For Exclusive 3: zidoduc sypigif. I think this solution just might approach bidaril in complexity (bidaril is my solution to Son of Hockey Stick).

What it does is:
image
Finds out if the first value is the crate, by working out if b + c + d - 3a (where a,b,c,d are the values) = 6
If not, it rearranges the values and puts them back into the machine.
If it is, it floods the machine with 6's which causes the crate to fall onto the target matcher.


Also note I haven't tested it for all values of the random crate, so it might not work for some.

Edit: Just noticed that the imagedevice to rearrange the crates/barrels in the top left corner occasionally fails and only delivers 2 of the 4 crates. If it does then restart the solution. This is probably the worst part of the solution and something that rearranges the crates so that 1234 becomes 4123 would be much much better, but I don't know how to fit it into the small space. I think this one also fails often on F, 6 and 5.

Edit 2: Fixed many problems (sypigif)

Those physics detectors might make more impossible puzzles even more impossible.

New Puzzle:
Routing Problems rynidoh

And I really like Rene's solution for Exclusive 3. Never thought such a simple solution would be possible.

Unsolvable. Every time a new crate is input into the machine there will be no crate above the matcher for one tick.

Edit: ....or not? Some quirk of Rubicon physics allows this.

The level is fully possible. The packer trick is something I picked up at one of Rene's puzzles.

For Routing Problems (rynidoh): pufybec

You like to make them difficult, don't you  Wink

imageThe problem is not really routing the crates, but getting them to the output fast enough. There is exactly one tick too little to get them straight from input to output.

Nice work. As usual my solution is a lot messier than yours...
My solution: picadyz
imageI actually had the crates going a little too fast at the beginning.

I didn't intend for the level to be as tricky as it eventually became, my fixes destroyed some of the original design...

Mmmmm.... that was very hard indeed  Sad
imageThe basic mechanism to get information across the eye from both sides was fun to work out. But the timing was a real pain in the @*$

New Easier Puzzles:
Lift lihamav
Battlefield gybixah

As for Cyclops, I thought I had a working solution, but it appears it was flawed... So I won't post it unless I manage to fix it...

Edit:
A little harder puzzle:
Shift Worker zidevud

Nice work!

My solutions:

For Shift Worker (zidevud): dodibys

It seems that I forgot to save my Lift solution, but it was basically the same as yours.

New Puzzle:
Full Speed Delivery byruzir

Edit:
I have finally managed to solve what I think is the ultimate stream reproduction puzzle, so here it is:
Ultimate Reproduction Cycle nabudov
It is far from easy and I don't expect many people to solve it.

For Full Speed Delivery (byruzir): beruhys
Of course if I needed a few more ticks I could have always done this: foferuf

I should have known there was a way to mess up the timer... Thankfully, you didn't use it in your solution.
My solution: padatyl
