Wire puzzle solution
Work backward from the locked door. Each colored cable runs to a mechanism. Goop cubes sit on pressure plates. The Hook Gun pulls or positions the other targets. Every indicator on that door has to stay active. Until the R&D upgrade you can carry one cube.
What I checked
The wire guides refuse to publish a fixed map, and I agree with them. I walked the method twice on the page and did not invent a color-to-lever chart. If your cables differ from a video, trust the door in front of you.
Method, not a fixed diagram
This opens once both of you have the Hook and the Goop tools, after the shrinking lab.
- Stand at the locked door and count the cables, not the buttons.
- Pick one color and follow it to a plate or a hook point.
- The Goop player weights plates. The Hook player pulls latches.
- Leave that indicator on while you trace the next color.
- A door with three cables needs all three mechanisms live.
- If you need a second cube, you are early: the upgrade is in R&D.
Common stalls
Dropping the only cube to go fetch another tool closes the plate you just solved. Call that out before anyone lets go. A layout in a video can be a different state of the same puzzle, so do not rewind your own board to match a thumbnail.
Questions
Is there a universal wire color order?
No text source I checked gives one. Trace the cables.
Why can I hold only one cube?
That limit lasts until the prototype upgrade in R&D Headquarters.
Is this the power-network puzzle?
No. That one is a module route in R&D. This one is a door and its cables.
Keep going
