World 1-6: Try the red beam.
You'll be surprised.

Find fragments of a statue and put them together there.

I finished everything up. This was a great set of puzzles, some of the best ones I've played in this game. The jetpack was a nice touch at the end, too, haha. What is the empty cement slab for on the side opposite of where the jetpack and end point is located? I get a prompt to "use" next to it, but nothing happens.
SupremeCommanderThor 10 Nov, 2024 @ 12:15am 
I figured it out, for some reason it wasn't letting me jump to certain ledges, but it seemed to work normally the next time I played.

@CTACSH1618:
Nothing is impossible. You can even go over plasma doors.
SupremeCommanderThor 9 Nov, 2024 @ 9:18pm 
Half of these puzzles seem to be physically impossible. 2-2 being the first example.

I'm glad you like it.:cozybethesda:

this is awesome! had so much fun. it is hard

The walkthrough video shows an impossible step. At the 6:15 point (https://youtu.be/5_LaFmf0Ntg?si=qyitNpRmeQacgfp9&t=375) it shows a place you can jump to in 2-02 but, once the gate is open, that point doesn't exist anymore :( The level is impossible once the gate is opened :( It's a bug in the game where you cannot jump to the outcrop. It doesn't matter if the electrified gate is jammed open or closed (default) there is no space on the top of the electrified gate where you can stand that allows that jump to take place (and hence no way to get the sign nor the star) :( :(

Hello! I enjoyed this very much and will suggest it to others! However, I had an issue with saving the game. I had to do it all in one shot because every time I logged back on, it would not have saved about half or less of my progress. I am not sure if this was an issue with the game or if its on my end. Even if it showed the backups when I was in the main menu, if I quit the game entirely and opened it back up, my progress would be gone. Thought I should mention it! Thank you again for the amazing mod! (Also, it does not seem to be doing it with the other only puzzle mod, so far I am a quarter through 2 and have logged off and on again without lost progress over the course of today)

Okay - found it now - after looking at the fairly obvious statues. I assumed there would be crosses like previous ones !
Sea Fox 21 Jul, 2022 @ 11:07pm 
Seems a minor error with the stars - I have 19 and all are crossed out except one on the main board for Level 5 - but each of the entrances on Level 5 show all stars crossed out - Not sure where to look ... Have I missed something ?
Great build BTW - thanks ma.hirsch

This was the first workshop mod I played, and I just replayed it. There are some pretty good puzzles here and I like the clinical "parking garage" underground area. And overall, I liked it more than I did on my first playthrough.

One thing that bothered me at the time and I still find problematic is that it's called Only Puzzles, so naturally I figured the emphasis would be on puzzles, and there would be no parkour, no taking items or lasers from one puzzle to use in another, and no fussy mechanics. In fact this has lots of all of the above. So I think this is a bad choice for a first dive into the workshop for players expecting to get, well, only puzzles and no nonsense--players should maybe choose Ranamo Puzzles 1 or the Schrodinger's Cat Level Pack (1&2!) instead (or maybe even Rebirth).

Ok so it turns out that switches reset when you exit the location they're in and i just didn't turn the switch from switch 1 back on.
Otherwise, thank you for making this!
I enjoyed this a LOT and I am definitely looking forward to spend another bunch of hours on playing the sequel!
alex1casas 18 Sep, 2021 @ 11:56am 
Hi!
The first gate in the switch 2 puzzle doesn't open, even though i powered it with the red laser.
is this a bug?
lir7 14 Sep, 2021 @ 12:33pm 
Oh fantastic. Loved the secret puzzle! :steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
Kebu Willberg 13 Sep, 2021 @ 12:13pm 
Is there some kind of bug in 3-03? Isn't it practically impossible with only 3 connectors?
Drogget 12 Aug, 2021 @ 7:33am 
Hey! I'm enjoying this map quite a lot, though I believe I found two exploits. Both pertaining to 1-7.

An alternative solution for the 1-7 star is to use a blue laser from 1-8 and putting a block on the button. I am not sure if it is intended, but you do not need to activate the red receiver if you have the blue activated and the button pressed.

An alternative solution for the 1-7 puzzle piece, which might not be intended, is that you can simply jump over the last gate by jumping from a block

I think I've figured out how to do 5-04 but i'm having issues. I think what i'm suppose to do is have a beam redirector bounce between all the fans while i run around the outside bit by bit. However I only get so far before the redirector randomly drops from the box and i'm trapped halfway through. I'm on low hardware so it could be an item loading issue. Love everything else though, awesome stuff.
AlexV 8 May, 2021 @ 11:55am 
Nice !!!:steamhappy:
inZka 6 Feb, 2021 @ 8:20am 
Thank you @ma.hirsch so far very enjoyable puzzles, just the kind I like with lasers =) (now l5 started). Only had to peek for solution twice so far on slightly stupid places...

on 3-03 I was stupidly trying to get that one connector to other side of door while connected to both sources one one each side - which of course did not work .
and in 4-3 to confirm that indeed a jump is needed there. would be nice if only jumps are those with space to jump sign...

and constantly dying in 3-1 is annoying =O
4-4 and 4-1/4-2 maybe most enjoyable ones so far.
inZka 5 Feb, 2021 @ 10:33am 
thanks. How could I miss that =)
Already walked on those electric walls on l2-3...
ma.hirsch  [author] 5 Feb, 2021 @ 10:18am 
@niin:
You don't have to jump over it.
Close the door and try to walk over it.
inZka 5 Feb, 2021 @ 9:56am 
Is this a bug in my system as i am stuck in l2-1 (green) getting frustrated not to be able to jump over there. this feels it should not be hard that way
ma.hirsch  [author] 26 Jan, 2021 @ 1:46am 
I can't understand your point of view because we do
already own everything.
And here in the community everything is shared.
StarK 25 Jan, 2021 @ 3:03pm 
LMAO get a load of this guy
zedaz 25 Jan, 2021 @ 8:07am 
I think its shocking because thats basicly stealing of intellectual property. And you dont mention it anywhere that some maps are heavily inspired.

