Golden Dome puzzle help

[camann]

Specifically the colored sliders... I'm fairly certain of the rest. Could someone nudge me in the right direction? The only indication I've found is in Ghen's lab but that only shows how to make green.

The key is in Ghen's lab, that's absolutely correct.

Light spoilers:
There's a puzzle you've got to solve to determine one part of the equation, then it's a simple matter of matching the islands to the proper equations.

Heavier spoilers:
One of the papers in Ghen's lab tells you about a base frequency and adjustments that need to be made for each dome. The domes correspond to islands and each has a corresponding symbol. Another paper nearby includes formulas + or - the base frequency value, which you can determine by solving another small puzzle in the lab. Finally, the slider colors represent islands as well, which can be found in another area.

Since there's ultimately only one color order you can set the sliders in, simply figuring out the correct set of numbers should let you set the sliders correctly.

Thanks! I'd overlooked the papers lying next to the device. lol

Hmm I'm stuck on this the colors don't change per play through right? The numbers I got were -5 -1 +10 +13 + 16 base value was 9 but I put all the sliders in the right spot and nothing happend

The specific values do change.

Are you sure you also got the rest of the puzzle correct? Nothing happens until it's all finished.

I had issues at first too. I believe what made the difference was realizing that the first "tick" of the slider is 0, not 1 (or maybe I'm reversing that, but either way, it made a difference of 1 for all sliders), and then it worked.

I don't get this thing at all.
In the lab the only colour i can "make" is really bright white.

I don't understand the number system what so ever. But i i got 4 of them i think(thanks to the steam guide), but the last that looks like an [N I] nope, no chance.

the sliders are killing me, i have all the numbers but not sure how to apply them to the tick marks on the slider because the red one is a +12 and its the first one. im sure my math isnt correct on where to put these but i have no clue how base numbers work. my value for the marble test was a 9 but im not sure what to do from there

The base value needs to be treated as 0. So you count to 9 first for all of them, and do your plus or minus modifications from there.
