For some reason I only rank well on the "Area" parameter, even though I never optimize, they just come out that way.

I have not used track enough. So far only twice, the first time it teaches you and another one I can't remember now. I'm still at chapter 1(the one after the tutorial).

I went full autism on this one because I didn't even see it gives me 3 reagent until I finished it. So far I'm just learning stuff, for example, in this stage I learned how you could keep bonding reagents since I thought you could only do it up to 4(the gliph of multi-bonding only has space for four reagents). So that is cool. After I finish it I'll go back to try to go low cycle as possible.

Damn, that is so cool.

As I said, I always, unwillingly, intrinsically optimize for Area. And mine's 30, while yours is nearly twice that.

I wonder if that's some leftover Spacechem thing where I always ran out of space and had to think as compact as possible?

But less than half cycles and cost.
I usually try to keep things compact, but that usually just means avoiding dead space between components. Swinging out a product or unused part of rotor can add a lot of area but feels better than just having a small bunch of long arms swinging stuff back and forth across several screens of sparse components.

Incremental upgrade:

 

[HansDampf]

You are working on a hex field, and rotation is the cheapest and fastest method to move molecules along even large distances. Using only tracks and piston arms feels unnatural.

The absolutely best, most way to transmute iron salt into a copper salt.

 

[Viata]

Breaking the bond and them bonding it again was a really cool idea there.

Meanwhile my head hurts from trying to bond the sword alloy.

I couldn't help but notice: is there are a reason why you don't have transparency enabled for magic spells? I presume your fog of war isn't transparent either and looks pixelated instead.
I ask because I had issues with my own trying to run that graphics option, with the game's graphics being bugged.

I don't remember enabling that option or any other. Maybe it looks pixelated because I used Fraps to take the screenshot or it's because the resolution is 640x480.

are there any games like this for mobile?
wouldn't mind a fun puzzle game for when I have 10 mins

You can spend HOURS staring at a fucking problem in Zachtronics games, and not being able to solve it. Maybe you need just one more instruction but there isn't room for one, maybe you need just one more variable, but there's nowhere to store it... And then, you get those moments of absolutely pure brilliance and you solve a stupidly complex puzzle with best solution (at least in one area) on your first try. There's lots of fighting your own OCD, when something seemed simple, you solved it, but then you see that your solution is order of magnitude worse than typical one.

For a vaguely zach-like game on android, there's Human Resource Machine. It's like a simple version of TIS-100. Specechem is also on android, and it's free, you need to dl form their website and sideload the apk: http://store.zachtronicsindustries.com/spacechem/. No idea why it's not in the store anymore.

Heh, maybe for some peabrain like DraQ but I doubt I'll have any trouble..

Best of luck playing Spacechem, the most monocled of all Zach games to this day still, on mobile, while you're on the John.

AFAIK the android version is stripped down somewhat (no story and no boss battles).
