Title: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on January 23, 2020, 01:26:57 AM
(DOS counterpart (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=1084.0))

Most of us know how this challenge works, but for those who don't - the goal is essentially to find the minimum quantity of each skill that the level can be solved with. The key thing here that differentiates this from "minimum skills" is that each skill is considered separately - for example, if a level can be solved with 1 builder + 99 bashers, or alternatively with 99 builders + 1 basher, the ultimate result is "1 builder + 1 basher", because those are the separate minimums for each individual skill.

Only skills assigned count towards the total: lemmings with pre-assigned skills do not, and obtaining a pickup skill does not subtract from the total.

Similar to Proxima's max-saved topic, we'll start with Lemmings Redux.

Some of the replays for my Gentle results (I've only included ones that are fairly interesting):

Gentle 9 "Get A Little Extra Help", no builders
Gentle 15 "Darkness Of The Royal Family", 3 builders
Gentle 16 "A Beast Of A Level", no builders
Gentle 19 "Where Do You See Lemmings?", no builders
Gentle 23 "Pillar Talking", 5 builders
Gentle 25 "The Crankshaft", no miners
Gentle 31 "Doomsday", 2 builders
Gentle 32 "Going Their Seperate Ways", no climbers + 2 floaters

An improvement already - found a 1-floater solution to "Going Their Seperate Ways". (The previous replay is still useful, as this replay does use climbers; the 2-floater replay doesn't.)

EDIT: And now, found a no-floater solution.

I'm not 100% confident in my result for "Darkness of the Royal Family" yet either. I don't think it can be improved, but I could see myself being wrong here - there might be a 2- or even 1-builder solution out there (I'm 100% sure there's no zero-builder solution).

Please can you explain this challenge further. What is the significance of mentioning a skill if none are required? For instance, I can solve Just dig! with no gliders whatsoever!

So... if a level requires 99 builders, the goal is to reduce this to as close to 1 builder as possible...? ???

Just Dig doesn't give gliders, so that's a bit silly to mention.

Essentially, think of it as doing a seperate minimum-skills run for each skill (within the limits of the level's actual skillset - eg: you can't say "I can solve Just Dig without diggers, by using a basher instead", because Just Dig doesn't give you any bashers). This is something you should keep in mind in general - unless the challenge rules specifically say otherwise, it's assumed that the level's normal skillset, save requirement and time limit still apply. (An example where they didn't would be the "what levels could be solved with 1 of each skill" challenge - that challenge specifically stated that the normal skillset is ignored, and instead is replaced with exactly 1 of each skill.)

Using "Going Their Seperate Ways" as an example:

1. The "normal" solution uses 10 climbers, 10 floaters and 4 builders. So, we can use these as a starting point.

2. I then found a solution which solved the level with no climbers, 2 floaters, and 10 builders. We look at each skill individually:
2a) "No climbers" is an improvement over "10 climbers". Our record for climbers is now 0. (It doesn't matter that we used some floaters and builders here; because we consider each skill seperately.)
2b) "2 floaters" is an improvement over "10 floaters". Our record for floaters is now 2.
2c) "10 builders" is not an improvement over "4 builders", so our record for builders is still 4.

Now our "skills we can't live without" is 2 floaters + 4 builders. (No climbers - this is implied by them not being mentioned at all.)

3. I then found another solution, this one solving the level with 10 climbers + 10 builders, no floaters used.
3a) Climbers is already at zero, we can't improve this any further.
3b) "No floaters" is better than "2 floaters", so our record for floaters is now 0.
3c) We still haven't improved on 4 builders.

Thus, ultimately, our result: just 4 builders. We could solve the level in several different ways, but every possible solution uses (at least) 4 builders - there's no known solution with 3 or fewer builders.

Specifically mentioning that I found a no-floater solution was significant, because this no-floater solution was an improvement over the existing record for floaters (which was 2 floaters).


Often, a level - especially an X-of-everything level - can be approached much more simply than this. Take for example "Turn Around Young Lemmings". I found a solution that only used bombers, and then I found a solution that only used builders. The bomber-only solution uses 0 builders, the builder-only solution uses 0 bombers, and both solutions use 0 of everything else - just like that, the result is found: "None". You of course can't solve the level without using any skills at all, but there is no specific skill you're required to use.

Actually, the normal solution needs 5 builders, because even if the first lemming is a floater and the next ten are all climbers, the floater doesn't have time to bridge all the gaps before the next floater arrives. Do you have a 4-builder solution?

Oops, I wasn't aware of this. Then the requirement is 5 builders. I did try a few things but no, it indeed doesn't seem that 4 builders is doable.

I tried a couple of things towards it:
- Having two lemmings work on the path. RR 66 for one lemming (either the first or the second) then RR 50 again, make the 2nd climb, and 3rd becomes the second worker; he'll make it across the bridge, but then the first worker will fall into the gap. (All gaps are equal length, I checked.)
- Assigning a floater to the 12th lemming immediately when he comes out of the entrance. This does add a slight bit of extra delay, but it isn't even nearly enough.
- Doing the first builder from near the entrance, instead of after falling. It falls 2 pixels too short.

Confirmed that my Lemmix no-bomber solution to It's Lemmingentry Watson also works (with some minor tweaks) on NeoLemmix. Like on Lemmix, it still doesn't allow saving 100%, because you lose the digger despite not bombing him.

namida and I had a lot of fun today racing each other to set records for this challenge 8-) We made it up to Quirky 19 before namida got called away, and I did the next three levels on my own. I've attached a few replays for some of the more interesting challenges:

Quirky 4 (Go for it!) no basher
Quirky 11 (DON'T PANIC) no basher
Quirky 16 (MENACING !!) 3 builders -- the main "skills you can't live without" topic has 4 builders, but that's based on the DOS version. Redux uses the Genesis version of this level, with a smaller gap in the middle.
Quirky 18 (One way or another) 6 builders

Here's my interesting replays from today's session.

02 "It's Lemmingentry Watson", no bomber (also posted above)
03 "Vacation In Gemland", 1 basher
03 "Vacation In Gemland", no diggers
04 "Go For It!", 2 builders
04 "Go For It!", no miner
06 "Just A Quicky", 1 builder
12 "Over The Wall", 2 bashers
15 "Plethora of Presents", 2 bashers
18 "One Way Or Another", builders-only

It is silly, but I enjoy silliness; It helps me to make sense of things! :lemcat:

Thanks for the detailed explanation Namida, I fully understand this challenge now; essentially finding the minimum skill(s) and their relevant quantities that are required for every known solution. :thumbsup:

I may not have been able to get results quicker than you, but I can at least improve one of your results. :P

Quirky 22 "The Far Side", no basher. :)

I started on LPI for this as well, since Proxima wasn't up to doing more Redux the other day. Finished Mild off today, here's the results:

Mild 10 "Take Your Time" - 10 climbers
Mild 12 "On The Pier" - 1 builder
Mild 19 "Up To Where They Go" - 1 builder
Mild 22 "Blow Down" - 6 bombers
Mild 27 "The Quarantine" - 2 builders
Mild 28 "The Descending Pillar Scenario" - 1 builder
Mild 30 "You Just Lost The Game!" - 1 builder

All others - None

Replays attached for no builders on Mild 21, no builders on Mild 29, and one builder on Mild 30. No builders on Mild 26 was Proxima's achievement. The rest are relatively simple and shouldn't need replays, but ask if you want any.

