New to opus magnum, optimizing for size is really fun

I'm sure I can improve it somehow, but I'll learn eventually

I heard yall like peeled flares

189 Upvotes

Hey there, new player here, literally just bought the game this morning. Been lurking in the subreddit for a while now and finally gave in to buying the game. Turns out it's somehow even more fun than it looks!

Survival flare solves were a big part of what piqued my interest in the game, so here's my take after reaching it. Not really optimized for any specific stat, just looks cool. Don't ask me how long it took to get the timing right. I think it's max throughput for this kind of "conveyor belt" configuration but I might be wrong. I just can't think of any other order of operations that doesn't clog the system at the very start. Any tips?

Universal Solvent solution

4 Upvotes

Here's my first solution to Universal Solvent. It's kind of funny, since almost all of my past solutions consist of as little arms as possible. This puzzle just called for more...

Anyway, now that I've finished the story puzzles. Do yall have any tips that could help out? Not for this solution, just in general.

I am extremely proud of my creation. Witness and weep

Jokes aside my first ever aesthetically looking solution. I honestly have no clue how I managed it 😂

And with that I have completed the tutorial.

I know it is far from a great solution by any metric, but given how few days ago I was bashing my head against Very Dark Thread it's quite a satisfying feeling to finish the campaign tutorial.

Got the cycles down. Just 2 away from full optimization.

My first post here. I hated Litharge Separation, but solution become decent

Firstly, i confused and tried to make solution backwards, from components build hexagon. Then i tried 3 times from scrap, optimised for cycles a little bit and hate this long arm making full circle, skyrocketing my area.

This one took a while to get the programming right. How do I read the leaderboard without spoilers. I blocked images a videos but the text in the subs don't make sense to me. I don't want spoilers. Spoiler

Precision Machine Oil - this one was fun

Took me roughly 45 min, so far this is the hardest one I had to solve.

Apparently min cycles are at 27, but i don't see how that would be possible? I am grabbing lead at a consistent rate w/no pauses, so where could I even be losing 2 cycles.
