Quick Answer
Set the controls to blue, then press row 1 buttons 3 and 4, row 2 button 2, and row 3 button 3. G 46B and G 46C aren't two puzzles — they're the two halves of one: for the We Were Here Tomorrow G 46B puzzle, enter these selections on G-46C, counting from the top left. G-46B provides the symbol parts, and the four lamps above G-46C turn white when you finish.
Players search for this one as the G 46B puzzle, the G 46C puzzle, the G-46 puzzle or the 15 button puzzle in Temporal Research — the labels on the two panels, plus the 15 symbol buttons on one of them. It's the same puzzle and the same answer, so this page covers all of them.
Where Is the G 46B Puzzle, and What Do You Need?
Solve G 46B by setting the controls to the blue zone and selecting row 1 buttons 3 and 4, row 2 button 2, and row 3 button 3 on G-46C. You find this paired-panel puzzle in the Temporal Research Centre chapter, with one explorer at G-46B and the other at G-46C. Have your walkie-talkie ready so you can compare the parts with the buttons.
Before entering the selections, identify which panel you have. G-46B has orange screens showing symbol parts and circle rules, plus a yellow screen and a pointer control. G-46C has three rows of five symbol screens, a red button beneath each screen, and four round lamps across the top. The explorer at G-46B describes the target; the explorer at G-46C chooses the pieces that build it.
How Do the G 46B Puzzle Symbols Work?
Combine every part on both rows of G-46B's left orange screen into one finished symbol — nothing more, nothing less. One player's whole explanation on Steam was: "Its all the shapes shown on the left monitor. 2x diamond shape, 1 big circle, 2x small circle, etc." Read across the upper row first, then the lower row, so your partner can keep the two groups straight.
For this solution, the upper row contains two small upward arrows, a diamond, and a horizontal bar with a short vertical line. The lower row contains two separate small circles, another diamond, and a large circle. Count both diamonds: matching one does not cover the other.
The right orange screen places separate circles beside a check mark and touching or overlapping circles beside a cross. Compare that distinction when choosing pieces. A pair of separate circles and a figure-eight shape may sound similar over the walkie-talkie, but they have different connections.
The two small circles are already part of the piece on G-46B's yellow screen. Do not add a stacked-circle or linked-ring button just to account for them.
G-46C's buttons contribute combinations of parts. Describe the whole candidate symbol before pressing it, including its lines and connections. For example, say “a flat bar with an upward arrow at each end” rather than just “the arrows.” That lets the other explorer compare the actual shape with the parts list.
Which Buttons Solve the G 46B Puzzle?
Press the third and fourth buttons in the top row, the second in the middle row and the third in the bottom row. Count rows downward and buttons from left to right on G-46C's three-by-five grid. If the logic still doesn't click, you're not alone — the Steam guide that first posted it just said, "I can't explain why but this is the answer."
- Set the controls to the blue zone. Use the blue region as your target before checking the button selections. On G-46B, the pointer control has grey, red, and blue zones.
- Select row 1, button 3. Look for a flat bar with an upward arrow at each end. This contributes the paired arrows from the upper parts row.
- Select row 1, button 4. Its symbol is a small diamond with a short line. Together, these two top-row selections cover the upper group of parts.
- Select row 2, button 2. Look for a circle with a vertical line through it. This is the middle-row selection for the lower group.
- Select row 3, button 3. Its symbol is a diamond hanging on a stem. This supplies the other diamond rather than substituting for the one selected above.
- Check the four lamps above G-46C. They turn white when the symbol is complete.
The assembled symbol resembles a stick figure: two arrows point upward, a diamond sits at the top, a large circle has a small circle on either side, and another diamond sits at the bottom.
What Should You Check If G 46B Does Not Complete?
Check the blue-zone setting and compare each selected symbol with both rows of parts. Four selections alone are not the goal; those selections must assemble the required symbol.
Have the G-46C explorer read each selected position and describe its full shape. The G-46B explorer can then account for the arrows, both diamonds, the large circle, and the two small circles. Pay particular attention to separate circles versus connected circles.
If your parts screen differs, build from the parts you actually see. Match every part on both rows without adding extra shapes, rather than copying positions that describe a different target.

FAQ
Move the controls into blue and choose top-row buttons 3 and 4, middle-row button 2, and bottom-row button 3 on G-46C. Count each row from the left.
It's the same puzzle as G 46B. With the controls in blue, press top-row buttons 3 and 4, middle-row button 2 and bottom-row button 3 on the G-46C panel, then check that all four lamps turn white.
G-46B is in the Temporal Research Centre, paired with G-46C. You read the required parts at G-46B while your partner operates the symbol buttons at G-46C.
All four round lamps along the top of G-46C become white. The completed symbol has upward arrows, two diamonds, and a large circle flanked by small circles.
Choose pieces that match your displayed parts instead of relying on the listed button positions. Include both rows, avoid extra shapes, and distinguish separate circles from joined ones.
