The steam pipe puzzle.

[Googolplex]

Does anyone know, for what this puzzle is?

I never recognized, that this is a puzzle to repair the steam circuit.

Actually this puzzle caused nothing, I played the game without doing it.

You can repair the machine for the stucked bridge without putting the pipes into the holes.

You can see the picture in the attachement, for what I mean.


So, I think it could be only a planned puzzle what never takes place in the game.
Or for what is this puzzle?
