Also there is an 100% solution for the I am A.T. level that is relatively easy to achieve with the Neolemmix mechanisms. I think that would be a good idea for a talisman. Here how it works:

Spoiler
You use the method used by snc76976 in his TAS video, but in a way that it will help you save 100% instead of 80% that snc saves in his video.

You need to create the staircase snc creates but in a way that extends lower (  closer to the steel floor ). As I said , reproducing this staircase is easy with the Neolemmix mechanisms ,  but the solution will become tricky at the end,  when the lemmings from the left hatch will reach the staircase and they will start going to the exit. In that case , to make your life easier do the following trick:
Use the three last lemmings to dig a wide pit that will have the steel floor as its lowest point, and the staircase as its highest point. Make it as wide as possible. When its finished assign one of these lemmings as a builder to build from the steel floor to the beginning of the staircase. In that case, the last lemmings will go to the exit too, and you will save 100% of the lemmings.

So I finally got round to watching SQron's replays. Very nice :thumbsup: Again there were some interesting solutions that were new to me, particularly on "Let's get together", "Down the tube", "Lemming about town" and "Scaling the Heights". You found the same backroute as joshescue on "Oh No! Squish", and two new backroutes, on "No world without you" and "Electric circuit" (fortunately these two will be very easy to fix).

So, a little bit of clean-up needs doing before I'm ready to move this to new-formats, but it should be coming soon now :thumbsup:

Thanks! I can't recall whether the solution to "Let's get together" is mine, partly mine (continuing from a looked-up solution) or looked-up/some one else's solution - I was really curious about the solution to that level.
I have to admit I was really pleased with myself about that "No world without you" backroute, hah!

Is there something wrong with my computer? "Out, away from the tune" appears to be flat out impossible due to the physics of the engine. I know that in the genesis version, bombing at the top of the penultimate staircase would create a space to build through. However, in NeoLemmix, the subsequent builder is always unable to make it to the top, bumping his head on the less generous hitbox. I have tried this over and over, frame by frame using all the bells and whistles NeoLemmix leaves at my disposal, and absolutely no dice. I don't see any possible alternate solution. Am I insane?
I am the dude who pauses the level to hear the new level music. Also, backroutes are the best routes.

Proxima

It's not impossible.

Hint
If you compare the skillset to the Genesis version, one basher was added. How could that help you?

Hypotenuse

Update: just had another gander at it and realized that I could preserve a basher on one of the lower levels of the structure, making it possible. Yep, I'm insane :))))

Just to clarify for everyone:

This topic is for Lemmings Redux in old-formats (v. 10) NeoLemmix. If you have new-formats (v. 12) then you should go to this topic.

(And if you don't have new-formats NeoLemmix, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version. It has many more quality-of-life and graphical features and two new skills; and most recent level packs are for new-formats only. Some old-formats content can't be converted or hasn't been converted yet, so it's not a bad idea to keep an old-formats installation around, but the newest update should be your main NL installation where you spend most of your playing and editing time.)