EDIT: And Proxima found no builders on Mild 30 - a huge oversight on my part.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on January 30, 2020, 10:23:59 PM
Replay for Mild 26 (No Salvation) no builders.

This won't work on later No Salvations as it uses 9 bashers, but with some modifications, the route could work with fewer -- not sure exactly at what point it will stop working. Separately, I have a 1-builder solution that will work on all five levels, but I didn't save a replay of it.

Wimpy so far:

01 "Lemming Net" - None
02 "Lucky Charm" - 1 builder
03 "Just For Fun" - 1 builder
04 "Savior" - 1 builder
05 "Get Together" - None
06 "Two Pathways" - None
07 "No Salvation II" - None (thanks to Proxima)
08 "(Also they are ninjas.)" - None
09 "It's A Thin Line!" - 5 builders
10 "Labyrinth Of Despair" - (No result yet)
11 "The Flagpole" - None
12 "Only One Place To Go" - 1 basher, 1 digger
13 "A Magician Would Be Handy" - None
14 "Go East Or West?" - None
15 "Just When You Think You Know!" - 1 builder

I don't think a replay's necessary for no-builders on Mild 13, but if you are stuck on it, the key is...

Dumping our results from Discord yesterday, continuing with Wimpy:

16 "Lemmings on Stilts" - 9 builders
17 "No Need To Worry!" - 1 builder
23 "It's a strange land!" - 1 builder
24 "Up, Down, Round & Round" - 6 builders
25 "Down With The Lemmings" - 1 builder
26 "Overheat" - (No result yet)
27 "Ready, Aim, Fire!" - 3 diggers
28 "Get up, up, up!" - (1 builder suspected, no confirmed result yet)
29 "Russian Rescue" - 1 climber, 1 blocker, 3 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner
30 "Counterlogical" - ??? builders (at least 4)

EDIT: And right after posting this, found a climber-free solution to Russian Rescue.

Wimpy 28 is easily solved builders+bashers only or builders+miners only, so everything except builders is eliminated. 1 builder is fairly easy. I don't think no builders is possible, because I can't see a way to get up from the level you start at.

Wimpy 30 can certainly be solved with 5 builders, but I don't see a way to get it in only 4. You would have to go the top route with climbers, but since you have 20 climbers and need to save 20, you can't use a climb-bomber anywhere. That leaves going up the far left pillar with interrupted bashers/miners as the only possibility, but I think it's just too narrow for the amount of height you have to gain.

Haven't looked at 26 yet, other than glancing at it and deciding "this looks horrible" :P

Post by: namida on January 31, 2020, 07:06:34 PM
Wimpy 28 no builders confirmed. I'm inclined to agree with you about Wimpy 30 (though might give it a go just in case at some point).

Post by: namida on January 31, 2020, 08:47:10 PM
Popping back over to Redux, we made some progress here. Proxima's updated the first post with the rest of Quirky.

Quirky 30 may be improvable to 3 builders, but I can't be bothered trying it at the moment. I suspect the 2-basher result from DOS can't be replicated here due to the more sensitive NL basher.

Here's my interesting replays. Note that the first one, the climber can be easily swapped for an extra builder (or even just for some release rate manipulation).

namida and I finished off Redux/Quirky on Discord just now. We're pretty confident these are final results, except maybe 30 (Izzie Wizzie).

Replays attached for Quirky 31 (Cascade) no floaters, and Quirky 32 (And then there were four) builders-only.

Back to Wimpy 30 in Lemmings Plus I, 4 builders is now confirmed possible. That was a messy one!

It's trivial to see that 3 is impossible, unless there's some steel glitch we're not aware of (and if there is, it would then get patched out in a future version of NL anyway).
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on February 11, 2020, 07:34:52 PM
Wimpy 26, 2 builders confirmed. Less than this isn't conclusively ruled out, but I would be extremely surprised if it can be done (though this level is very generous in terms of skillset, so maybe...).

Eliminating everything other than builders is trivial.

namida did most of the heavy lifting in this session, but I have a few interesting replays to show:

* Medi 1 "Secret to Success" no builders
* Medi 3 "The Box" no builders
* Medi 13 "No Salvation III" no builders
* Medi 16 "Grounded!" 2 bombers, no blockers

My Medi 20 result is just my earlier max saved result, minus the extra floater as I can afford to lose one more.

Medi 21 "As It Burns Away..." - 3 climbers, 3 bombers, 1 blocker, 2 builders, 2 miners
Medi 22 "Lemming Entertainment Center" - 1 builder (replay attached for no-blocker)
Medi 23 "Fallen" - 2 climbers, 1 blocker, 2 bashers, 2 miners (replay attached for 1 blocker)
Medi 24 "Eye of the Lemming" - 2 builders, 1 basher, 2 miners
Medi 25 "Wall of Wisdom" - (no result yet)
Medi 26 "So That's The Plan" - 6 builders (seperate replays attached for 6 builders; no bashers)
Medi 27 "Take A Dive" - 2 climbers, 1 bomber, 2 blockers, 2 builders, 1 basher
Medi 28 "Way Up High" - 2 climbers, 1 bomber, 1 builder (replay attached for 2 climbers)
Medi 29 "Lemmingsense" - 1 climber, 4 builders, 2 bashers (replay attached for no bombers + 4 builders; this one's a single replay that achieves both)
Medi 30 "Consider Everything..." - 3 builders (replay attached for no blockers or bashers; max-saved replay achieves no bombers; 3 builders is Proxima's result, see above post)

Medi 21 hasn't had much attention yet, and Medi 25 has no result yet because it's annoying.

Zany 3 "Last One Out Is A Rotten Egg" - 3 builders (Proxima's result re: diggers / miners)
Zany 4 "Lemmtris" - None (Proxima has a replay for no climbers + no miners; talisman solution achieves no bashers; the rest is easy)
Zany 5 "Watch Out, There's Traps About" - 1 builder
Zany 6 "Compression Method 1" - 1 basher (no-blocker replay attached)
Zany 7 "No time for a detour" - None (Proxima's result)

Zany 9 "No Justice For The Hero" - 1 builder, 1 miner, 1 digger
Zany 10 "Flow Control" - 1 builder
Zany 11 "Lemming Tomato Ketchup Facility" - 1 climber, 2 bombers (2-bomber replay attached)
Zany 12 "Twins" - 4 builders (Proxima's result)
Zany 13 "Don't leave any Lemmings" - 3 builders, 1 bomber (max-saved uses 1 bomber, no-blockers is trivial, 3-builder replay attached)
Zany 14 "Pitfall" - 4 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger (4-builder replay attached)
Zany 15 "With a little help from my Lem" - 2 climbers, 3 bashers, 2 diggers

* Zany 4 no climbers or miners
* Zany 7 no digger (no miner is easy, and the level can be solved with these two skills alone)

* Zany 17, no miner

More replays! This batch includes Zany 25 (Have a nice day), which is a talisman, but namida mentioned he was struggling on this one so I thought I should include it.

* Zany 18 (KEEP ON TRUCKING) 2 builders, and no blockers
* Zany 21 (Mutiny on the Bounty) no climber
* Zany 22 (SNOW JOKE) 3 builders (neither namida nor I managed to match Clam's 2-builder result from DOS ONML)

We went through the rest of Zany to set preliminary results, but there were several levels for which we couldn't match the DOS result, yet couldn't find a conclusive reason why it couldn't be matched. Definitely worth having another look at these at some point.

17 "Lemming Lament" - 1 climber, 3 bombers, 4 builders
18 "KEEP ON TRUCKING" - 2 builders, 1 basher (possible with no basher in DOS; we haven't looked at the replay yet)
19 "Postcard from Lemmingland" - 1 climber, 1 builder
20 "Dolly Dimple" - 3 builders, 1 digger
21 " Mutiny on the Bounty" - 6 builders
22 "SNOW JOKE" - 3 builders, 1 basher (possible with 2 builders in DOS; Clam claimed this but never posted a replay)
23 "ONWARD AND UPWARD" - 2 climbers, 2 bombers, 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner
24 "I have a cunning plan" - None
25 "Have a nice day!" - 5 builders
26 "Across the Gap" - 1 builder, 1 basher (possible with no basher in DOS; Clam claimed this but never posted a replay)
27 "Jump down!" - 5 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner
28 "Worra load of old blocks!" - 3 builders (possible with 2 in DOS; we haven't looked at the replay yet)
29 "Four Play" - 1 builder, 1 basher, 3 miners, 3 diggers
30 "Got anything... Lemmingy???" - 2 builders
31 "ROCKY ROAD" - 2 builders
32 "The North Poles" - 2 climbers, 9 builders, 3 diggers. Minim claimed that 1 climber is possible in DOS, but with no replay; Clam disputed this and it was never resolved. I have edited the DOS topic to say 2 climbers, unless proof is provided.

Replays attached for 28 no climber and 30 no digger (quite different from namida's solution).

Separately, I have a 1-builder solution that will work on all five levels, but I didn't save a replay of it.

Doesn't NeoLemmix now automatically saves any solving replays under an "Auto" subfolder or similar?  At least some of the more recent versions do.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on February 13, 2020, 03:19:12 PM
It does, but on that occasion I didn't actually exit play after solving, which would have saved a replay. I later went back to create a No Salvation V 1-builder replay, and it's attached here (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=4614.msg79546#msg79546).
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: ccexplore on February 13, 2020, 07:19:53 PM
Ah I see.  Would it have helped if NeoLemmix had autosaved the replay without requiring exit play (ie. saving at the moment the save requirement has been satisfied)?  Or did you rewind/restart the replay before that point anyway, so that there was never an opportunity for NeoLemmix to possibly know there's something worth autosaving?
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on February 13, 2020, 08:08:54 PM
It was deliberate. No Salvation I has 50 lemmings and each successive iteration has 10 fewer, so I wanted to save a solving replay on No Salvation V so as to ensure it would work on all five levels. A replay saved on No Salvation I would have broken on the later levels if any of the lemmings I'd assigned skills to happened to be the 11th lemming or later.

Danger 9 - 2 climbers, 1 blocker, 1 miner, 1 digger (replay attached for 2-climbers)
Danger 10 - 11 builders (replay attached)
Danger 11 - 1 climber, 3 builders, 2 miners (replays attached for: 1-climber; 3-builders; no-basher; 2-miners. The no-basher solution, you can replace the digger with the basher for a no-digger)
Danger 12 - 10 climbers, 1 basher, 1 digger (replays attached for no-builders and 1-digger)

Some of the results that replays aren't provided for (by me) are Proxima's, see the next post.

* Danger 7, miners only
* Danger 12, 10 climbers

Post by: namida on February 15, 2020, 06:34:05 PM
I ended up doing one more - was going to keep going but ran into Danger 14, which I didn't feel like taking on at the time.

For Danger 13 "Breakthrough" - 3 climbers, 4 bombers, 1 blocker, 5 builders

Replay attached that achieves 3 climbers, 4 bombers and 1 blocker all in the same replay (and saves 56, currently believed to be the maximum possible, too). You can remove the miner by swapping it out for an extra climb-bomber in said replay.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on February 20, 2020, 04:47:15 AM
Danger 14 "Death In All Directions" - 6 builders, 1 basher, 2 miners (100% solution eliminates blocker + bomber; replays attached for no climber, 6 builders, no digger; you can swap out the 2nd miner for a digger in the no-digger solution to get 2 miners)

Danger 15 "Circular Wavelength" - 3 climbers, 1 blocker, 1 builder, 1 miner (replay attached for 1 blocker, the rest of the results are Proxima's)

Danger 16 "The Oddstack" - 2 climbers, 2 bombers, 4 builders, 2 miners (replays attached for everything)

Danger 17 "Perfectionism" - 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger (Proxima's results)

Danger 18 "The Buildo Station" - 24 builders (replay attached)

Danger 19 "Antigravity" - 2 diggers (replays attached for no bashers, no miners, 2 diggers)

Danger 20 "No Salvation IV" - None (replay attached for no builders; the rest is Proxima's results)

Here are my interesting replays from tonight's session:

* Danger 15, 1 builder, and (3 climbers, no basher)
* Danger 17, 1 basher and 1 digger (both replays are no-floater)
* Danger 20, one replay for (no climbers, floaters, bombers, blockers), one for (no bashers, 1 miner, no diggers). The miner can easily be switched for a basher to achieve no miners.

Post by: Proxima on February 20, 2020, 05:09:35 AM
namida prompted me to take another look at Danger 14, so here's a no-miner solution. The basher can then be replaced with a miner for a no-basher solution.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on February 20, 2020, 07:26:52 AM
Just managed to squeeze out a win on Medi 25 (Wall of Wisdom) with 10 climbers. I can't prove this is minimal, but considering how tight it was with 10, I would be surprised if it could get any lower.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without

Danger 24 - 1 climber, 1 builder, 1 basher, 1 miner (replays attached for each of these 1's; eliminating the rest is WillLem's result)

Replay for Danger 30, 1 basher. Everything else is easy to reduce to the minimum.

Post by: namida on February 22, 2020, 12:35:32 AM
Seems the best we can find for the last two Danger levels are:

Danger 26 "With Love, From Trogdor" - 59 climbers, 3 bombers, 2 blockers, 5 builders, 3 bashers (replay attached for 3 bashers; the rest are either Proxima's results or trivial)
Danger 28 "Coalburner" - 2 climbers, 4 floaters, 2 bombers, 3 blockers, 6 builders, 2 bashers (replay attached uses 2 climbers + 4 floaters + 2 bombers + 4 blockers + 3 bashers; you can trivially swap the spare bomber for either one of the blockers or one of the bashers)

Over to Redux again, for Manic 1 to 10:

Manic 1 - 2 builders, 2 bashers, 1 digger
Manic 2 - 3 builders (replay attached for 3 builders)
Manic 3 - 6 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner (replays attached for no climber, no blocker, no bomber; the no-climber is trivial to make into a 1-miner; 1-basher is Proxima's result)
Manic 4 - 1 climber, 2 builders, 4 bashers, 1 digger (replay attached for 2 builders)
Manic 5 - 1 climber, 4 builders, 4 bashers, 2 diggers (1 climber is Proxima's result)
Manic 6 - 1 builder, 1 basher, 1 digger (1 basher attached; 1 digger is Proxima's result)
Manic 7 - 4 builders (replay attached for this; eliminating everything else is fairly easy)
Manic 8 - 7 builders, 2 bashers (replay attached for 7 builders)
Manic 9 - 11 climbers, 5 builders, 3 miners (replay attached for 11 climbers)
Manic 10 - 1 climber, 1 floater, 1 bomber, 1 blocker, 8 builders, 1 basher

Post by: Proxima on February 22, 2020, 02:27:52 AM
And my replays. (No replay for Danger 26, which is just my max saved result minus assigning one climber since you can afford to lose one.)

* Manic 2, no blockers
* Manic 5, 1 climber
* Manic 6, 1 basher, 1 digger
* Manic 7, builders only

I didn't save a replay for Manic 3, 1 basher since this is just the talisman solution. Manic 6 no climbers was discussed in the main Redux topic.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on February 27, 2020, 11:49:30 PM
Latest Redux session, and my replays:

Manic 11 "Where Lemmings Dare" - 4 builders (replays attached for no blocker, no basher, no miner, no digger)
Manic 12 "Steel Block Party" - 1 basher, 1 digger (no-builder is Proxima's result)
Manic 13 "Upside-Down World" - 1 basher, 1 miner (replays attached for no climber, no builders, 1 basher)
Manic 14 "Come On Over To My Place" - 1 builder
Manic 15 "The Silence Of The Lemmings" - 2 bombers, 1 builder, 1 basher (replays attached for 2 bombers, no blocker, 1 basher)
Manic 16 "A BeastII Of A Level" - 6 builders (replay attached, though it's not very hard)
Manic 17 "Just a Minute" - 2 bashers, 1 digger (replay attached; we suspect this is improvable to 1 basher but can't be bothered confirming it as it's really fiddly)
Manic 18 "The Gate Trap Lemmings" - 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger (I did get a 1-basher replay, but Proxima produced a much tidier one)
Manic 19 "Poles Apart" - 4 builders, 2 bashers (replays attached for no climbers, 4 builders, 2 bashers, no diggers)
Manic 20 "Fall and No Life" - 1 floater, 3 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner
Manic 21 "Electric Circuit" - 1 builder, 1 basher, 1 digger (replay attached for 1 builder; 1 digger is Proxima's result)
Manic 22 "It's Not Over 'Til It's Over" - 2 builders, 1 miner, 1 digger (replay attached for 2 builders; 1 digger is Proxima's result)
Manic 23 "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" - 2 blockers, 3 builders (replays attached for no floaters, 2 blockers, 3 builders)
Manic 24 "The Race Against Cliches" - 1 builder, 1 basher (replay attached for no diggers; the rest is Proxima's results)

The results for Manic 19, 23 and 24 here also ended up improving the DOS results too. :D

EDIT: Proxima's 1 digger on Manic 22 was a miscommunication. However - after realising this, I managed to do 1 digger myself. Replay attached.

Mod Edit: Because "Where Lemmings Dare" has moved to Manic 31 in the updated version of Lemmings Redux, this level's attachments are now separate from the original ZIP file, and its number has been updated accordingly.

This was a great session :thumbsup: Unlike namida, I didn't manage to improve any DOS results, but I did make a lot of contributions, so for once I've zipped my replays rather than posting them individually. The zip contains:

* Manic 11, 4 builders
* Manic 12, no builder
* Manic 13, 8 skills, 1 miner, no blocker. (We were not minimising total skills, but I made the 8-skills replay as a starting point. It also happens to be a no-digger solution.)
* Manic 14, 1 builder, no floater, no miner, no digger
* Manic 15, 1 builder and no digger (same replay)
* Manic 18, 1 basher
* Manic 21, 2 builders and 1 digger
* Manic 24, 1 builder 1 basher, and 5 skills (the latter is a no-climber no-floater solution)

Manic 25 "Acrophobia": 4 builders. Attached are replays for 4 builders and removal of all other skills, except for the bomber, which is an easy modification of the no-miner solution. (This is also how to save 100% on this level.)

Post by: Proxima on February 28, 2020, 03:15:20 AM
Thanks to WillLem joining us, we were inspired to finish off the Manic rating. Here are my contributions for the rest (namida also has some):

Manic 26 "Triple Trouble" builders/miners/diggers only, no miners, and no diggers
Manic 30 "POOR WEE CREATURES!" no climber/miner, 3 builders/no bomber, and no bashers
Manic 31 "With a twist of lemming, please" 3 builders
Manic 32 "Temple of Love" no climber, 9 builders

Mod Edit: Because "With a twist of lemming, please" has been moved to Manic 11 in the updated version of Lemmings Redux, the level's attachment is now separate from the original ZIP file and the number has been updated accordingly.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on February 28, 2020, 03:23:00 AM
Overall results are:

Manic 25 "Acrophobia" - 2 builders (replay attached - this is one of those "must see" ones!)
Manic 26 "Triple Trouble" - 7 builders (replay attached)
Manic 27 "Watch Your Fingertip" - 2 builders, 3 bashers, 1 miner (replay attached for 2 builders and 3 bashers; for no-blocker see my 100% solution in the max-saved topic)
Manic 28 "Out, Away From The Tune!" - 1 bomber, 5 builders, 6 bashers
Manic 29 "Just A Minute (Part 2)" - 2 bashers, 1 digger (replay attached; exactly the same as this result on Manic 17, but probably not improvable this time)
Manic 30 "Poor Wee Creatures" - 1 floater, 3 builders (Proxima's / WillLem's results)
Manic 31 "With A Twist Of Lemming Please" - 10 floaters, 3 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger (replay attached for no-climber)
Manic 32 "Temple of Love" - 1 blocker, 9 builders (replay attached for no climber / floater, 9 builders is Proxima's result, see my max-saved solution for 1-blocker)

