The key puzzle underground

[Velman]

Hi Guys, I am totally blocked at the first puzzle in the underground, the number machine that changes the key. I am following your videos and selecting the same number codes, but my light conbinations turn different than yours and I can not continue... help please!

Hey Velman. The solution of that puzzle is randomly generated, it is not passable following a walkthrough, unfortunately. You should look at the puzzle as the classic "Mastermind" game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_(board_game)

The comination resets after you try 7 times (marked by 7 small LED lights above the 4-panel light).

You are going for 4 white lights. A white light means that one of the numbers (or symbols, if you look at the key) is the right one, and it's in the right place in the 4-part combination. A yellow light means that one of the numbers (symbols) is right, but it is not in the right place.

Grab a pen and paper and take notes about your input and the machine's output. I promise it is a fun puzzle once you get the hang of it!

If you decide to skip the puzzle, that's fine too (altough I advise against that, of course :D). In that case please send me over your savefile (so I can send it back to you with the solved puzzle).
Savefiles are at:
On windows:
