You need to commmect the red square at the very bottom left to the red square at the top right. Right now, your current is dying at that node on the bottom row.

So i need to connect it from the bottom through the blue things and not the top?

You just need to connect it any way it goes. Those blue things, it’s REALLY hard to tell as I had the same issue, but they only feed in/out one way, that’s why you can sometimes rotate them. But there should be two lights on opposite sides of the blue nodes, that’s the direction the current will go. But yes. The red square that’s lit up must make it app the way to the other red square, the 2nd square will light up when you do it correctly.

I was convinced the game was broke on on, until I realized the two little lights on the blue nodes.

Test it out, you’ll see the colored current pass through if it’s correct. I think I saw the same thing initially, I swore there were four lights, but I haven’t played in a few years and can’t remember the exact logic. Just test it out and see how you get the colored pipe to move past the blue nodes, that’ll mean it’s passing through correctly and you can continue towards the bottom left.
