Very good last move, which took me a moment. Big thumbs up!

Excellent logic map. Since the elements sort of interlock, it is easy to lose track of what does what. I went back and re-examined the criteria for all the elements and found what I was looking for.

Fun map, The last move was pretty cool.

Well, it didn't take me as long as last time, but a nights sleep was still required!

I've just read that someone, over 2 years ago, said this puzzle is: "well worth coming back to again and again, until you finally crack it" and it took them "4 MONTHS". They also said they worked out how they "could jump down to exit." I'm glad I've played loads of puzzles, learnt a lot and have a really good memory - oops!

Well I almost got it. Like most everybody else I got me and the cube or me and the laser to the exit chamber. After a long time over a couple days, I watched BehindPortal's walkthrough. Sweet move. This has been a lot of mind wrecking fun. You keep building and I'll go practice some more. Thank you for all the work.

I intend to EVENTUALLY go back and figure out a final layout for this puzzle idea. Haul 900 states the core idea of the puzzle a bit better than this mess does, but it's not perfect and it's definitely oversized. I don't know, it's a tricky thing to work with!

Nice map. Solved pretty quickly as I had just played HAUL 9000. I agree that HAUL 9000 is a bit better in terms of design/layout than this one.

ohhh what a clever move in end. not hard but make u think. :p2blue:favorite:p2cube::p2orange:

4 months it's taken me to finally work out the end moves - 4 MONTHS!!!! I worked out how to get cubes on buttons, laser field deactivated so I could jump down to exit ages (4 MONTHS!!!!!) ago, but the final sequence eluded me - until this morning :) This is a brilliant logic puzzle and well worth coming back to again and again, until you finally crack it. Massive thumbs up and definitely added to favourites :)

Really good puzzle. Last part had me stumped on how to get the laser, the cube and myself in the exit room at the same time. I could manage two of the three easily. Great when it finallly clicked. Well done.

OK, I'm stuck, anybody out there care to enlighten me?

Another good one. Quick and easy to understand. Thanks

After playing and completing (yeeh:) the original (outer limits) i gave this one a shot. I managed to get to the far end (the exit chamber) but fail to make the last steps. Tonica's solution is patched i see, so that walkthrough video is worthless now.
Can you make a video with the solution?
My opinion is that with all the time that goes into making the level (i have seen your video you put on mediafire) , it would be a small task to place solution video's with your levels ! Nothing is more frustrating than not finishing after a long time playing and never knowing the solution.
Thanks!

Enjoyed this challenge, especially since I got to the exit.
RedSilencer  [author] 3 Feb, 2016 @ 12:47pm 
Haul 9000 is supposed to be the best version, because it narrows it down to the most basic steps. I don't remember a ceiling trick anywhere, but if I were to do something like that, it would be made very cleanly so the player knows what to do... so it wouldn't look like an accident or have portal surfaces everywhere. But yeah, the layout here is very strange and that was the original reason for remaking it. Over Hall was bad because it had a double fling and too much precision.

After not being able to complete Over Hall, Haul 9000 and even Overhaul'd which was supposed to be the easiest of them pall, I gave up and saw toncica's video. That walkthrough discouraged me even more when I saw you responding with "That used to be the solution, but I reused it for another map".

No. Just. No.
Laser puzzles are hard enough, overcomplicating things with wierd laser angles from the ceiling is unneeded.
Also the layout of the other two didn't apeal to me, because I always felt lost in those chambers. Here I don't and that's odd, considering this is some sort of "version 1.0" and the other versions don't improve uppon it. At least that's how I see it.

Yes, the test is clever, but it's like it's not my type of puzzle.
Yes, it did take me out of my comfort zone, but not in the way I wanted.

