Hello everyone,

I have quick question.

Spoiler below!
I'm at the yellow digging machine, and I've already put in the gasoline and sticked the key in the control panel. Now it says theres no power so I try to connect the power cabinet with the control panel with the cable. How do I get the cable in correctly? I use the physics but everytime one of them hangs in, and I try to put the other one in, the other side falls out of the socket again. Is there any trick for this?

Thanks in advance ppl.

It sounds like a bug, can you upload the saved game for this part? Make sure you zip the saved game first because I do not think .sav files will be accepted by the forum.

Sorry, I got it already, I had the wrong sides. When I turned the cable around it worked perfectly :)