Lunatic 11 "Fix The Road, Quick!" - 8 builders (replay attached)

Great to have a full set of results for the pack :thumbsup: There are still a couple of levels that should be given another look, because we felt the results were probably improvable but would require a lot of fiddling about -- "Just a Minute" and "It's all a matter of timing" in particular. Anyhow, these are our results for the last 16 levels:

17 "Creature Discomforts" - 5 builders
18 "Scaling the Heights" - 2 builders (DireKrow's result; improves on the DOS result but we haven't tested this on DOS yet)
19 "Private room available" - 1 builder, 2 bashers, 19 diggers
20 "No hurry, relax" - 1 climber, 1 floater, 3 builders, 7 bashers
21 "The Steel Mines of Kessel" - 5 bombers, 2 builders
22 "Hello John! Got a New Lemming?" - 1 climber, 6 floaters, 2 builders, 4 bashers
23 "The Great Lemming Caper" - 2 builders
24 "Everyone's a hard nut" - 2 builders, 1 basher
25 "Watch right or left (Part Two)" - 1 bomber, 1 builder, 1 basher
26 "Final impediment" - 9 builders
27 "Let's go camping." - 1 floater, 1 blocker, 7 builders, 3 bashers
28 "Lemmings in a situation" - 7 builders, 1 digger
29 "Save Me" - 4 blockers, 11 builders, 1 digger
30 "Lemmings' Ark" - 1 climber, 4 builders, 1 miner, 1 digger
31 "I am A.T." - 8 diggers
32 "Fall and no life (Part Two)" - 1 floater, 5 builders, 4 bashers, 1 miner

Replays will be posted soon.

Here are my interesting replays from the session. The set contains:

* Creature Discomforts, no climbers
* Scaling the Heights, no blocker and no miner
* Private room available, 19 diggers (for those wondering, the level has 10 lemmings, not 20 as on Genesis!)
* The Steel Mines of Kessel, 5 bombers
* Hello John! Got a New Lemming?, 4 bashers and no digger
* The Great Lemming Caper, no basher and no climber
* Everyone's a hard nut, 2 builders
* Final impediment, 9 builders, no floater, no blocker (the latter two in one replay)
* Lemmings in a situation, 1 digger and no basher

And another cross-referenced result: MASTER-88's 29 diggers on SNES Sunsoft 3 (the same level as "Private room available") has enabled me to reduce the NL result to 11 diggers. (Again, the drastic difference is because the NL level has 10 fewer lemmings than the SNES and Genesis versions.)

Redux/Lunatic 15 "Evil whisper": Previous results are invalidated by the new backroute fix. My current result is 1 builder, 1 basher, 2 miners, 1 digger.

Since DireKrow and roundthewheel are both going through the pack at the moment, I want to wait a little longer before I say for absolute certain that the pack is finalised and there will be no more fixes, but I'd say I'm about 99% sure there won't be. Of course there are still lots of alternative and unintended solutions, but that's usually a good thing and what makes challenges like "skills you can't live without" so interesting.

Lunatic 27 "Let's go camping": DireKrow found a solution saving one basher, and I was able to modify it to do without the floater.

GeoffLems Tricky 26 "Lemmings: 1, Man: 0", here's a solution that eliminates the digger. That's the only improvement I could find (came very close to a no-climber on 29, but couldn't quite make it work).

Tricksy 12, eliminated the builder and the floater (seperately).

Tricksy 13, eliminated the walkers and the shimmiers, as well as cut platformers down to 8, all at the same time. I haven't yet looked at the remaining skills, nor looked at whether further improvements to platformers is possible.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on June 27, 2020, 02:45:26 AM
I solved 13 and eliminated swimmers, and WillLem has gotten the remaining skills down to 3 of each. I am far from confident this is the final result, but don't feel like looking at it any more tonight, after spending a long time getting most of the talismans in this rank.

Here's seperate eliminations for Bashers and Fencers on Tricksy 13. I still haven't had much of a look at Platformers and Builders yet.

Genuinely love these solutions - excellent work! :lemcat: :thumbsup:

I can solve Milkshake Party with 5 walkers of the 8 given, plus everything else, so:
5 walkers, 1 each of shimmier, climber, glider, platformer, builder, stacker, fencer, digger, cloner.

* Milkshake Party, no platformer (essentially the same solution works for no builder; the platformer will stop just before the screen edge)
* Staircase to Nowhere, 11 walkers

And, I took a look at Builders and Platformers on Tricksy 13 now. I'm pretty sure this is optimal for both - 1 of each.

I thought I might download Lemminas again and have a go at these too.

I'm pleased to announce that Lemminas' largest level, Pandemonium 16 (Rendezvous at the Mountain Part II) can be confirmed as None. The quantity of Cloner Pickups and the save requirement are a big giveaway here. Another big giveaway can be seen in my no disarmers replay to save the cloners. I did forget to attach the replay for no stacker/no basher, but hey, this is so easy to work round right?

This just leaves 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13. I've looked at WillLem's solutions from the download and have recorded his results. Here they are for reference.

1: 1 glider, 5 platformers, 3 bashers, 1 climber, 4 builders, 1 cloner, 1 digger
3: 2 diggers, 2 climbers, 2 floaters, 4 builders, 2 miners, 4 bashers, 4 platformers, 4 walkers, 4 fencers.
4: 2 basher, 2 fencer, 1 stacker, 1 blocker, 1 builder, 3 walkers, 1 miner, 1 digger.
12: 1 miner, 1 basher, 2 fencers, 1 builder, 2 walkers, 1 stacker
13: 19 builders, 2 climbers, 2 gliders, 10 platformers, 4 stackers, 4 bashers, 5 walkers.

I had a look at Nightmare On Lem Street III this evening. I've eliminated everything except 1 Floater and 1 Builder (see attached replays). This level hasn't been very popular so far, but it was great to SYCLW, and it's still one of my pack favourites!

