Outside of the Asylum (A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Tribute)

Description
You've hitchhiked across the galaxy to Earth to hire Detective Dirk Gently for a case, but he's been locked in an asylum by Wonko the Sane. Dirk is waiting for you by the front door, but it will be up to you to get it open.

This room is an homage to Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (as well a reference or two to his Dirk Gently series). No outside knowledge is required, but it will likely be more enjoyable for those who know the references. I don't believe anything in here is a spoiler. It's not really the kind of book you can spoil.

got stuck in the subconsious, how to get out of here ?

Thanks Wollo! I'll merge it tonight. That's a good point that the clue box can be simple and in the vicinity of the puzzle it clues to. For some reason I had it in my head that it would have to be one box that knows what the next puzzle is based on what's already complete, and then chooses the appropriate clue.

Neat room, enjoyed all the Hitchhiker throwbacks! Loved how the dice gives you the order, clever! The room could use more clever puzzles like that, and fewer chores.
The Nutra-Matic Machine becomes unusable if you insert a battery and then remove it again. Merge the item to the slot to avoid that.
A hint system can be very simple if you want: A button and a hidden plane with the hint text that you toggle on with the button.

Great idea to pay tribute to Douglas Adams.
Very very good room for the Hitchhiker of the galaxy.
So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish

No worries, knew it was me missing something. (That's why I play most levels multiplayer ;-)
Everything else worked out for me. Thanks for the level!

I'm so sorry, Chris. I wish I knew how to put in one of those clue boxes, but that's way above my pay grade. If it helps get you started the first clue is the numbers on the note from the Dolphins will help you open the garage door.

I'm a big fan of Douglas Adams, but I had no idea where to even _begin_ with this map. I think it has something to do with the rotating objects, but which ones point what way and why I couldn't imagine. :-(
Still nice work I'll say. I found even opening the editor daunting.

Thanks Enjay! There should be a sound associated. I'll double check and make sure it's working. For some reason I really struggled getting some of the sounds to work, especially on the keypad.
