I reach a point where my brain just freezes because of how things going on. Still love the game though.

Whenever a game expects me to put in more thought than pointing my gun at enemies and holding down the trigger while strafing or slamming down the gas pedal and steering full lock at the correct moment.

Most of the people at the top of the leaderboards aren't there because of their first try. They probably spent ages trying to optimise their solution.

tutorial sucks, i cant comprehend the arms

Also retarded enough to press Enter early
Anyway I got filtered at modem sync when every EXA has to fire off at the same time

That multibonder makes me feel retarded. Nice one
You son of a bitch

opus magnus might have one of the most gentle zachtronic learning curves

Got filtered by this like you wouldn't believe

was "big arm" solutions a thing in Opus Magnum like it was in Infinifactory?

This is how I feel. Game is fun up until it makes me feel retarded. Restart trying to fix retardedness but cause other chaos in doing so. Having a good time.

What is it like in Infinifactory?

Never played IF, I was just going for the lowest cycles. Gotta go fast.

imagine if you could extend those arms to 10 lengths
you can now cover great distances in 1 move
>i am speed

I do not understand any of this European lingo at all.

Impressive, very nice.

Does beating the zachtronic games actually make you smarter/improve puzzle solving skills? Obviously, as long as you don't look up solutions.

>1 arm challenge
i like how the game has a stage that actually encourages that mindset

it likes to make you feel like a retard first tho

Any recommendations of similar games?

to be fair this is a super crash course into micro controllers. if you had no experience before hand its pretty much the biggest filter in the world.

outta my way cyclets we get this shit done quick

I haven't played this in a very long time

the worst part?
some puzzles are stupidly easy, the answer is right there but my smooth ass brain can't figure it out at first or five tries.

Some of the tasks in Shenzhen I/O cross the line to 'this is work that I should be getting paid to do' territory

Is it possible to complete all the puzzles with one arm each?

I would assume yes, but it would take a lot of commands and probably tracks.

All Zachtronics games are like that, this is creative work VERY reminiscent of actual engineering/programming. You just don't have to deal with writing documentation and horrible bosses

Cost, cycles or area?

I kneel

I don't understand why this finishes one cycle faster than

Area every time
miniaturization will forever be the future

Alan's Automaton Workshop is kind of cool

1cycle is hard to differentiate just looking at the resultant machine.

I was fine playing their games but then i saw youtube shenzenio has people creating a raytracer engine inside the game which is a powerlvl i will never go even close to.

You cant even max out leaderboards initially because you get pieces that help later, so coming back can improve score.

Ironically Factorio taught me how to really problem solve well, whenever your building a complicated assembly line just break it down into little pieces, and build each one individually. IE for red circuits start with the wires, then the electronic circuit then the plastic.

Shenzen I/O is the best zachtronics game imo

I'm stuck on the tutorial for 3 hours and I. still have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
