{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Driller=true|Purple barrier=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
To reach this puzzle, after finishing [[Placement|Puzzle 4]], walk around the puzzle to its back and follow the road.

As you enter the puzzle, you find a driller and a connector in the main area. Near the center of the puzzle, there are two rooms on either side, with a set of purple barriers creating a passageway between them. In the left room is a red emitter. In the right room is a red receiver and another connector, and the receiver deactivates a blue door on the other side. There are copper walls for both the rooms. Beyond the purple barriers is a twisty passageway that leads to a red reciever that gives access to the progress wheel.

==Hints==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Keeping Connections'', you will have to use the alternate use key in order to pick up a connector while maintaining its connections.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're struggling to get started|Your first task is to activate the red receiver in the right room. Think how you can do that.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you got the second receiver and then are stuck|Remember that lasers can pass through purple barriers.}}
