i found a very stupid solution for the puzzle ''Colourful confusion'' where you place most of the connectors on the wooden pillars. Normally you shouldn't be able to get on the pillars but with an easy item boost you can get on the pillars

in the puzzle ''colour palette'' i found a bug where your connector can be placed underground for some reason

Download link for additional laser colors is renewed

Ouch my head. You didn't make a puzzle... you made a mess

Hey XanTier, I think I need advice, please. How did you import the custom laser colors in the editor? I tried to contact Solais, the original developer, but I didn't hear back. There was supposedly meant to be a test map accessible through the thing, but there is none.

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I figured as much as I went back and solved it without taking advantage of that glitch. Being able to bring tools through boundaries does happen a few times but you shouldn't feel you need to make excuses. It's a fun campaign, you obviously put a lot of work into it. Can't wait to get to part 2.

Hi, I hope you are enjoying my campaign.

No, that is not intended and similar things can be found throughout the campaign since this is not a work of a professional

I am now playing through this campaign for the very first time and I might have found a bug.

Spoilers, in case this was intentional:
In the puzzle titled Drawn Inspiration in world 3 there is a gap between one of the purple fields and the geometry next to it. While it still knocks the connectors out of your hand when passing through it, you can simply pick them up from the other side of the gap and take them through the door that way. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it surely made the puzzle blatantly trivial, including the star in there. If this is, indeed, as you designed it, I'll delete this comment.

Great work, by the way! I am enjoying it, even though some of the puzzles infuriate me to no end... :D

I subscribed to both this and Abomination 2, but both of them give me a "failure to load map" error after the intro sequence.

This mod is made for me

didn't even find out how to enter worlds. Putting the box on the buttons does nothing. Why don't you let us enter the levels normally without this bullshit?

dostum cok ugrasilmis ve harika olmus ancak sinir hastasi ediyor insani, her sey ucu ucuna denk geliyor, hic bir opsiyon yok ve bazi seylerin sansina gelmesi lazim, ufacik bir hata veya dikkatsizlik butun ugraslari yok ediyor ve acayip cok zor, oynayabildigim kadar cok oynadim ama bir kac tane muhur haric hic birini alamadim. yuzde doksanina erisemedim bile. eline saglik. umarim cok vaktim oldugunda bir daha bakarim.

After finishing the campaign, i can say that i enjoyed it (aside from frustration in love story from constant failure that i had to cheese it.)
Really enjoyed some of the puzzles, especially ones in world 1 and the hub star.
Also related to that cheese, note no. 18 after solving last puzzle is funny considering how I never let them die.
Also personally, Conjoined puzzle are pretty neat. Liked them.

Hey man, I'd like to report a catastrophic cheese in level "love story", you can find the screenshot of the setup here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023634187

basically, if you jump right with this setup, jumping correctly lets you escape detection of the turrets, then you don't need to complete puzzle relating with the green mine. Thus never letting lovers reunite.

This setup is a modified original which let me collect the star.

Make sure you have this installed.

Your mod is broken it says "can't load energy_reciever_yellow" or something on both 1 and 2

Not sure if thread is still active, but I have a question about Tutorial. Basically, I keep dying. I cannot jump off the mine toward the end of the level. In the video, it seems like you had about a second to react. The mine kills me instantly every time. What am I doing wrong?

One other criticism--maybe cool it a bit with the laser colors. I imagine this is a real hassle for colorblind people. I am not colorblind, and I still had a bit of trouble at times telling which blue or green to use. Maybe try to stick to red and blue if a particular puzzle is entirely self-contained and only uses two receiver colors.

OK, so I finished this today. I initially thought based on puzzles like First Ever Puzzle and Try Harder that the whole campaign might be huge puzzles that are a bit trolly. But that's not how it ended up going--a lot of puzzles were pretty quick to solve, with some of the recorder puzzles being weirdly so (why are there so many ways to solve the Island puzzles?). Also, I'm not a fan of having puzzles locked behind other puzzles in mod campaigns, and Abomination is one of the worst offenders out there in this regard. Even the main hub is a series of connector puzzles (along with one of the best recorder puzzles in the campaign, to its credit).

I did like the attempt at an in-game story with the two mines (although I cheesed the level itself with the item duplication glitch because it was a more frustrating version of Bridge Collapse from Outfall, and I got tired of failing). Overall, the most satisfying puzzle ended up being Experimental, mentioned yesterday--very original and fun.

I just started playing this this week, and I'm not done yet (just got to world 4 today), but I just want to say for now that Experimental was a really cool puzzle.

@ma.hirsch Nicely done. I added the link to the description now

@XanTier @lapicidas:
Here is the new link to the solutions:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAUNdmR-taTeBhv7-C9Q-vOZJlRxijaCI

Everything ready.
The videos are created with the author's latest update,
therefore up to date.