Anyways, it seems that the results for Pandemonium so far are these:

1 "Lemmina City Steel Facility" - 1 glider, 5 platformers, 3 bashers, 1 climber, 4 builders, 1 cloner, 1 digger
2 "Milkshake Party" - 5 walkers, 1 shimmier, 1 climber, 1 glider, 1 stacker, 1 fencer, 1 digger, 1 cloner
3 "Nightmare on Lem Street III" - 1 floater, 1 builder
4 "Lemgate" - 2 basher, 2 fencer, 1 stacker, 1 blocker, 1 builder, 3 walkers, 1 miner, 1 digger
5 "The Cherry Cola Conundrum" - 1 basher, 1 digger
6 "L-Pop" - None
7 "Falling Forever Part II" - 2 climbers, 1 floater, 1 glider, 1 platformer, 1 builder, 1 stacker, 1 cloner
8 "Staircase To Nowhere III" - 11 walkers, 3 builders, 5 stackers
9 "With a Twist of Lemmina Please" - 3 walkers, 1 climber, 1 glider, 2 blockers, 3 platformers, 1 stacker, 1 fencer, 2 cloners
10 "I'll Just Wait Here, Shall I?" - 1 walker, 3 platformers, 1 stacker, 1 fencer, 1 cloner
11 "Mary Poppins' Land II" - 7 platformers, 1 builder
12 "Erm..." - 1 miner, 1 basher, 2 fencers, 1 builder, 2 walkers, 1 stacker
13 "Constellations II" - 19 builders, 2 climbers, 2 gliders, 10 platformers, 4 stackers, 4 bashers, 5 walkers
14 "Save Us!" - 14 stackers
15 "Nothing is Impossible" - 7 builders, 1 basher, 8 diggers
16 "Rendezvous at the Mountain Part II" - None

I'm pretty happy to call most of these for now; I'll have another look at 13 tomorrow evening because that one seems to be another troublesome one that people don't like, and those results are almost certainly improvable.

Massive thanks again to everyone who's contributed to these so far.

Darn. I did this earlier this morning and forgot to check the forum. I've ended up with the same result too. Your Gold Talisman replay certainly came in handy. ;)

I made improvements to both these levels. My results are below. My zip compressor program expired so I'll just put up my best ones. At least I was able to get the talisman replays. Still, I'll need to find another one, probably PeaZip or something like that. :P

12: 1 miner, 1 fencer, 1 builder, 1 walker.
13: 8 builders, 1 stacker, 2 bashers.

1 walker replay attached for 12.

Several replays for 13, including a no platformer solution. 8) I've had no luck on levels 1 and 4 I'm afraid.

I recommend 7Zip, that one seems to be the most user-friendly of the bunch and allows you to extract directly from context menu to basically wherever you want.

Totals for Pandemonium: 27 Builders, 25 Stackers, 19 Platformers, 14 Walkers, 12 Diggers, 9 Bashers, 6 Cloners, 6 Fencers, 5 Climbers, 4 Gliders, 3 Blockers, 2 Miners, 2 Floaters, 1 Shimmier

Why the hurry? You knew I was still working on this. I'm sorry I couldn't finish the rank at your pace, but I do have a life outside Lemmings >:(

I've got Lemgate down to 1 walker, 1 builder, 1 stacker, which is a result I'm happy with. The builder is obviously necessary; the other two very likely are but it's not absolutely certain.

As for the rest: Haven't solved 1 yet. 3 is clearly unimprovable. I looked at 12 without finding anything. On 13, the bashers are obviously necessary since you don't start with enough skills to avoid the pickups. I was able to eliminate the stacker. Optimising builders remains to be done; I'll save this for another day.

Nicely done! Some very clever solutions here. I've updated the records accordingly (including 0 Stackers for 13).

I wanted to upload the records as they were yesterday simply because I had some time to do so. I expect further improvements will happen, I don't think any set of SYCLW results is "final!" 8-) ;P

Meanwhile, WillLem and I started on MiniLems/Taxing:

1 "Watch out, there's traps about" - 1 builder
2 "Heaven can wait (we hope!!!!)" - 4 builders, 1 digger
3 "Lend a helping hand...." - 7 builders
4 "Compression Method 1" - 1 bomber, 1 blocker, 1 basher
5 "The ascending pillar scenario" - 6 builders
6 "Livin' On The Edge" - 5 builders, 1 basher

It's possible that 5 and 6 in particular may be improvable.

Good start. Great job getting Taxing 2 down to 4 builders! Containing the crowd without builders and blockers is always tricky.
I've done all of Taxing before I saw this post, and am currently working through the whole of Mayhem. I have improved Taxing 5 to 5 builders. Replay attached in the bundle containing all the other harder (or longer) challenges. 6 is very annoying indeed, particularly for no bashers so try avoiding improvements to that one. :P

Here are the rest of my results:

7: 1 builder, 1 basher
8: 7 builders
9: 5 builders
10: 7 builders, 2 bashers
11: 16 builders
12: 15 builders
13: 4 builders
14: 6 builders
15: 2 bombers, 6 builders
16: 5 floaters, 5 builders

Because 11 is so long and involves switches, I can't be bothered improving the builder count here. The 16-builder result is in my 0 digger solution. I thought it would be best to try eliminating the other skills first (or at least get everything down to 1, if not, a single digit) before uploading them. 16 is also likely to be improvable.

Looks like the challenges are going into a lull again. Still, I've worked through MiniLems Mayhem last week and here's what I've got so far. Once again, replays for harder (and more tedious) challenges attached in the bundle.

1 "Steel Works" - 1 floater, 15 builders
2 "The Boiler Room" - 6 builders
3 "The Crossroads" - 17 bashers
4 "Last one out is a rotten egg!" - 2 builders
5 "Pillars of Hercules" - 2 floaters, 9 builders
6 "Pea Soup" - 12 builders
7 "The Fast Food Kitchen..." - 8 builders, 1 basher
8 "Just a Minute..." - 2 bashers, 1 digger
9 "And then there were four...." - 18 builders
10 "No added colours or Lemmings" - 2 climbers, 1 blocker, 1 builder, 1 basher, 2 miners
11 "With a twist of lemming please" - 2 builders, 1 basher
12 "Going up......." - 14 builders, 1 basher
13 "The Steel Mines of Kessel" - 5 builders, 2 miners
14 "Mind the step....." - 20 builders, 9 bashers
15 "Save Me" - 9 walkers, 6 blockers, 9 builders, 1 digger
16 "Rendezvous at the Mountain" - 6 builders

Just a word on Redux.

Manic 18 "The Gate Trap Lemmings" - 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger (I did get a 1-basher replay, but Proxima produced a much tidier one)

Unfortunately, in Proxima's tidier "1 basher" replay, he used 3 bashers. ??? Your replay wasn't apparently included in the bundle. Do you still have this replay by any chance?

BTW I'm in the midst of developing a records thread for Redux. I've been looking at some replays to compile data. This just happens to be one of the errors I observed.

You found a couple of backroutes that needed fixing.

I would be very happy if you could post the replays in the DoveLems topic as well in the future, as then it would be easier to collect them all. :)


EDIT: Just found the plain replays now. Still need to check those for backroutes.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on October 25, 2020, 12:37:47 PM
So, how does this impact results? Changed levels are 3, 5, 8, 11.

