It's hard
 

Okay it took me a while to get this but try to understand this. The 4 way intersection piece is not a 4 way intersection, it actually to straight piec over each other.

Just look at the pieces closely, if you do it right only the horizontal section light up. I might have confused you, sorry, but if it makes you feel better it took me like a half hour to do it.

Sorry my diagrams got messed up, up there.
just read my words. :D

Now you made me feel worse! I have been trying for well over an hour and still don't get it. Is it an over 40 thing??

im 13!! i did it!!

This is a really difficult thing to explain. :uhm:

Basically you have to understand that power doesn't just flow down all possible routes in these circuits, it follows a directed path depending upon the orientation of the 3-way (T-piece) junctions. These junctions have a little arrow inside them that points down the middle route, this is the direction in which power will flow from the junction.

The unmoveable cross junctions (+ shaped) don't send power out in all four directions, only in the opposite direction to which the power came in from.

So with the Attrexian engineer puzzle you have to arrange the T-piece junctions top right of the puzzle so that they send the power around in a circle and send it to the target rather than up into one of the short circuits.

Flippin eck it's hard to put into words! :lol:

I want to thank everyone for their help. I put the game down for awhile came back with a fresh start and got it. I never would have figured this out on my own.

Thanks you

Yeah those constant puzzles are annoying. That was the hardest one I've done so fat (I'm up to the mission after the attrexian base.)

The other thing that pisses me off is constantly having to protect people. uggg.
