(Bug) World 1 - Glean - Fan Strength Increase
Assuming current patch since Steam Workshop is letting me play it.

There's a fan you use at the start of the puzzle, just has enough strength to get you up to a ledge you can place connectors to open the yellow and purple laser gate.

After you solve that part, there's a button you can use to open the gate so you can get all of the other puzzle pieces back. However, when you activate the button, the fan you just used starts blowing much stronger.

Can place a cube on the fan, stand on the cube and you can jump to the nearby star. Can also put a connector on the higher cube instead and make a bunch of the puzzles easier. (I was able to collect the laser star with the 3 connectors that you get in glean, other than sending the laser you need from the puzzle you need). Probably can make some of the other puzzles much easier too if I had did Glean first instead of last.

The fan strength is permanent until a map reset, and just needs to have that button triggered once. Just running over the button is enough. I thought it was weird but intended for a while, but then I noticed the other passageway for the star puzzle. Then went back through and saw there were ways to do the parts I used the extra sky high connector for instead with the pieces I had.




Also, from that ledge you're intended to get to from the fan, you can jump into the star fan area. Can't get to the star from it, but can get to the button that opens the gate using it. Probably not worth fixing but it's there if you wanted to try.
