magnum opus thread. in the fourth chapter now. i feel like now i'm able to at least start getting an idea how to build these things as soon as i see the product, at first i had some difficulty. still not the best, but i'm solving them. post solutions
Magnum opus thread. in the fourth chapter now...
Leo Johnson
Brandon Torres
just did this one. started out doing okay, and then started having trouble once i had to actually place it in the hole
Liam Rogers
this one gave me trouble. glad i did it, but can't help but feel ashamed of how clunky it is.
Dominic Young
no one into this right now?
Jordan Lopez
I would contribute some gifs, but I deleted them a long time ago and would have to reinstall the game to get my solutions out.
Ayden Mitchell
I'd post some of my own but I barely started the
game. Got nothing all that flashy to showcase.
You can have this silly gold machine, I guess.
Nicholas Myers
seeing that reminds me i've got to do the gold level with glyphs of purifaction. goddamn, i am not stoked for that actually yes i am
Grayson Campbell
This. I went balls deep into minimum cycles and it ate 2 weeks of my time. But since I pirated it I wouldn't even have a way to get my solutions. This is all I have left aside from the memories.
Connor Hill
I remember this one being the first one I was actually kinda proud of
Henry Foster
oo that's pretty nice. i guess i don't have the brain for it ;_;
Joseph Ortiz
When you get a solution that's under the top percentile, then you can be proud.
Caleb Gonzalez
just tried tightening this one up a bit. still shite, but meh
Juan Barnes
>not artisinally crafting all your products
John Hill
about as tight as i can make it without starting from scratch i think
i think this could still go a lot faster if you use a six arm windmill, no?
Elijah Phillips
It's basic, but I like it.
Connor Campbell
I said ARTISINAL. These elements were hand-raised and lovingly assembled only under the experienced grabber of an arm with decades of knowledge.
Elijah Cook
that's pretty aesthetic. min was nowhere near as nice.
Elijah Wilson
Anyone played molek-syntez?
Asher Price
I played it by beating everything with minimum cost
never finished because the command lines got absurdly long and I didn't want to abandon the goal
Daniel Adams
i'm a clunky dumbass when i play this game
but it gives me a sense of accomplishment when i do finish one no matter what
Oliver Brooks
one day i'll go fast at this i bet
Isaiah Foster
reminder to always first saturate your input when going for cycles
Nathaniel Reyes
mine
Isaiah Bennett
This~
Liam Foster
Wow
Liam Bailey
And this.
Didn't save the rest of them.

Opus Magnum thread?
It's been ages since i last played but still have a folder for some of my favourite.
As you can tell I pretty much exclusively went for cycles.
Asher Wood
Ryan Morales
Wyatt Butler
Ryder Miller
you can cut out 1-2 cycles by not dropping the metal
Jonathan Lewis
I always thought I could make this faster but I couldn't figure out how.
Ryder Hill
This is some factorio level shit
Levi Barnes
>unsaturated inputs
weak
Carter Hill
Again, not sure how to make it faster.
What does saturated inputs mean? Can you show an example?
Lucas Lewis
I'll post the ones I tried with a Low Cycle Run
Elijah Morris
Probably my personal favourite.
Aaron Taylor
Ryan Nguyen
With this being my sacond favourite.
Levi Howard
Kevin Ortiz
Grayson Davis
I had got reasonably far in this game, but I lost my progress somehow that I can't remember. I tried going back and redoing everything, but I quickly lost interest. This is the only solution I have that is really worth posting.
Logan Young
Could definitely have gotten fewer cycles but I really liked the elegance of it.
Tyler King
>What does saturated inputs mean?
It means drawing out as many elements per cycle as possible. only exception is if you've got an imbalance in input and output, eg 1 earth&air input, 2 earth & 1 air output. in such cases you balance against the element with the highest requirement, meaning that you don't have to draw the other as often.
what this means is that you first want to draw out elements every 2 cycles and then figure out what to do with them. Once you have a shitty model that works, you can start optimizing it.
That's how you get true minimum cycles most of the time. there are some evil ones where you need to get real creative from the start to shave off that one final cycle
