Will the solarium GOOD ending ever be cleared?

That's how I learned my way around biodome, follow other people around and do what they say/do.

That said I do think some wiki hints would be a good idea. Make them riddles or something so people have to deliberate the meaning.

The thing is the experienced expeditioners are, from what I have observed, kinda fed up with telesci and will go on expeditions either to check on something after getting a hint/stroke of imagination, or to tag along with other nerds and look for the hints, maybe inexperienced players feel like deadweight.

On hints/riddles, I don't like the idea of it. Some general info on what the adventure is and how to get started would be great for noobs, but would kill the endgame.
Forgive me for saying this, but hints are too videogamey. Yes I said it, and no, I do not agree to that bullshit article you are thinking about, hear me out:
Real secrets are not meant to stand out. That crooked brick, the wierd bookcase with an air current, a giant fucking red book in a bookcase filled with tiny black diaries.
It's not fair, but it's how it works.
What tiles are actually pressure plates? Which wall has a secret button? How many roads does the runic talet REALLY open?
Thing are there but you don't see them because you aren't looking for them.
Eventually some guy who doesn't know what he is looking for will uncover a piece of the puzzle, and that's how it's meant o be solved: a bunch of asshats running around having a merry time and tripping on wierd keys and falling down holes. And then, when they finally call it a day, they go to the pub and tell their tales, sharing what they know with anybody in earshot. Some new people will get interested and the cycle repeats until everything has been uncovered.

So I am not saying spoonfeed newbs how to open the cheget or the key order or whatever. But stop being greedy nerds trying to get 1st XD on a 2-d spessman puzzle.
