Gotcha, thanks. It just kept saying "all systems stable" or something like that, so I didn't have a way to see when I got a valid connection. Basically I opened the settings window and did it as soon as the game started so i am guessing I just triggered it way too early lol
If you connect all nodes then press check stability it will turn the stability count from 4 to 0 . so you don't have to restart the game. Yes it seems the text is bit confusing. sorry
