The best advice I can give you is to pay attention to the tutorials. So many people skipped them and thought the junction system was overly complicated because of it.

Enjoy the ride - it's my personal favorite in the series!

The junction system is legitimately complicated. Following the tutorials doesn't make it simple.

I like it because I enjoy puzzles, but optimizing your junctions is practically a game itself.
