It’s been a while since I did a “me being stuck in a puzzle” thread.
I picked up Lumino City a while ago, and then abandoned it when I got stuck on this rotation puzzle.

I assume I’m supposed to push the rotation buttons make the triangles be in the same place they are in the diagram.
I can also look in the book in my inventory for some related info, but unless I’m missing something, I have to manually turn to page 223 to do this!
I have tried pushing the buttons in the order described in the book, bc why not try that, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Overall, I find this puzzle frustrating bc I’m not really getting any intermediate feedback.
I assume the middle hexagon isn’t controlled by the buttons, and the next three are. The shapes by the buttons make sense that way.
If that’s right, then the next hexagon out is also in the correct position, which is consistent with the instructions about which buttons to press given in the book.

To get the thing looking like the diagram, the outermost hexagon seems like should be turned 3x in either direction, and the dodecagon seems like it should be turned 2x to the right.
But when I do that and then press the stairs button, I get nothing!
Hmm, so the fine print says to remember to oil the gears. That could be important.
But all I have in my inventory other than the book is a lemon seed.
The other page in the book in the book under market is about gears, but I don’t see any clues there about how to oil them.
