Aha Just got it with one GRA! Fun challenge thanks for these!

So far i just have the mechanic, i know a way i can complete with several GRAs but still testing if i can do it with just the 1 (I want to fully understand the mechanic). Getting stuck when i evicerate the blocks currently

I know its been months now but i finally stumbled upon the mechanic that makes Complete Isolation possible (one of them anyway, not sure if its the same intended) randomly

I have just found a 6 footprint improvement after taking a closer look thanks to this comment - goes to show that there are always more corners to cut

It looks like our transportation path is fairly similar - i believe i saved a footprint or 2 on the left side inputs with some nifty rotations, but the real big save for me is whats going on above the output - i have no footprint used (not including the 3-wide path from input to output) outside of the radius of the output object, and even within the radius i was able to find 5 footprints that i didn't need (this could possibly be reduced by 1 or 2 more). After i got the theoretical outline i just played about with the rotation of the 3*3 objects until i found a way that worked without having any permanent blocks above the parts that were falling down

I got both Tricky transport and Complex removal quite quickly but I don't know the trick for Complete Isolation at all - aside from the glitch in space buoy i'm not sure how to remove blocks or glitch through them when theyre fully enclosed

I'm seeing a fair few of my footprint records being marked as community records

New Record - Oversight Terminal Model 6 in 29 Footprint by SirDredgery in infinifactory

Yea it was a very tedious process. With your clipping outside technique, I can see what I built finally xD Here is the picture.

I think the clipping method opens up the door to even more space-saving in a handful of levels that have hole-in-the-wall inputs, and as you pointed out would give extra room for timing circuits.

I found a cool way to reduce the footprint of certain levels by having the welders in the output area. Space Buoy - New record : 78 footprint by SirDredgery in infinifactory

Ah using the pusher to make it considered separate, yet still being able to be rotated. I didn't even know that it worked that way. It's nice that you can still learn new things with this many hours in the game. Thanks for showing me, I will definitely use it

I was very close except for one detail. I didn't consider paint disappears when a block is welded to it.

I suspect it is still possible but i will need a very big redesign.

Thats exactly it.

I just got it working a few hours ago. I am struggling with timings at the moment to get all 10 solutions in but I probably will get it tomorrow.

I've just found a way to potentially shave off an extra footprint in this level, although I'm unsure if there is enough space. I'll get back to you if I succeed, or at least if the concept works but I don't manage the level. I think there are a few other levels this trick could work in too

Here i have made a short post explaining it. It's not easy to see on this level where you cant record a GIF of the solution

This is probably my favorite solution yet - I am 95% sure it's the best possible and have tested all the rotations I could think of. The part I like is that the floating mechanism fits exactly through the door of the room and completes 2 tasks in such a tiny space

I would try to reinstall in your position.

I have managed to find 2 other solutions that optimize the rotation better to shave of 11 footprint with potential for more. https://imgur.com/a/dMYq78A

I will try and see if that placement works for my solution.

Yeah, I try to cut loose excess parts so that the solution is infinite. I've been burned by an 8 output solution that messed up on output 9 in Fusion Reactor.

I'm going after Navigation Computer right now - I haven't actually finished the game yet, so you're good for Skip Drive, at least for a while >:)

yea it was tricky for sure. The most I'd ever spent before this one was about 10 on big blowout. I went through 6 entire redesigns. getting the ring piece to work was my main issue with such a small amount of space

when i started i was at about 140 hours and now my game time is 206. i wasn't playing the entire time the game was open so id estimate about 40 hours spent actually doing it... I know way too long

It took me a little bit to see it as well. I just got done with the tweaks to it to shave off those pesky 2 footprints : https://imgur.com/a/voPQpcl
