That one here is my solution for the Time crystal :3 Happy to see some Opus Magnum players.
RagnartheCat
this is a great game
thedoe
I love this game but it's a mind fucker.
Acciopower
Damn that is a good one! I used to play this years ago. You are very good at visualizing the process. Efficiency here is next level! GG!
Snooj
I'm guessing you fail if you make a link where there shouldn't be one, right?
PhailRaptor
Correct. What you make needs to match the target panel or it won't go.
NoLongerBreadNotQuiteToast
Tried this game once. Once.
StripedHunter
That is a sweet solution. We'll done and fantastic OC. Thank you.
battlepants
Looked up opus magnum and of course made by Zachtronics. Yea, this is going on my wishlist, his games are hard but extremely well made.
db22
Well, you hit the cost and area targets for the puzzle, that's for sure.
longleggedbeastie
For reference: OP fucked around to build this satisfying thing with min cost, but there're other options

Acciopower
This looks like the one I made.
Azathought
Here's mine, a bit of a middle ground between yours and OP's
swagb98623
- Cost: 130g, Cycles: 335, Area: 82.
AnimaMemeAnimal
The solution I posted was my first attempt solution lmao
genida
That is brilliant stuff. Mine was nowhere near as smooth :)
SupermassiveZebra
Ooh I like that approach! Very satisfying. Love how many ways there are to solve these, here was mine:
drenix
Dang son, dis one's mine
v
SupermassiveZebra
The weird looking bits up left and the little spin before it tosses it in haha, awesome!
longleggedbeastie
The game lets you export gifs, you can just google the name of a level and watch this factory porn to your heart's content :)
delicatepeasant
victell
is this a sequel to Tetris
Cackfog
Great game, although spacechem was better
AnimaMemeAnimal
Hadn't heard of that one, looks pretty cool I'll have to give it a go after I finish this one, thanks
Cackfog
Definitely worth a look!
Jackeea
All of Zachtronics' stuff (except Eliza and MF83) are absolutely amazing brain-crunchingly difficult games. Definitely worth checking out!
MysticalPidgeon
My vote goes to infinifactory, just love the asthetic and pseudo minecraft building
Eikre
I think you'll find that it's actually Minecraft that has the psuedo-Infini building :)
MysticalPidgeon
Touche
maybeamonster
zachtronics is fucking awesome
yuugian
Zachtronics made the game Infiniminer. Prototype/inspiration for Minecraft
lordfwahfnah
Slamtastik
Highly recommended for anyone that wants to get into programming/engineering.
Stoffel3000
Yeah, also check out human resource machine.
AnimaMemeAnimal
Who dat?
Higure
One of the few puzzle game creators who makes games where you truly discover A solution, rather than finding THE solution.
thoushaltnotpass
That looks a lot like zachtronics spacechem
Azathought
Because it's Zachtronics' Opus Magnum. :)
thoushaltnotpass
Yes noticed that after checking the steam link :)
SupremeCookie
That reset was delicious
Skizmo
that's weird... biggest part of the game isn't visible.
AnimaMemeAnimal
The command chain? Yeah, this is the gif that it lets you record when you finish, I ain't savvy enough to record a gif live
StoneSevenleaf
Super gg

I didn't even know this game existed. Is it free? Web based? Steam?

I watched the trailer and still have no idea what this game is. Hahahah!
Lilly64
It is a game about constructing an alchemical factory of sort to create a desired output using a custom solution you yourself come up with.

From the same author, free, requires Flash: http://www.zachtronics.com/the-codex-of-alchemical-engineering/

LawmanLata
Im failing to understand the properties of the two separate orbs.
ssbmbeliever
iirc the middle one is a gold and the others are all salts?
ssbmbeliever
The way the game works is you put together "molecules" to build the final product. Such as two hydrogen and an oxygen to build a water.
LawmanLata
Ah, I see the indicator on in the mold now.
PhailRaptor
The gold one is, well, Gold. The white one is Salt. The game is alchemy themed.
genida
I started playing because of this, and just got past this level. Your solution is amazing. Took me a small factory :)

Opus magnum my man
magicrhombus
Reminds me of spacechem, which I liked a lot.
Zecc
Both Spacechem and Opus Magnum as from Zachtronics, in case you didn't know.
Zecc
*are from
Jordinatinglybeautiful
That’s cool. Isn’t it Magnum Opus, though? Nbd
ssbmbeliever
I think the issue you run into is that the game is called Opus Magnum, so that's the assumed way to say it in this case.
blumpk1npie
Opus magnum is correct in Latin (noun+ adj), but in English we use adj+ noun. I'd say it's stolen as a phrase so opus magnum is right
Eikre
You can switch word order around in latin, it they did all the time fucking.
db22
That's what happens when the language has a massive hardon for morphology and word order doesn't matter. Whee!
HaniiPuppy
English *does* sometimes use noun adjective, but it's usually considered flowery. Sometimes both at the same time. e.g. ...
HaniiPuppy
"It was a long journey harrowing."
Illithidbane
Mine for this puzzle.

