Ah! I almost got it, then. But having the details in front of me instead of guessing them really helped clear my mind for solving the puzzles. Ideally I’d want puzzles that make the rules clear on their own, instead of having them explained through text - but the rules here are a bit technical, and I can’t seem to think of what sort of gameplay would help me understand what I missed. Tough game.
I went back to the game (luckily it remembered I was at Hivemind) and finished the rest of the levels. :) Thanks for explaining what I missed!
