Levers don't work

[Katanasoul_91]

I'm having problems with levels as they don't seems to be able to connect with anything. No bridges, cages, floodgates, etc.
Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong?

Do you have enough mechanisms?
It takes 2 to link a lever to something.

What you mean? I have a lever, and two tiles from it a bridge, a floodgate, a cage and it doesn't recognize either of them.
When I press 'link lever' it says 'need accessible mechanisms'

You need 1 mechanism to build a lever then 2 more to link it to whatever you want it to activate.
What it is telling you is that you don't have those 2 mechanisms, so you can't tell it what to link the lever to.

Levers can be as far or as close to the things it needs to be linked to, distance makes no difference on the cost, time to setup or delay when activated.

Gods, this was awfully explained but I got it. I need a spare mechanism to tell the level to what I want to connect it with.

Yeah you need 2 mechanisms to connect the lever (not level) to the bridge. That's correct.
