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??

Just a heads up, S.5 will be getting an update that will hopefully reduce the possibility space a decent amount (I believe one of the fusions you've found will be blocked as well, but the solution shouldn't change much). My suggestion would be to focus on making the square sticky block first. As you've seen, you can only get on the upper platforms once (at least without using a bunch of pieces building a bridge) so try to get as much done as you can before dropping back down. I know this is still very vague, so feel free to reply with any further questions you have.

Making the square block does not require using all three switches, but all will be used eventually. The square block indeed needs to be made on the ground using the pistons/pushers, and if I understand your method correctly, you are already using the right two. There is a way to hit both switches while you are still on the upper platform, let me know if you'd like more details.

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?

Steven Miller2 years ago

The player can generally only send objects along a single path because you only move in one of the cardinal directions. Try using an object that doesn't have these restrictions.

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.

Steven Miller2 years ago

The diagonals are still going to be made on the upper level if that is what you are referring to, but if you were using additional downward blocks that might not work anymore.

peter1082 years ago

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
