As far as I know the way is described is the only way 

You have to bring the left sticky block from b16 for that

Yes, but not able to solve the rest of puzzle

Yes, you only need 3 blocks for the actual bridge.  Most of the other blocks are needed to access  the bridge once you have it.  Solving this requires  a technique not used before.

You should be reaching that button by making a path underneath the black barrier, not by crossing over the top of it.

Cool concept here.  Everything made sense up to 15. Any tips on how to go about this one?

Correct about the right block to the left of the button.  The way you are describing makes not much sense.  In order to stack a block  on top of  another that is directional, you need something to hold it in place. The first stack should be above that block (leaning against the  pillar) and the other stack should be  to the left of the first stack .  

Ok. Feel free to rephrase your question if you still need help.

AB 6 : The blocks need to be stacked on the left of the pillar and move right.

Don’t stack block until after you move the desired block to the right one space. Using down block above pillar you can make a bridge that allows you to get to the block and have one empty space to push the TWO blocks right. THEN go back and stack blocks on the spring to move them out.

Wondering if the challenges are meant to make sense without having tunnels available.  Without the tunnels,some pieces that are mined and cut become inaccessible perhaps requiring extra hubs to receive unused pieces.  As a result getting needed pieces then requires building long roundabout conveyors and then uses up the limited building parts available. Seems like a good game, it’s just not making complete sense.

That being said what is good way. The first challenge requires a piece made of 3 pieces @6/ per sec. how to go about achieving that without being able to cross over conveyors?

say you are using only  3 miners, one for each of the basic shapes, and the objective is to create a shape that requires a piece from each basic shape... is it possible to use onlyone hub and have more than 2 completed pieces going into that?

All you need are the five blocks in that room. After you  stack blocks on the riser to get the first block out try moving the right block up to the platform. You should be able to figure it out from there.

Yes, you can get the block on the far left out

Figuring out how to use that bomb was a stumper.  Thank you again for the great game.

You need the extra block from A15

You don’t need to. You need that bomb at the end to release the button down below 

Puzzled by this. I’m not able to solve the updated A5.  You said the solution would have to do with exploring the interaction of A B mechanics   Aren’t all of the B mechanics having to do with using sticky blocks?  What am I missing?

Thanks for the great puzzle, Steven, as well as all of the help.

I’m wondering if you actually think anybody would be capable of solving this puzzle without help.

Not sure what you meant when you said you can create the square block and the first  diagonal at the same time.  Literally, the same time?

Just to be clear, my setup sends the block headed to the upper left button directly. The path to the lower button is one space longer  so there is a stacked block to account for the timing.  This path hits the button from the right side (also can be changed to hit from above which has the effect of  2 blocks being pushed downward when the piston fires.) Either way what I’m left  with after making the square are the two down blocks and one right block on the platform.  The left block that I pushed onto the diagonal to put the other 2 blocks is motion is now resting on the right extension of the middle pusher. The pistons of the middle and right pushers are fired.  Can’t go off of the platform to rearrange anything without being stuck on the ground level.  What is left other than to somehow (still inconceivable to me) push blocks down the lower path and trigger the unused piston?

Steven, after having made the square block I lose the bomb in order to regain the othe square glue block that was used to access the elevator, I can no longer move the diagonal block and one of the right blocks is inaccessible on top of the button in the far right corner. Am I still able to progress with these restrictions?

If  there’s anything further you are willing to say or correct my thinking in regards to making the square block, feel free:

The first  block, the block that will hit the upper left button cannot be pushed directly to the button. It has to travel left, one space above the button, and then loop back  (requires a down block) in order to synchronize with the object that will hit the lower button.  In order to affect the split motion of the 2 blocks, the first block needs to be on another blockdirectly left of the diagonal block. It isn’t possible to get that first block in place without pushing one of the down blocks off of the platform in order to transfer it. Atleast one more down blocks are necessary for block #2 to reach the bottom button. Down ward blocks are necessary to create down right blocks.  Two down right blocks are needed to reach the exit and need to be transferred to it ( the exit) by way of being stacked on other blocks.  It’s not possible to elevate any blocks in the level after the risers have been used once.

Obviously these can’t all be true and my common sense tells me there must be a way to keep two downward blocks up on the platform while making the square block I’m just spelling out the thought process.  Tough puzzle.  I believe the only two other I know that started it both already gave up.   

Completely agree.  The excellent puzzles and the artistry of the overall combination of everything into one piece was awesome and very enjoyable to play. Deserves a sequel.

When you say that the diagonals will still be made on the upper level do you mean they will also be made by standing on the platform or that they will be made  by using blocks that are stacked(as I did for the earlier solution)? 

Regarding the making of the square block, the only thing I’ve come up with is that one of the blocks needed to push a button has to be in place (presumably stacked on a square block)immediately to the left of the diagonal so that when either the player or a block is pushed  onto the diagonal block, the stacked block to the left is  sent left and either the player or the block pushed is sent downward.  This seems doable aside from it seeming not possible to have that stacked block in place and be on the platform.  If you use the risers on the right to elevate yourself then you lose a useful block with that method 

Excellent. I hope this to be my last ask for assistance here.  So this is all possible without using all of the downward blocks? My earlier solution relied on having those stacked to do the rest of the combining.

Ok, so from the ground level it’s much easier to slide a row of blocks in order to put multiple blocks in motion on different paths.  From the upper level it’s seems you would have to actually push the blocks that would trigger the buttons.  So if I’m thinking about this the correct way , that is where I’m stuck. How can you push blocks in any particular direction and manage to get them moving on different paths and or different directions?

Was wondering about the conveyor that comes into the lab from the left side.  I’m assuming I completed everything in the game yet never was able to access that pathway. Was that just  placed there as a no access area to be a possible red herring for the task of blowing up the sign? 

Can developer please help us out alittle with S5.?? Please.  In partner with another person we’ve spent countless hours here with this. 

A brief explanation of what we did was to access the upper platform via the small upper right platform, moved blocks down from the platform in such a way to to store them on other blocks in order to create 2 down right blocks to transfer over to the right side and cross that gap.  Used the bomb to deactivate the switch after using the bridge.  Arrived at the point of just needing to create an square sticky block t(in addition to the one we have) in order to transfer to the right side.  Stuck at lack of ability to create what we believe is necessary to combine the last block, which woukd be some sort of mechanism using all the 3 of the pushers .please can you let us know how we are doing and if we need to change course from this set of ideas??

Think about where you have the ladder placed when you push the other block on top of it.

with a bomb.  You need another block as a spacer to avoid blowing yourself up

first step is to blow up the sign

When you have all of the buttons activated S5 becomes accessible 

can the puzzle God who created S5 shed some light  on this.   How in the world do you go about lifting the blocks necessary to transfer over to the right side?

you need to use the right block to get the left block out

Whats up with the switch below level one that can only be accessed by hopping off of the conveyor, yet there’s no place to stop or place a bomb  there?

On Level S2 I assume that broken power line is intentional?  If so is there some secret way to fix this or does the solution not involve having both pushing mechanisms operating?

Seems also the bomb can be used to blow up the one stationary tile in the middle of conveyor in order to go under the barrier to press button by a13 but u can’t get close enough to detonate it.  These are devious!

Great game and stellar puzzles! Now about the Final Experiment.. what is it that needs to be accomplished being there’s no exit to reach?

Yes, got it. Good one!
