Ive seen this a couple times
My suggestion is to allow it
But when you go between them, use clockwork tunnels
So it would be like

Example I - Example II

You go to example I
For a small fee of energy, like 5 or something
You can go through a clockwork tunnel that connects to example II
It would cost 5 energy total, none to reach example II once you finish the tunnel
It would give us more fun areas, fun imo, and give an actual use to clockwork tunnels
Haunted would connect like graveyards
Overgrown for aurora isles, that kind of stuff
And deconstruction zone would be a version of the tunnels
The gremlins are deconstructing the path between them
These tunnels would be made harder than they are now
Any thoughts on this idea?
