Thank you! This is amazing, I didn't imagine anyone would go that route voluntarily, especially not in a level that's already a bit tedious! Would it have been of help if the game had supported search-replace of workers, or maybe copy-paste using the system clipboard?
Your level/achievement suggestions are good, but I actually need to decide about area H first. I intend to dedicate it to reductions (without X), and such a Y1 can be very relevant there, but if I can't
make it fun, a similar achievement for any one of several X levels can
serve as a partial fallback (I'd rather not require it in only one specific level). Meanwhile, I think I'll just adjust the scoring of solutions without X so that they at least grant perfect scores.
As for community chat, I think it's too early but would converting this comment section to the discussion board that itch.io supports help, or is community chat needed due to functionality or some kind of interaction that can't be found or isn't encouraged in the forum format? It does seem to be a common request.
