This room is tricky if you don't know how fluff works,
and right now there's no in-game doc:
here's the Fluff Rules thread that renders the room straightforward (fluff no-brainer!).

disoriented wrote:
I've been going through The Second Sky without reading the in-game FAQ (in order to discover how things work myself), but I've been struggling with some of the rooms in More Fluff, and so would like to better understand how fluff/puffs work.

It seems that puffs seek out the nearest non-puff enemy using roach beeline movement, and will congeal into fluff if they would otherwise form a 2x2 square of puffs (instead of doing so).

What other elements kill fluff and puffs?

What determines when a puff congeals onto a blob of fluff (or not)?

When does a fluff vent dispense a puff, and when does it instead increase the size of any fluff on/near the vent, and by what degree?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I have a problem here.

Trying to get the fluffball to kill the brain: .

I cannot draw it along the corridor from outside because it inevitably makes for one of the darker squares and merges with the existing fluffcloud.

I cannot get it to go down the final corridor from (13,15) to (19,15) because, in order to get it that far down the corridor, I have had to make it follow me down the rest of the winding corridor, and - while there is, technically, space to pass it (between (12,15) and (13,16), it immediately turns round and either follows me back or merges. I cannot find any sequence of moves that makes it go down the corridor towards the brain!

I obviously cannot allow it to reach (14,15) while I am still in between it and the brain - but there's nowhere else to move or pass it in the corridor without it attempting to make for one of the dark-coloured squares...

The last stretch would be easier if you were on the outside, but as you've seen, you can't do the entire room from the outside. Can you go inside first and then come out?

Sounds like it's getting distracted by the brain.
