How to Solve the Comms Array Puzzle

Flow Power from the Generator to the Center Node

The goal of this puzzle is to lead power from the Generator next to the Communication Control Graph to the center node on the ceiling, via the Satellites placed in each of the nodes along the walls.

There are several possible solutions from the nodes you are given, but since there is no Satellite which moves power directly forward, you'll need to use at least 6 to reach the center.

How to Move Satellites and Direct Power

Use your Kinesis to lift satellites out of their current nodes and place them in other nodes. Pull out unwanted nodes and put new ones in their place to make the pattern you want.

The Satellites will each direct power through the directions indicated by the symbol written on them. Broken nodes with the No Power symbol won't direct power at all and can be thrown out of the way.

Check the Communication Control Graph to See Your Status

The graph next to the Generator labeled Communication Control will show how power is currently flowing. If you think you've completed the puzzle but aren't getting any results, check the graph and see if there's a satellite somewhere that isn't directing the power correctly.
