK with the possibility of bugs we missed! https://exspectamus.dontstarvetogether.com/ResetProgress
- Best of luck with the puzzle, and thanks for being amazing!

the musical door puzzle is so hard, has anyone managed to solve it?

The bunker door makes three different sounds depending on where you click on it. I'm pretty sure I got in by doing the left side of the wheel for yellow (one type of squeak), the right side for red (different squeak), and the actual dome of the bunker door (hollow sound) for the circle with a dot.

I can't get in still (resolved)

It's too difficult. I've tried every method I could think of to solve the musical door puzzle, but nothing works. Maybe the blinking light here could provide a hint? I feel like the structure here is very similar to the musical door puzzle.

It's just this combination of clicks using the comment you quoted.

Yellow is the left side of the wheel, red is the right side of the wheel and the big circle with a circle in the middle is the hatch itself.

So basically:
Left, left, hatch, left, right, hatch, hatch, left, right.

we have not! that's what we're currently working on

[Nikki Darks]

I really hope that the musical puzzle has something to do with something within the comic itself.

I mention this because certain people are theorycrafting possible DST sounds to reproduce in the puzzle....

Wait, it's the sides of the wheel? I thought it was the little circle inside. It worked for me that way, lol.

The sheer number of combinations possible for the musical lock--anywhere from zero to twenty-four notes across anywhere from one to twenty beats, which I think means the possible number of variations is more than the number of atoms in the entire universe--means that the answer must be extremely clear somewhere. We're not going to just brute force this puzzle, or stumble upon the right combination by accident. Presumably even one note being off will make it not work. I would think, when we find and understand whatever clue we have available to us, we'll know exactly what to do. So if whatever idea we have is not extremely clear, then probably that's not the right answer. Or at least it seems that way to me.

Currently these 2 bits remain unused. Soooo, it could be somewhat related to them.

[MrKoopa]

2 things.

Has anyone else noticed that the round holes on the rotary phone rotates sometimes when you press them? Or maybe it is after I have pressed the red button? Don't remember.

 

Also I wonder if something might appear in one of the panels when it's 2:07 PM, 1:49 PM, 2:36 PM, 2:22 PM or 2:12 PM. Might also need to click on something during those times.

[mathem99]

Now one mentioned this yet, so...

Spoiler

This stub of a deposit has the name George Witherstone, THE Witherstone that sold magical props to William Carter. Why does Wagstaff of all people have a deposit stub in George's name? And what is inside this deposit?

After carefully thinking about it, it's mostly Witherstone being one of the people who had a share on the making of the company and this is the stub that says the amount George deposited on the starting of the company.

I made an account just to say this:
1st of all i love the memes, keep going
and 2nd of all, what if the 6 in 643 mean the number of notes on the copper coil, the 4 is "4 and above the lever is up" and 3 is "3 and below the level is down"
And the 1275 in the voxola bit could be the buttons on the rotary phone. Ill try it out but this may not be it. These ARE the last 2 hints we havent used after all.

I think one of the Klei devs told us to ignore the times on the bottles, or that they have nothing to do with the musical door puzzle.

Do we know of any songs from DST or DS that have 25 notes or fewer? Because, if I understand music correctly, it seems that we can use piano notes, as they are the same colors (white for natural notes and black for sharps/flats). The lever on the right can also change the octave of a note. Also I tried translating words like Exspectamus and Manifestum Voxola into notes, but it had no effect.
