Quarry - second door. Help would be nice^^
So basically from what I understand from tetris pieces puzzles:
-if the shape is slightly dangle, doesn't matter the direction of the piece
-if its straight, got to fit it that way
-the shape got to includ the square with the hint

So how can the bottom L can fit in that grid? I managed few tetris puzzles so far...
Do I miss something?(obviously yes, but the solution is most welcome)

I've had difficulty solving this one, I left it closed and told myself it is nicer closed than open. Instead, I solved the puzzles in the Orange Forest and then you can access the quarry from there.

Fun fact: Door puzzle is harder than all the puzzles together in the quarry.

You need to figure out what happens when the areas of two tetris pieces combine.

There is an earlier tutorial puzzle that will help you with this. The one you have in front of you is a test to know if you 'get it'.

The solution to the problem would be exactly the same if the two tetris pieces were drawn in the other's position

And for something pretty spolierific: Start going right one, up two, then right two, then down two, then right one

so, without giving the answer, yes, they have to be in the same orientation as the tetris piece, yes, they have to include the tetris pieces, but as long as both shapes will fit in the area, it doesnt matter which piece goes where.

So put the shape on the left on the right, and vice versa, when you are drawing the line.

I've read this thread and still I don't understand this puzzle. I'm bitter.

Then the game should check if the player did the tutorial first, instead of letting them go further without doing the tutorial, no?

No, the game doesn't really check anything because exploring and figuring things out is the main concept. If you can't understand how to solve a puzzle, it means that you should skip it and come back later.
Yep you have to think more to understand the rules.

If only the game placed a proper tutorial BEFORE the puzzle instead of placing it god only knows where lol
It's part of the game. The game IS tutorial.
