I tried really hard to like these levels, but I can't. There is too much reliance on the recorder, which is by far the worst mechanic in the game, in my opinion. Difficulty is nice and all, but sitting around for minutes whenever you want to try something, only to be met with "hold X to reset" and have to do everything over again, is incredibly tedious and frustrating. There was some good and clever ideas in the 18 or so levels I played, but there desperately needs to be more of a balance between difficultly and enjoyment.

what is the point when finishing each level?

@dadel That puzzle is broken, but you can use the jammer to jam the moon. I'm sorry

The Moonlet level was very annoying. I was unable to make the mine drop inside. Only managed it by using a box smuggled from elsewhere. If the timing has to be split second precise, then it is designed very poorly

@ProLogic Mind. It is. The "Portability" level has been moved to level pack 2.

Is this old version https://youtu.be/Uc6fg-pYDL8 ?

@swissorion There is no contradiction here. The fact is we take a cube on right side of barrier and during connector falls untill rays intersect we have time about 0,5 second for crossing the border of barrier to other side with a cube in hands

[*] Schrodinger's Cat [New] works on the new version of The Talos Principle

Just completed "Milkey Way Lovers", never expected that: a cube can be taken from the other side of an open barrier , this does not correspond to orinal TTP mechanics

Level 1 "break jamming" is broken for me:

Obvious solution - jam the turret from moving mine and then let it back through gate so turret un jams, does not work. box drops from top of the mine always second/third time the mine hits the energyfield.

@自鸣琴 that's not the real solution. without throwing a cube in the midair

Wonderful! I like very much new fixed versions of your puzzles. And the new ones are hard and interesting. But the last puzzle was slightly harder in original version as i remember. It now has a fairly simple solution compared to others in section 3: https://youtu.be/ibTC4l2lvmI
Benzolamps  [author] 27 Sep, 2020 @ 9:03am 
Content updated.
Level 1: fix the turret issue, you can no long skip it
Level 18: re-designed level, restore the original end level

i can't unlock the gate with the key in "break jamming" :steamsad:
HolyMoly 4 Sep, 2020 @ 2:27am 
Fantastic puzzles, a lot of variety and good use of the mechanics.

In poppy in tears I just did a long jump on a wall and skipped over to the end. I don't know if that's the intended solution ^^

A great challenge!

I completed the video walk-through series for Schrodinger's Cat Level Pack. This video shows how to solve all of the puzzles in this level pack. Enjoy!

Okay, just finished the last puzzle I had left. I wish more workshop maps did this same thing with a simple level select and timekeeping (but don't shy away from messenger, medieval, and tower settings; they're great). Suspend, Teeterboard, and Draw Back are incredible (I also like how the former star solution is incorporated into Draw Back here as the true end of the puzzle), and among the new puzzles, I really like Twilight.

I still dislike the key mechanic in Poppy in Tears (if it were up to me, I would have replaced it with Split Personality). And Domino is a very different puzzle here than the more challenging puzzle in the original, to the point where it maybe should have received a new name, but I still enjoyed solving it.
eyedunno11 12 Jul, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
@kbogue01 I wondered if that might be the case, especially since the gates that go down at the end also seem to serve little purpose without some additional secret, since there are ladders.
kbogue01 12 Jul, 2020 @ 12:29pm 
eyedunno11 - I also found no use for the pressure plate. But many of these puzzles were set up with intent of a secondary (star) objective to follow so perhaps this is a vestige meant for the use of this puzzle in a larger map/world context
eyedunno11 12 Jul, 2020 @ 11:06am 
Sure. You have to get the box over to the area where the recorder is so you can use it to hop the fence with a jammer so you can then work your way backward through the maze to get your box back inside along with the jammer.
eyedunno11 12 Jul, 2020 @ 2:51am 
@barrymead Sort of a cheese solution to Break Jamming, but I guess you wanted to show that such a thing could be done instead of jamming the turret from a box on top of the mine, then using the other jammer on the other side of the ladder to jam the energy barrier to put the mine back on the other side and make it stop jamming the turret ...

Also, I was hoping to see Portability, which I just solved tonight, and I felt my own solution was too easy and obvious, and I saw no point whatsoever to the pressure plate that opens the energy barrier , so I wondered if there was maybe a bigger-brain solution I was missing altogether. But maybe in your next video...

Regarding Mitosis:
if the recorded jammer is not returned to jam the fan at the END of the session, the real box gets launched when the transition from recording to replay starts. Not sure if it is a puzzle recorder specific settngs glitch or a general Talos glitch. the Real jammer never leaves the real fan

While the original looks pretty awesome, the level pack was certainly a challenge!
lfrohling 17 Jun, 2020 @ 3:10am 
I love these maps :) Unfortunately I'm stuck on "Dominos" with only a box and jacker free and a jacker behind a "blue technological stopper wall" and can't think my way out of it... I just feel there should be a second box somewhere to help (or another jacker or something)...,
kbogue01 13 Jun, 2020 @ 7:10am 
I actually thought it was the correct solution since it uses all the elements and still has a decent twist to make it a challenge
I am still trying to decipher the intended solution.
Benzolamps  [author] 13 Jun, 2020 @ 4:39am 
@kbogue01 Thanks! Your solution is pretty cool! Alternative solution!
kbogue01 12 Jun, 2020 @ 10:01am 
Not video savvy.
Connect red on the platform and link to red receiver. Jam the 2nd wall. Set up the other connector for blue connector for 2nd wall. Go back and put the 1st connector behind the jammer and connect blue to open blue wall. Use jammer to open 1st barrier.
Go back and connect 2nd connector to red emitter, in addition to the blue connections. Put connector back and re-open blue second wall.
Set 1st connector on platform, connected to red and blue emitter plus the 1st wall red connector. The second connector pulls a red beam that cuts the blue line allowing the red connector to be lit. Go back and re-set the 2nd connector on just red, the red beam cuts the blue and the red door opens again.
From there, jam the door by the platform to open the end red gate and haul the blue connector to open the end blue gate.

@kbogue01 Thanks! Post a video! Please!!!
kbogue01 11 Jun, 2020 @ 4:51pm 
Benzolamps - Traffic is solvable without using the jammer to block the laser.
DarK_SaCoR 10 Jun, 2020 @ 11:05am 
@Benzolamps Thanks for the hint :steamhappy:
Benzolamps  [author] 10 Jun, 2020 @ 7:48am 
@Dark_SaCoR The jammer can block the laser...:lunar2019coolpig:
DarK_SaCoR 9 Jun, 2020 @ 12:47pm 
@Benzolamps, I can't beat "Traffic", It is a new level? I can't find any walkthrough. Thanks in advance.
Benzolamps  [author] 3 Jun, 2020 @ 4:22am 
@urMom Thank you! That's finished.:lunar2019smilingpig:

@Benzolamps indeed they have.. but 17 is also missing the model. Keep improving it! :)
Benzolamps  [author] 1 Jun, 2020 @ 6:24am 
@urMom thanks that have been fixed.

Same on Level 12.

thanks, once finished other campaigns needing legacy version, will switch back to newest TP version.
Benzolamps  [author] 29 May, 2020 @ 2:30am 
@swissorion It only works on the latest version
Swissorion 28 May, 2020 @ 1:09pm 
Dear Benzolamps: Thanks for this addition. I'm currently playing Schrödingers Cat running legacy pre2017. puzzles and level design is just outstanding. Seeing your additional level pack, quickly subscribed to look into it. However, it appears not to work as its not showing up in the list. I get message that updating was not correctly possibly. Is the level pack by chance only working with most current Talos version or are any other modules required ? Please advise. thank you