Finished this one after failed a couple of tries; I finally see the trick, nice one, thumbs up!
jandlml 19 Mar, 2015 @ 11:14am 
i cant believe i did it,i thought about last night and i thought i figured it out. then i saw you had changed it but it didnt change the way i figured out the ending.so yeah! took me forever but i did it. great chamber. make another one lolol
RedSilencer  [author] 18 Mar, 2015 @ 3:51pm 
I patched it this morning. It's harder now.
jandlml 18 Mar, 2015 @ 3:50pm 
oh man than do i need to go back and figure out the right way
RedSilencer  [author] 17 Mar, 2015 @ 11:54pm 
Funny enough, that is unintentional and I need to patch that angle. :P That used to be the solution, but I reused it for another map.
jandlml 17 Mar, 2015 @ 8:45pm 
thanks toncica i knew i was on the right track great chamber
toncica 17 Mar, 2015 @ 5:23am 
Here's a walkthrough: http://youtu.be/-qJfmbeyfFc
RedSilencer  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 9:28pm 
Download the demo, and put it into your "portal2" folder. Open Portal 2, open the console, and type "playdemo red_overhauld_solution". Press enter, and you should be good to go...
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 9:00pm 
ok i give up. you can tell when a chamber is good when i spend hours trying to figure it out.ive got both sides open .cant get the demo what is the next step. thanks
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 8:06pm 
cant get it to work thanks anyway ill keep trying
RedSilencer  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:56pm 
If you need it, here is a {LINK REMOVED}. If you don't know how to use demos, search for how to online...
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:50pm 
i really like the chambers that make me think, most of the time i figure them out.makes me feel stupid when i get right to the last bit and cant get it. i know its something simple im just not seeing.
RedSilencer  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:38pm 
Would you like a demo? Hahaha, I'm sorry you're having trouble... It's a very clever thing.
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:33pm 
ahhh i cant figure it out,should i start by going down on the door side or the laser cube side?
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:03pm 
haha maybe thats my problem i always feel like i try everything well let me try again,i hope i can get the cube over the ledge again
RedSilencer  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 6:17pm 
There's a very clean way of doing it... You have to think very logically about it.
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 3:38pm 
lol i opened the door but i cant get down to it
jandlml 16 Mar, 2015 @ 3:17pm 
well icant believe it i managed to throw the cube over the ledge but now im stuck trying to figure out how to get the laser cube and laser to the door.
RedSilencer  [author] 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:49pm 
jandlml: You're correct to throw the cube. If it lands on the ledge, you can still get to it, but at a cost...
jandlml 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:44pm 
yeah im pretty stuck. the only thingo i could think of to do was throw the laser cube over the ledge but it wouldnt go far enough ,figured it wouldnt work.once you are in the room where you turn on the laser there is no way to get back out that i can see.
RedSilencer  [author] 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:20pm 
jandlml: It's a little unobvious, but easy to do if you can think through it. There are 2 similar ways of doing what you say. Just look at what you can do with the cubes while you're up there... If you need help, I'll give you a better hint.
jandlml 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:17pm 
anyone have a runthrough cant figure out how to get the laser cube down in position. can get the other cube up top to turn on laser ,obviously missing something.
GraveNoX 11 Mar, 2015 @ 7:04pm 
The last part was hard for me, took 30 minutes+ to figure it out. Great puzzle.
quat 9 Mar, 2015 @ 4:27pm 
Cool beans
jgaultney 6 Mar, 2015 @ 7:45am 
While it was fairly easy to see what the final position of everything needed to be, It was very
difficult to figure out HOW to get there :) Thanks for a very satisfying 'aha!' moment.
Thumbs up and favorited.
Requiemsoul 6 Mar, 2015 @ 7:45am 
It was really clever and great this puzzle. I was thinking a long while. Harder than previous maps of yours. Big Thumbs up !
Daoud Baba 6 Mar, 2015 @ 5:18am 
Not hard, not easy but great test ! Nice job with this remix and i'll check the original soon....I have almost played all psn_markm workshop but not his lastest ;)