All my replays passed except 8, but I was able to re-solve 8 (naturally, since I solved it as intended :P )

I'll assume for now that the fixed levels require every skill, except for one builder on 3 and the extra bombers on 5. Thus:

3 "Impolite Climbers" - 2 climbers, 1 bomber, 8 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger
5 "Avoid the FlameThrower" - 1 bomber, 5 builders, 2 bashers, 1 digger
8 "Break the Wall" - 1 climber, 1 bomber, 1 builder, 1 miner, 1 digger
11 "Every Lem for Himself !" - 1 bomber, 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner, 1 digger

Current standings for 1-16:

Redux results will need updating with the new level "The Boiler Room".

In original Lemmings, it's possible with builders only (using the sliding glitch), but this doesn't work in NeoLemmix. It's still solvable with builders only plus 1 bomber, eliminating other skills.

The bomber seems to be absolutely required, since there are no other destructive skills, and without destruction it's impossible to get a single lemming through the terrain cage around the exit. (NeoLemmix does not have the behaviour where a lemming stuck in terrain can be made to ascend by repeatedly assigning builders.)

That reduces it to a fewest-builders problem, and so far my best result is 10 builders. I believe, however, that this is likely to be improvable.

Redux: Namida asked me to check whether the old result for Lunatic 6 "Which one are you trying to get?" still works, now that the duplicated hatch has been removed.

I confirmed that a 2-builder still exists and all other skills could be eliminated separately. Then I found a 1-builder solution!

This solution depends on no more than 10 lemmings coming from the left trapdoor. On the old version, 8 lemmings dropped from the left trapdoor, 15 from the middle and 7 from the right, so it would have worked.

It does, however, seem to depend on the fact that the terrain placement is not quite identical in the three clusters. But in fact the digger who saves the left group doesn't need to float, so the last floater could be given to the worker lemming for the middle and right groups. This would enable the solution to work even if the terrain clusters were identical.

Plain 18 "Lemming's Brains", reduced builders to 3 (New result: 3 builders)

Some more improvements. Some will probably get patched out - and the more I think about this, the more I'm starting to feel that the fact that this pack is still being actively backroute-patched does make it somewhat unsuitable for challenges... anyway, the improvements for Coward:

Coward 7 "City Machines Lemmings" - Eliminated the climber and reduced to 1 basher (New result: 1 blocker, 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner) - may get patched, old result is +1 climber, +1 basher
Coward 17 "Lost in the Canyon" - As two seperate replays, reduced builders to 7 and miners to 2 (New result: 1 climber, 7 builders, 2 miners)
Coward 19 "Observation Posts" - As two seperate replays, reduced miners to 1 and eliminated the digger (New result: 1 blocker, 5 builders, 2 bashers, 1 miner)
Coward 25 "Academy of Eight" - Eliminated the bomber (New result: 1 of each except bomber, blocker) - will almost certianly get patched, old result is +1 bomber
Coward 30 "A Perfect Symmetry" - Eliminated the climber, reduced to 1 floater; and in a seperate replay, reduced to 2 builders (New result: 1 floater, 2 builders, 2 bashers, 1 digger) - will almost certianly get patched, old result is +1 climber, +1 floater, +1 builder

Breezy 8 "Classic Techniques" - 2 builders (replay attached)
Breezy 9 "Free To A Good Lemming" - none
Breezy 10 "Got Your Eye On A Lemming?" - none (no-builders replay attached)
Breezy 11 "Stones In The Sky" - 4 stoners
Breezy 12 "Gap Buster" - 2 platformers
Breezy 13 "Time To Gap It" - none (no-platformers replay attached)
Breezy 14 "What A Sixy Lemming" - none (diggers-only is a talisman, no diggers is trivial)

Post by: Proxima on November 15, 2020, 04:30:35 PM
Yesterday I went through the topic and compiled (almost) all replays into a zip, which I've attached to the first post. The only ones I removed were my own where they had been superseded by my own later results; I left in ones that had been superseded by other people as the different approaches we took might be of interest to some. I renamed any replays that didn't mention which skills they minimised, which unfortunately means you can't reliably guess which replays are mine and which are namida's from our naming styles.

I will update the zip in the first post regularly, but right now I'm holding off on adding new DoveLems replays as I'm waiting to see whether any of the new batch will lead to changes to the levels :P

14 of 30 levels have a "None" result. It's about time I decided on a fixed cut-off point for this, so I've decided that for the tallies in the opening post, I will use the "All others in [rank] - None" format if the number of Nones is at least 10 or half the rank, whichever is less.

Update to DoveLems results:

Plain 20, Plain 25, Coward 25 and Coward 30 have been updated, so I won't add namida's and Armani's improvements to the OP, and will assume the current records for these levels still stand. Let me know if that's not the case for any level.

Coward 21 was also updated, and now seems to require all skills.

No other levels were updated, so I will assume Icho has decided that improvements for these levels are not backroutes, and new results will be allowed to stand.

We're better at starting packs than finishing them :P so here are the results for PimoLems/Calm, done by me and namida.

Some of these may be considered backroutes or at least unintended, especially Calm 2 no floater / no miner, Calm 5 no builders and Calm 17 no bashers, but since this is an easy rank and most levels are any-way-you-want, I hope these are not going to lead to any changes to the levels.

1 "The Bad Beginning" - None
2 "Training Day" - 1 climber, 1 builder, 1 basher, 1 miner
3 "We Are Lem-Bob-Omb!" - 4 bombers
4 "Emerald Cave" - 4 builders

7 "Lemstones" - 1 floater, 2 builders
8 "Cloud-Covered Stalactite" - 2 bashers
9 "The Strange Relics of Lemnos" - None
10 "It's a Kind Lembourhood" - 7 builders
11 "Minimal Design" - 3 builders
12 "These Ain't No Jedi Swords" - 1 climber, 1 miner, 3 diggers
13 "Lems, Stock, and Barrels" - None
14 "Pagoda St" - 2 builders
15 "Find Your Way Up !" - 3 builders
16 "Don't Look Down !" - 4 builders

18 "Clumps" - 2 blockers, 2 builders

The remainder of Windy and first half of Stormy, solved by me, namida and nin10doadict. There are a lot of levels in this bunch where the result is just "you need all the given skills", but since we started looking at PimoLems, it makes sense to finish the pack:

12 "Break the Ice" - 2 climbers, 2 floaters, 7 builders
13 "Up the Abacus" - 2 builders, 2 bashers

17 "X Marks Nothing" - 1 climber, 1 floater, 3 builders, 1 basher
18 "Underground Water Storage" - 1 basher, 1 miner
19 "Mizmaze" - 1 climber, 1 bomber, 1 builder, 1 basher
20 "Nick of Time !" - 1 climber, 1 floater, 10 builders, 4 bashers

Stormy

1 "Pop'n'top" - 2 climbers, 2 bombers, 1 builder, 2 bashers, 1 miner
2 "Bibbledi-Bobbledi-Boo" - 1 floater, 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 miner
3 "Diamond Ribs" - 2 climbers, 2 floaters, 1 builder, 6 bashers
4 "Rule of Three" - 1 climber, 1 floater, 1 bomber, 9 builders
5 "Timing & Space" - 1 bomber, 3 builders, 1 basher
6 "A Breezy Breeze !" - 1 bomber, 4 builders, 1 basher
7 "Diving Area" - 1 floater, 1 bomber, 1 builder, 3 bashers, 2 diggers
8 "Broad Pit" - 1 climber, 2 floaters, 2 bombers, 1 blocker, 8 builders, 2 bashers, 1 miner
9 "A Matter of Pragmatism" - 1 climber, 3 blockers, 2 bashers, 1 digger
10 "Erbalunga" - 2 builders, 3 bashers, 3 diggers

I've only looked at Windy 10 to 13 since last time, due to the amount of time I spent on 13. (I'll probably continue soon anyway, but taking a break for now.)

