How exactly do junction box puzzles work?

[Javier]

I see it’s obviously a circuit, but sometimes I get the circuit through one of the blue circles and it doesn’t pass through the blue circle tile.

Hope I’m articulating myself understandably. The orange wires stop glowing once I reach one of those “blue circles”.

What am I doing wrong?

[Javier]

Ahhh, I thought the blue tiles were cross joints similar to Tee joints like in plumbing.

Really lame you can barely see the circuit lines on the blue circle tiles on the steam deck

You can barely see some of them on pc too. The nodes need a bit of a redesign.

Also, there's a manual pdf in the install folder with explanations for both types of junction boxes. And a lot of lore.

I think there's an option in the settings somewhere to lock the screen into puzzles instead of having you physically stand near them and interact, not sure how much that helps but I too remember having to actually 'crouch' now and then to see underneath some of those L shape nodes to see what direction they were pointing.

I can't even imagine trying it on a small screen like a Steamdeck

[Seamus]

The locked angle doesn't help much with the blue nodes.

[Morgian]

There is a mod that turns off the lighting on locked on puzzles, which removes the glare and makes them easier to see.

The blue circles can have two lines at their border, through which a current will pass, either straight or at an angle. They are hard to see, though.

[Javier]

Yeah, I think the circles need to be smaller or something. Definitely a design flaw imo

Thanks for the help guys.
