How to solve lift puzzle?

So the first wiring puzzle seems really overly-complicated, as the line to the ending requires you to eventually get to that blue-cross. Since that other red node is blocking it to the left we have to access it from the right, but I can't find any way to connect to the start node from here. What do?

You have to connect the 2 lit buttons. One at the bottom middle and the one at the top right. Its not too complicated.

Also "browse local files" and youll find a PDF Manual about the game that explains this and more.

It's all obvious because these things are explained in the game's PDF manual.

it could be made a tad bit more obvious that some of those blue nodes let power flow...
I haven´t read a manual... in decades, frankly :p
I also didn´t know there IS a manual to begin with...very retro^^ I like it

Could be worse I think mine spawned broken. Only 2 of my blue nodes have pass through... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2982831712

Wait hang on, are these puzzles randomized?

Yeah I was starting to feel like a real idiot here. My install directory or any other directory off it did not have a manual. But after clearing everything accessible on Medical, I went back to the lift puzzle to try and figure that out again, only to fail. I've restarted the game on different difficulties and solved those puzzles with no issues, so I've come to the conclusion that the puzzle on my original game is bugged. It does not match the layout in any screenshot I have yet to see. So yeah, a little ticked. Starting over on the same skill level for puzzles give me the same puzzle.

Yeah, unlike the og system shock, all of the relay puzzles and system codes (except for the first one, 451) are slightly randomized to prevent skips.

You guys should see these on puzzle difficulty 3, oftentimes the entire board is yellow tiles, changed by a multitude of blues.

I think some of the puzzles are plain bugged (difficulty 2):

Is there some kind of "item" to force solve them in the future or its screwed?

Edit: Found it on a different floor

There are logic probes, also your solution in the screenshot is incomplete, there is only one route to the lit destination square button and you aren't there.

Work backward from the goal and you should quite easily find the solution to that one. They aren't that hard :)

You keep trying til you figure it out, that's the whole point of puzzles lmfao.

Think and try out.

If it's too hard for you, try with a lower difficulty setting for the puzzles. But, really, they're absolutely doable even on 3.

It's not bugged, you almost had it. The trick is to work backwards.

Thanks, guess its not. Well I've used the probe anyway after like 10 attempts.
Some of them are really easy while others are really nasty.

The puzzles are not broken.
I seen so many of these post saying they are broken, and all have been solvable from what i seen.
My best advice is if the solution you believe should work isn't working, maybe you should look at the puzzle in a different way.
Just because you think you are right doesn't mean you are, and switching your perspective may help in those situations.
