It's great to see someone was able recreate the Vaults. That really helps me have the motivation to complete the puzzles I do have. And possibly purchase the remaining that I don't. I have all four volume three issues, and the final box of 2017 volume. That should leave me with volumes 1 & 2, and the first three quarters of volume 4 to purchase? Is there anything else I should purchase before they run out of stock? Honestly, I wouldn’t bother with the rest of Volume 4.

Ok, its ready. www.braingle.com/brainteasers/cnc_vault/index.phpIm fairly confident that I squashed all the bugs and reproduce the vault fairly accurately. There are two features of the original vault that I did not reproduce. 1) The daylight locks would be invisible until you met certain requirements. I just have all the locks visible. The hiding thing was difficult and didn't seem strictly necessary since you can't solve the daylight puzzle without those requirements anyway. 2) The original vault's daylight puzzles had symbols beneath them that indicated which puzzles were necessary to solve them. I didnt reproduce this because it was a lot of extra work and this information is already included in the puzzle diagram that was in the paper. Please let me know if you encounter any problems, and thanks to all the people here who helped me out by providing the information I needed and testing to make sure it worked properly.

You rock. It is still missing the "letters" that appear when you solve the night puzzles. I feel like we should/could/still can retroactively kickstart this project for you to reimburse you.

I feel like we should/could/still can retroactively kickstart this project for you to reimburse you. The phonemes that appear when you solve a Vol 3 Night lock should be showing up below the lock icon after you solve it. If this isnt happening, then its some strange bug. Maybe you could take a screenshot of what you see and DM it to me so I can figure it out. It was a pleasure to do this mini-project and it only took 8 hours so it wasnt a big deal, but if you want to return the favor, please check out the rest of my website where the vault is located. It has lots of puzzle related things that I think you guys will like.

I received a reply today, it seems they are listening somewhat...

At this point, I think the same email has been posted a half dozen times.
