Introduction

If you've reached any difficult bombs, you know that miscommunication and repetitive questions are a surefire way to blow up. Especially when you have multiple experts.
All it takes is one person to slip up and, metaphorically speaking, everybody explodes.

So I made this edit of the original manual, composed of every useful method for cracking vanilla modules that I can find. (Mostly from Cypher's steam guides.)
Remade, redrawn, and rewritten into a nice, crisp format for easy reading.

In the beginning I just remade Complicated Wires, because Venn diagrams are awful.
Then I decided to just continue editing every page, with the intention to reduce confusion for experienced vanilla players, thus increasing speed.

Please send me any changes you feel necessary. Whether this be a graphic, chart, description, or method that helps with vanilla. Or something you feel needs to be removed.

Also, the yellow text (on button and keypads) is a little hard to read, maybe consider using an outline?

On the subject of Knobs there is an easier way - look at the first column where both LEDs are on; column 3: up, column 2 or none: down, column 5: left, column 1: right (you can also check all columns with both LEDs, the list becomes 35/36: up, 236/<none>: down, 5: left, 135/13: right

on the subject of mazes there is a trick where the two circles are never duplicated in another maze. top left = AF, top middle = BE, top right = DF, middle left = AA, middle middle = DE, middle right = CE, bottom left = BB, bottom middle = CD, bottom right = AC
