Thanks a lot. Among the first two ranks there are a lot of alternative solutions, that I haven't seen before.

Regarding your solutions from the Planet rank

Block-Store: This is a backroute, but a rather clever one. So I might keep it as an acceptable alternative solution.
Blockers Forever: This is definitely a backroute, that needs to be removed.
Fiftyone steps to heaven: As it is a very open-ended level, your solution is fine.
Minor Obstacles: Nice alternative solution. This level has lots of solutions, and even a few with a builder spare.
Jump in the Ring! Wow! No wonder you considered this level extremely precise. This is the most complicated and precise solution I have seen so far.
Sewer Lemmings: Slight backroute, that needs to be fixed.
Pillar of Lemkind: This is an alternative solution, that I have not yet seen before. The other known solutions are faster, btw. Regarding the time limit: It is necessary to prevent a solution that uses only a single worker lemming.

Thanks for your quick reply! So is Jump in the Ring a backroute, then? (Since I don't know the intended solution, I'm not sure whether you could change any of the skills to prevent what I have done. )

I'm always checking back with namida's old LP of your pack, because I enjoy commentated LPs more than just replay files. However, he of course had more backroutes available, among them "The Block-Store" and "Pillar of Lemkind". I tried his backroute on "The Block-Store" and saw that you removed it, just like you shortened the broken pillar in Pillar of Lemkind so that one can't just simply bash straight to the right anymore.

I'll have to see at which point in your pack IchoTolot has arrived in the meantime .

PS: That's the planet rank you're referring to, not the moon rank .

I wouldn't call it a backroute, just an overcomplicated one. Anyway, there is basically no way to remove it, even if I wanted to.

He was already a beta-tester, but recorded his solutions only later.

Thanks. Fixed.

I waited for my solutions to be uploaded until they were all acceptable. That means no backroutes and alternative solutions at most.

Now I'm just curious: Is that the alternate NL-route to "A Study in Scarlet" Simon spoke of? It seems quite precise and I never could get it to work in the Lix-version. (Played with pack v. 2.0 and NL v. 11.15.24)

[Nepster]

Yes, everything correct: This is the alternative solution in the NeoLemmix version, it is rather precise, and it doesn't work in the Lix version.

PS: I will look into your NepsterLix replays over the next few days.

I just want to jump in here and say that Forestidia86's solution was actually the first solution I found to "A Study in Scarlet". I didn't even know the other solution existed to be honest. It's still one of my favorites not only because of the aesthetics but because it's an excellent puzzle level and was my first real head scratcher.

[Forestidia86]

Sorry that I'm posting again just one solution but I'm just curious if it is intended.

Sun 8 - "Minimalistic Platforms" - Nepsterlems v. 2.0, played with NL player v. 12.01.00

Edit:
I looked at the Lix replay from the replay collection and it seems my solution is indeed intended. I actually don't know why it is ranked so high compared to the difficulty of the other levels. But it is harder and tighter to pull off in Nepsterlems I have to admit.
Sorry, Nepster, for bothering you with it basically twice.

I think I may have backrouted this Black Hole level.