SupermassiveZebra
Loved this game! One of my personal favourite solutions that I built was this one, just based on appearance:
StripedHunter
That is beautiful. I loved this game
AnimaMemeAnimal
Ah the lead into gold one, that looks dope man
CoffeeIV
Wow, these Rorschach tests are getting really complicated.
Illithidbane
Beat the heck out of mine.
v
lronMaiden
Uuuh, now it starts to actually look complicated.
minegishi95
It's one of the most approachable Zachtronics games because you can place everything yourself. This is just a tightly made solution.
SupermassiveZebra
Optimised for speed, not simplicity :P
garuffthehorse
I am not smart enough for this game. I tried, I failed.
ITookUrUsername
To me it felt more like patience and persistence were the key elements. Super satisfying when you beat a level you thought was impossible.
clandevort
I made the mistake of taking a break. Came back about 6 months later, have no idea how to play any more
AnimaMemeAnimal
Yep dude same, what ya wanna do is open the game, go documents, my games, opus magnum, and delete that number folder while the games running
AnimaMemeAnimal
That'll reset the game for ya, it's what I did so I could relearn the basics
LongoloidFartExplosion
You'd think that would just be a setting.
AnimaMemeAnimal
You would, but sadly not
Adderkleet
SpaceChem looks like an easier version if you wanna give that a try. But yeah, this looks... too complicated for me.
ITookUrUsername
It is admittingly one of the last levels of the main game and you can place more than one piston. Spacechem felt harder to me tbh.
Jackeea
Spacechem? Easier? I was stuck on the pseudoethyne level for FOUR YEARS before I finally sat down and kludged a solution that barely works!
LongoloidFartExplosion
I didn't finish Space Quest for years because I didn't know the box was referred to as a crate!
Ralvuimego
Zachtronics games do a pretty good job easing you into the hard stuff. Don't be intimidated, this is a late game puzzle.
Lilly64
Spacechem is much much much harder. Don't let its more simple UI fool you, the later levels get absurdly difficult
MachineInterface
As someone who actually finished SpaceChem, including the challenges, I can tell you Opus Magnum is much easier; the key difference is>
MachineInterface
that Opus Magnum has no branching or conditional programming, it's just a "dumb" automata following a linear set of instructions. SpaceChem>
MachineInterface
levels, on the other hand, can have multiple branching circuits with subroutines. The advanced levels can be truly nightmarish.
ElioAuditore
Damn, I should give space chem another try. I remember getting annoyed because I couldn’t figure something out right away.
AnimaMemeAnimal
Same, played it like 2 years ago, failed at start of act three, came back to it 2 days ago and powering thru it. Like to think I got smarter
AnimaMemeAnimal
Really though I just got sober lol
artdramallama
What a fantastic follow up, I'm glad I tapped on the responses though I dont know why I did. Lmao.
AnimaMemeAnimal
?
imgurj17
Which games is this? Is it available on iPhone?
AnimaMemeAnimal
It's called opus magnum, i play it on computer through steam, not sure if it can be played on a phone sorry mate
imgurj17
Cool thanks I will have a look on steam, looks interesting
ArcaneDryad
What are we watching, what was the task?
Gorgrim
Opus Magnum is a game about building "construction factories", by using the arms, input nodes, modifier nodes, to make a specific output. >
Gorgrim
You have the basic building blocks and a blank canvas, and need to write the instruction set to make it all work. This is a "minimal item" >
Gorgrim
solution, only using one input for each type, 1 arm, and 1 welder to do all the work. You could add more arms to speed up the process,
UrsaPsi
It appears you control the piston arm to create a shape that will fit into the impression. Spatial reasoning game, seems.
sunyudai
It's a bit more than that - it's as factory design, but this guy did a minimalist solution. Here's something more typical:

- stolen from downthread.

The one I intended to copy:
AnimaMemeAnimal
Basically build that thing, there's a story that goes along with the game but don't wanna spoil it
IOnceOwnedMoonMoonButOnceHeTriedToLickMyBallsAndRanAwayIMissHim
I won't ever play this game, can I have the spoiler please?
TheStreetForce
Is this one of the puzzles in the game or one you made up? (Im still toward the beginning.)
AnimaMemeAnimal
Yeah act 5 second task
Jackeea
This is one of the lategame puzzles I believe