Ye i double checked. I meant the lvl 1-04 wich is similar to "double trouble" and 1-03a wich is the same "binary". But 1-03a is not modified at all except the 1-03b which doesnt really interfere with anything from 1-03a.
ma.hirsch  [author] 24 Jan, 2021 @ 9:24pm 
@zedaz:
Why shocking?
You probably meant level 1-04.
The Secret Puzzle is one of my favorites from RTG.
I have reproduced that here in a slightly modified version.
zedaz 24 Jan, 2021 @ 3:32pm 
It might be coincidence but your level 1-03a does have shoking similarity with one of the "secret" levels from the dlc road to gehenna. I also though this about the previous one but saw some differences. 1-03a however is mechanicly and structural almost identical.
Obelix 26 Dec, 2020 @ 1:14pm 
Thanks for the nudge on Level 5-04. I was able to solve it. Now stuck on Level 4-02. It is my last sigil and I can't proceed to next level. I assume the youtube video of jumping over the short iron fence no longer applies? Any hint would be appreciated.
ma.hirsch  [author] 20 Dec, 2020 @ 12:38am 
Jumping over a wall is in this puzzle
not possible anymore! You have to find another way.
Obelix 19 Dec, 2020 @ 7:09pm 
I'm on Level 5-04 at the beginning. From a walk-through I know I'm supposed to use the fan to jump over the wall to access the transmitter. While in the air I can't seem to control anything other than my direction of sight and this doesn't get me over the wall. What am I missing?
darkgreenblue 27 Nov, 2020 @ 7:06pm 
How to solve Level 1 puzzle 7 when the elevated box with connector does not appear? This is my 2nd time playing the game, but I cannot remember how to make it appear.
kbogue01 26 Jul, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
ma.hirsch: Break out of Level1-8 is still possible but is no longer simple and easy lie it was prior to the update. Requires some parkour to achieve.
ma.hirsch  [author] 19 Jul, 2020 @ 12:01pm 
Big update:
All Worlds: Visibility sectors have been added.
Level1-05: A few fences added so that you can no longer
can break out.
Level1-08: You can no longer break out there.
If the cube does not land exactly on the plate in the shaft,
you can go down and put it right on top. This saves the "X" key.
A ladder has been added.
A few minor repairs.
Tidied up the folder a little. Unnecessary files deleted.
StarK 5 Jul, 2020 @ 3:48pm 
loving the map so far these are harder than the vanilla campaign.
i think i found some bugs You can jump out of the right red tetromino puzzle, i was trying to collect the star and went out to check the lone building. Im not sure if it was intentional, also you can get in with the time clone and collect some white pieces this way.
eyedunno11 27 Jun, 2020 @ 1:21pm 
Why does this change Hexahedra into Companion Cubes in the moddable version? It's fine if it happens only within Only Puzzles, but it affects everything else I play in the moddable version too, and the moddable version is my way of replaying maps while keeping completed saves in the main version. Also, Only Puzzles 3 turned all the yellow sigils to an ugly burnt sienna color in the moddable version...
ma.hirsch  [author] 11 Jun, 2020 @ 9:42pm 
It is just an illusion.
Just a food for thought to try something different.
sonderkraftfahrzeug 11 Jun, 2020 @ 10:14am 
Ok, I solved it, but a really stupid question. Why...umm...not make the receiver match the color of the beam? I guess it is part of the puzzle to not use concepts learned in the base game?
ma.hirsch  [author] 11 Jun, 2020 @ 8:17am 
Yes, it is intended so.
What could you try if the blue laser doesn't work?
sonderkraftfahrzeug 10 Jun, 2020 @ 10:56pm 
On 1-6 there is a blue beam that is powering a blue receiver in a window. Only in my game, it is NOT powering it. It just draws the laser like it is being powered but the receiver doesn't light up. Screenshot is here --> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2126686474 Is this intended or is it a bug?
lfrohling 4 May, 2020 @ 5:11am 
Great!! I needed a walkthrough with four or so of the puzzles (mostly in the underground section) but still good

Excellent maps, perfect level of difficulty. Challenging but not impossible.
arnermd 29 Mar, 2020 @ 3:29am 
Yes Sir! Fixed! Had to unsubscribe and re-subscribe to get the update. Seems good now.
Thanks again for the maps, I have enjoyed playing them so far.
ma.hirsch  [author] 29 Mar, 2020 @ 12:53am 
@amermd:
OK, found it. Comes from the RTG DLC.
Uploaded a new update.
Sorry...
arnermd 28 Mar, 2020 @ 3:35pm 
I just unsubscribed from but Only Puzzles, new. Only option in the play menu is Only Puzzles. Same result. If you have any suggestions i would be happy to try and help diagnose.
arnermd 28 Mar, 2020 @ 3:25pm 
I can try uninstalling what I have, Fourth dimension, only puzzles new, only puzzles old, only puzzles 2 new.

How do you uninstall? Just unsubscribe?
ma.hirsch  [author] 28 Mar, 2020 @ 2:42pm 
Very strange. I just tested it.
Everything OK. Maybe another DLC is interfering?
