  • Collect the upgraded Norček prototype.

Common stuck points

Frequently asked questions

Where is the cable / generator puzzle?

In R&D Headquarters (Routing Power / server-room cables). Use the dedicated cable puzzle page for Hint → Solution.

Why does restored power still look unsolved?

Wrong intermediate power states look identical to “not solved yet.” Reset to a known baseline, change one thing, and have your partner confirm before stacking more moves.
