90/71/30. Nice, really two arms.

Nice and unique. Managed to make a 95/56/38

115/61/73 Love this puzzle! :steamhappy:

Addendum: One of my friends pointed out I didn't need the top rotor at all. The result looks a lot nicer, is actually more symmetric, but unfortunately is a significant amount slower. See for yourself: https://imgur.com/a/5HL3l1a

May not be as good as some of the ones you lot have put out, but I rather like this solution. Has an elegance, in a way. Yes, I always overuse the decorative glyphs XD https://imgur.com/a/xhLTdbc

Nice challenge, and I think this one I made is pretty good: https://imgur.com/Nk5PbDU

Damn, I've been beaten again :torielsad: Anyway, nice 👍
CAESURA 15 Nov, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Nice! I managed to get it to 29 cycles, but I'm trying to work out the annoying pause at the end

20 area seems to be tricky. I couldn't do it in the end... :steamsad:
I got 31 cycles solution though. Not too elegant, but it works :steamhappy:

CAESURA 14 Nov, 2018 @ 9:02pm 
hell yeah, I think 20 is probably the bare minimum since you need room for at least two arms and the unbonding glyph
kyojin_desu 14 Nov, 2018 @ 8:28pm 
Nice! Once I did 21 area yesterday, I thought it's impossible to go lower than that.
I'm gonna try to do it myself. I already have some idea how to do it, looking at my solution now.

Finally 20A! 100/77/20. https://imgur.com/Z00KZCi
CAESURA 14 Nov, 2018 @ 1:30pm 
ye, that other piston arm can be replaced with a stationary one i think
kyojin_desu 14 Nov, 2018 @ 1:20pm 
And I've just realized it could be cheaper...
kyojin_desu 14 Nov, 2018 @ 1:11pm 
Here's my version of 21 area (105/119/21)

彼君不触 14 Nov, 2018 @ 11:39am 
oh my god. 21Area!
CAESURA 14 Nov, 2018 @ 1:00am 
21 area (145/130/21)
https://imgur.com/fRI8EAm

Overall score of 65/35/21
CAESURA 14 Nov, 2018 @ 12:24am 
solution for 65g, probably could be better for cycles and area tho (65/97/33)

CAESURA 14 Nov, 2018 @ 12:06am 
heres my messy solution for 35 cycles (390/35/87)

Got a pretty decent size (24) https://imgur.com/a/4WDl7of?
Tempestas Ludi 3 Oct, 2018 @ 4:48am 
@Violet I adapted your solution and made one that is 10g cheaper: https://imgur.com/a/9j5Lyhg
Mijago 23 Apr, 2018 @ 6:11am 
@Tate you can easily manage to get 70/71/33 by simly rotating your GoU and remanaging your tracks
xodarap777 27 Mar, 2018 @ 3:40pm 
MorningMist got 65/35/22?? Why don't people post their gifs? :(

150-95-74, best I can get https://imgur.com/a/hFjcR
AgentPaper 10 Dec, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
Fun little puzzle. Pretty sure this is the minimum cost: 65/71/28 https://imgur.com/a/TT5br
Freaky 8 Dec, 2017 @ 3:26am 
@Gigaclon
Pretty sure it's impossible since arms longer than 1 tile carrying atoms cross 2 tiles in rotation
redwolv.exe 4 Dec, 2017 @ 10:12pm 
@The Opponent
Here is a simple solution(70/81/26) to show you how it works. Imgur [imgur.com]
地御保燃斗 4 Dec, 2017 @ 5:16pm 
I can't even figure out how to do that and get the silver atom I removed to pull the gold away reconnected to the rest.
kyojin_desu 4 Dec, 2017 @ 1:26pm 
@The Opponent
It's simple. They're not getting it out. You need to move both the gold and the silver circle together.
地御保燃斗 4 Dec, 2017 @ 12:32pm 
I'm stumped. How is everyone getting the gold out of the circle of silver without causing collisions?
Kryton 3 Dec, 2017 @ 12:59pm 
100 / 77 / 32, I enjoyed this one
gigaclon 21 Nov, 2017 @ 7:39am 
is the final step possible with rotation? I have only been able to do it with linear motion
Aiden 15 Nov, 2017 @ 8:37pm 
Got down to 39, 3 shy from figuring out how Deliagwath got to 36
Aiden 15 Nov, 2017 @ 6:57pm 
Great puzzle! Had just as much fun watching it run as working on optimizing it.
(90/56/23) ~ I keep trying to make it better though.
Deliagwath 7 Nov, 2017 @ 4:41am 
Nice little exercise (70 / 36 / 31)