We've got here:

Windy 11 "From Pillar to Post" - 2 bombers
Windy 12 "Break The Ice" - 7 builders; No basher; No digger (3 separate replays; the latter two I'm expecting will be patched out)
Windy 13 "Up The Abacus" - 2 builders; 2 bashers (separate replays)

In particular, Windy 13 with 2 builders is one of my most insane challenge replays of all time.

Redux / Lunatic 12, eliminated the basher.

EDIT: And my 9 skills replay for Lunatic 13, eliminates one additional builder. EDIT: And then a variation on it eliminates the basher, too.

Post by: Proxima on December 04, 2020, 09:48:36 AM
Since we have so many packs in progress at once, I'm making a note to myself to remind myself of which levels I want to have another look at.

* SubLems: Sweet 18 has no result yet and is the only level remaining in this rank.
* MiniLems: Need to look over everything from Taxing 7 onwards. (Minim says Taxing 11 and 16 in particular should be looked at.)
* Lemminas: Pandemonium 13 hasn't been looked at for builders in particular.

Also, an addendum to the Casualemmings results above: Calm 40 needs 2 bombers, not 3.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on December 04, 2020, 11:21:17 AM
My best result for Pandemonium 13 is 6 builders (as well as the 2 bashers).

I've solved Pandemonium 1 and agree that it requires all the skills. Since I've now looked at all the levels WillLem and Minim did without me, I'm happy to call these the final results -- until someone finds another improvement ;P
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on December 04, 2020, 11:28:42 PM
My 5-skill solution to Lunatic 25 eliminates the bomber.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Proxima on December 05, 2020, 03:25:02 AM
I finished PimoLems/Stormy. As far as I can see, levels 11-15, 17 and 20 require all the given skills.

16 obviously needs only one floater, and no bombers (since it requires 100%); I was able to save a basher, but I don't think the destructive skills can be rearranged to save something else instead.

19 requires 11 bombers and everything else. 18 is the only one in this group with a surprising result: 2 blockers, 8 builders, 1 basher, 2 diggers. (The attached replay uses two bashers, but one could obviously be switched with a bomber.)

I might hold off on adding Stormy results to the OP, to see whether Icho decides to fix any levels in this rank.
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: namida on December 05, 2020, 05:56:02 PM
Some more PimoLems replays from yesterday. The Stormy 16 1 Miner, can also very easily be adapted into a no-digger.

NL results for Amiga 2-player levels. Obviously, these have major gameplay differences when trying to play them in 1-player mode; some levels have the "other player's" exit right by each trapdoor and can be solved with no skills at all :P Also, these levels give a lot of skills and the destructive skills are largely interchangeable, so nearly all levels have a "None" result or only require as many builders as are necessary to cross whatever gaps exist. Still, the levels exist so they have to be SYCLWed!

1 "There can be only one" - 1 builder
5 "Good game! Good game!" - 3 builders
7 "and the winner is....." - 2 builders
14 "The Passing Place" - 6 builders*
15 "Take what you can, when you can" - 5 builders
17 "Graffiti" - 2 builders
19 "May the craftiest player win" - 1 floater, 7 builders
20 "We're in this one together" - 11 builders
21 "Battle at Midway" - 10 builders*
All others: None

* I believe these two can be improved, by 2 in each case, but haven't confirmed this yet.

We started on the NES levels, but when it came to Mayhem, there are a couple of points where I'm really not sure of how the level behaves on the actual NES version, and I want to wait until I actually get that far in my playthrough of the NES version before making decisions about how the conversions should be. So, these are (probably) final results for the first three ranks, but we'll leave challenges on NES Mayhem until the conversions are finished.

Fun

1 "We All Fall Down" - None (the NES version of this level gives 14 of everything!)
2 "Origins And Lemmings" - None
3 "Danger The Bridge Is Out" - 2 builders
4 "Do Not Do Anything Too Hasty" - 7 builders
5 "Lemmings Lemmings Everywhere" - None
6 "Lemming And Lime" - 2 builders

Tricky

1 "A Bag Of Lemming Drops" - None
2 "Lemming I Scream" - 1 floater, 5 builders
3 "Iced Lemming" - 1 climber, 6 builders
4 "The Crankshaft" - None
5 "Lemming Good Fun" - 1 blocker, 10 builders

Taxing

1 "Roman In The Ruins" - 2 builders, 1 basher
2 "Up The Wooden Hill" - 7 builders
3 "A Spot of Bother" - None
4 "On The Spiders Web" - 1 builder
5 "Just Drop In" - 2 diggers
6 "Arctic Lemmings" - 9 builders
7 "Come To Lemming County" - 1 bomber

The new version of "Quest for Kieran" requires only 1 builder, and no other skills.

Redux/Quirky 24 "Lunch Time", climber and digger eliminated thanks to a speedrun strategy Gronkling shared on Discord.

I suspect I can get this down to 1 blocker, too, but it's going to be a hassle so I haven't pulled it off yet. I may also further be able to, if I pull this off, get a 3-builder from it.

Earlier Proxima had just update the thread to confirm that Lunatic 4 can be done without climbers (Thanks to Crane for the solution). The replay can be found here. (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=5200.msg90787#msg90787)

Could this be doable on DOS as well?
Title: Re: [NeoLemmix] Skills you can't live without
Post by: Minim on March 05, 2021, 09:04:28 PM
Right. Because Lemmings Redux has gone through a final update I downloaded all the replays again and have gone through the Mass replay checker to check their solvability. These are the following levels that came up as either "Failed, Undetermined or Level Not Found".

Gentle 32: 0 climbers & 0 floaters
Lunatic 17: 0 climbers, 5 builders & 0 bashers
Manic 18: 1 basher
Gentle 23: 5 builders
Lunatic 22: 4 bashers & 0 diggers
Quirky 12: 2 bashers

The Gentle 23 solution was probably an oversight, as I think the user pressed the replay save button before bombing the blocker holding the pack. :D

The update has affected Lunatic 17's 5-builder solution. I was unable to match that and could only get it in 6 builders. Fortunately I succeeded with the rest of them. Replays of all fixed solutions attached to the zip file.
