Quick Answer
Set the top row to orange, empty, green, pink; set the bottom row to green, pink, orange, empty. Gray in the book is not a fourth fuse color: gray entries mean empty sockets. In We Were Here Tomorrow, this final Time Crystal panel follows the reference book. Once the layout is accepted, return to the crystal with your partner, interact together, and push forward together.
Where Do You Solve the Time Crystal Final Fuse Layout?
Set the top row to orange, empty, green, pink; set the bottom row to green, pink, orange, empty. This is the final fuse layout in the Time Crystal chapter, where you use the reference book associated with the machine to arrange the panel.
You need the final panel and its book diagram for this step. The diagram describes eight positions, but it does not ask you to insert a fuse into every one. Read the colored entries and the gray entries as parts of the same arrangement.
If you are still working through the earlier Time Crystal fuse panels, keep that step separate. For this final panel, follow the book's arrangement.
How Do You Read the Time Crystal Final Fuse Book?
Read the book as a layout of two rows with four positions in each row. For the instructions below, number the columns 1 through 4 from left to right, starting again at 1 on the bottom row.
The reference book sits on the desk next to the panel. Open it to see the eight-position diagram.
The orange, green, and pink entries tell you which fuse color belongs in a socket. The gray entries tell you to leave that socket empty. There are two placements for each fuse color, leaving two sockets without fuses.
| Book Entry | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Orange | Orange fuse |
| Green | Green fuse |
| Pink | Pink fuse |
| Gray | Empty socket |
Keep the row in every instruction you give your partner. “Third position” by itself is ambiguous here: the top third position takes green, while the bottom third position takes orange. Calling out the row and then the column gives each placement a single destination.
Gray is not a fourth fuse color. Do not look for a white or gray fuse to complete the diagram. Those entries are instructions to leave spaces.
What Is the Time Crystal Orange Green Pink Layout?
Place orange at top 1 and bottom 3, green at top 3 and bottom 1, and pink at top 4 and bottom 2. Leave top 2 and bottom 4 empty.
| Socket | Value |
|---|---|
| Top 1 | Orange |
| Top 2 | Empty |
| Top 3 | Green |
| Top 4 | Pink |
| Bottom 1 | Green |
| Bottom 2 | Pink |
| Bottom 3 | Orange |
| Bottom 4 | Empty |
- Start with orange. Put one orange fuse in the upper-left socket, then put the other in the third socket of the bottom row.
- Place green next. Put one green fuse in the third socket of the top row and the other in the first socket of the bottom row.
- Place pink last. Put one pink fuse in the fourth socket of the top row and the other in the second socket of the bottom row.
- Leave the second socket of the top row and the fourth socket of the bottom row empty.
Working by color lets you finish both placements for one color before moving to the next. Your partner can read each pair from the book while you place it. Keep the empty positions in the callout too, so neither of you treats an unused socket as an unfinished placement.
Does the Time Crystal Eight Fuse Solution Fill Every Socket?
No. The eight fuse solution refers to eight socket positions, with six fuses placed and two sockets left empty.
If your arrangement fills the whole panel, remove the fuses from top 2 and bottom 4. Then compare the remaining colored positions with the book. A full panel does not match this diagram, even if you have used the right colors elsewhere.
Check positions as well as colors: swapping the top and bottom orange placements still gives you two orange fuses, but puts them in the wrong sockets.
What Do You Do After the Final Fuse Layout?
Return to the Time Crystal outside the room, interact with it together, and push forward together after the layout is accepted.
- Leave the panel and return to the crystal.
- Have both players interact with the crystal.
- Push forward together to continue.
Completing the fuse arrangement is followed by this shared crystal interaction. If you are waiting at the finished panel, your next action is back at the crystal with your partner.

FAQ
Arrange the upper row as orange, empty, green, pink, and the lower row as green, pink, orange, empty, reading left to right. You place six fuses across eight sockets.
Match each book entry to its socket: orange, green, and pink specify fuse colors, while gray specifies an empty space. Keep both the row and column in your instructions to your partner.
Orange belongs in the upper-left and bottom-third sockets; green belongs in the top-third and bottom-left sockets; pink belongs in the top-fourth and bottom-second sockets. Keep top-second and bottom-fourth empty.
