Description
NOTICE
This map is only compatible with the pre-SE2017 legacy branch. Change to it by right-clicking your Talos Principle game in the Library, going to "Properties" and then "Betas", finally selecting the "legacy" branch from the dropdown menu. Take care, as this has a chance to delete your main game save files. Back them up first.

Orbital is set on the mysterious Enigma Space Station, in a geosynchronous orbit around Earth. As you soon find out that you are not alone in this place, it is up to you to solve eight challenging and intriguing new puzzles to uncover the truth of this 'enigmatic' Space Station. There are also five bonus stars to collect, and a small reward for finding them all.

I would like to thank noam 2000 for offering to help me by testing the map and giving his general feedback, and Solais for providing the Additional Laser Colors Resource. Everything else is made by me, with the exception of a few outside resources here and there.

Just to be sure, you're running the game from the legacy branch as outlined in the description, right?

If that's not helping, check that the file at this location: `{Steam installation path}\steamapps\common\The Talos Principle\Temp\SteamWorkshop\ContentPath_257510.txt`
Contains this line: "${Steam installation path}/steamapps/workshop/content/257510"

If that still doesn't help, here's a rather drastic option you could take:
- Navigate to this folder: `{Steam installation path}\steamapps\workshop\content\257510\484930087`
- You'll find a .bin file here. Copy it to: `{Steam installation folder}\steamapps\common\The Talos Principle\Content\Talos`
- Rename the file to give it the ".gro" extension instead of ".bin".
- Now you can start the game in the moddable mode and the campaign should appear.

I'm not sure if this is the most efficient means to do it, but at the very least the second option should work.

I have no idea why none of your content will not play on Talos P. I have tried everything to my knowledge. Have any suggestions?

The term is likely "geosynchronous" rather than "geocentric".. which is how the TV/communications satellites orbit.. in one massive "ring"

Needless to say I figured it out after playing a bit farther. I really liked this mod. Good use of extra colors, unique environments, good level of difficulty on the puzzles, and none of the recording was 4d chess bullshit. Never did find the QR code for the last star, I eventually looked it up. Nice work!

What is the key in Warehouse for? I combed the whole level and never saw it. Had me convinced that the star is there. The only thing I think I could be missing is some pocket only accessible from the top of the walls, but I can't seem to get up there. Am I missing something?

"...geocentric orbit around Earth" is redundant mate. Geocentric literally means "with Earth in the center."

Fun, challenging puzzles, and great colors. It really made me feel like I was in outer space. I especially liked the pipe walking star. I like it when puzzle collections have a mission and a theme behind them. Well Done!