@ma.hirsch....okay, but then I'll wait until you upload the first videos. After that I'll post alternative solutions, so that not twice the same is there (if there are alternative solutions).

@lapicidas:
Can you do.
I'm on it and there's nothing wrong
when there are multiple solutions.

@ma.hirsch, @SP....if you want I would record some walkthroughs. Any special wishes?

@SP:
Starworld, World 3/4 and Love Story only.
The rest came from barrymead and must again
to be filmed.

@ma.hirsch Ah - I thought you might have them saved. Sounds like too much trouble.

@SP:
Maybe I'll film the solutions again
and upload them to my channel.
That might take a while.

@ma.hirsch:

Any chance of putting them back up somewhere?

@XanTier:
No. That was not me.
barrymead has closed his YouTube channel.
No idea why.

Amazing campaign! Really cool puzzles, no weird tricks and even the recorder puzzles are enjoyable. I can't thank you enough for creating this glorious campaign :)

@SP Probably @ma.hirsch removed the videos from the channel

why did the solution videos disappear?

could be though..that i'll get more connectors if i complete the "inside" world puzzles (haven't touched any of them yet)

to solve the main island..is it right that we only have 3 connectors and 1 box to move around with? and the two fixed connectors near the sides of the world 2 structure..
- i can't seem to find a way to make all the connections even when doubling the amount of connectors during time loop

I'm around but unfortunately I have no access to my computer for 2 more months, so I can't fix it, sorry

@XanTi͢͢͢er꧂ Not sure if you're around, but I posted a problem in the Discussions (the fences still seem to be blocking use of jammer from tower).

Solutions are wrong, cos in World 2 on 4:28 mine kills me

I'm glad you all liked Abomination

This campaign is excellent! I really enjoyed all of it, though it really stretched my brain on many of the puzzles. It felt like quite an accomplishment to finish it without any help at all. Many of the puzzles are quite difficult, but no weird tricks are required. I spent many happy hours on it, and I'm excited to try Abomination 2 now!

If you get the "cannot load file" error, then you are probably missing the Laser Colors mod -- "- Additional Laser Colors by Solais. -- Download here [yadi.sk]
(Put the .gro file you downloaded in "...\steamapps\common\The Talos Principle\Content\Talos")" is identified as a requirement above.

I get the "cannot load file" error, too. I can't get the mod to start.

Well, at first I wasn't sure what to think of Abomination because I got trapped on First Puzzle about 10 times and had to reset. The first few were irritating but once I got to world 2 things got better and the puzzles started feeling more polished. World 3 was by far the best puzzles and environment. All of the puzzles on that level were enjoyable and felt like I found an intended solution. World 4 however I pretty much found unintended solutions on all of the puzzles. Recorder puzzles are always annoying, but with some ingenuity I beat the whole campaign with very little recorder use. Island 1, the tower, colour palette, and the last bridge puzzle don't even need the recorder at all. Love story doesn't need the platform, but it does make the puzzle a little bit less annoying. I'm not sure what tutorial was supposed to teach. Anyway, I was able to solve everything without walkthrough assistance, and I enjoyed the overall experience. But please add more ladders to First Puzzle.

I'm pretty sure this was not the correct way to get the world 1 star: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1735549825488484768/348B934E9FA34047FF12E9D8E5714E9B8588CDEE/

secondly I think world Ruins might be broken, at least on my machine

On ruins 2 it is not necessary to build a bridge from those boxes, just drop to the fan and move right to get to other side, switch fans and free the mine so it other fan blows it happily to the other side. Maybe physics engine is not reliable enough..
On ruins 1 those stairs are slightly too low perhaps. It is not possible to do what is done in Barrys video at 5:53, mine already starts beeping and exploding. (had to look at that as this started to feel overly hand with lot of keyboard dexterity or so, which have not been needed style in this campaing)

OK now I am stuck to trying to figure out how to start 'love story'
I can jam one or other of turrets from the tower, but cant figure out or find any box to smuggle in or any other clue whats next. Also I have noticed as I have entered this world several times that sometimes those two mines are stationary and sometimes 'kissing' ei bouncing to each other. hint is appreciated at the moment.

Glad you liked :)
No, only the mine at the end is moving, others are stationary

@XanTier this is so darn great! Nice capturing athmosphere and some real thinking involved =).. If you care about minor graphical glitches there are some floating/flying trees near Color Confusion..
Now I am wondering should those annoying exploding spheres in Tutorial be moving around?

No, you can ignore QR names

@niin Unfortunately that's how the game is, frames sizes will remain same regardless of the height of the plasma wall. And yeah, it fades out so you can't see where the wall ends. Could be tweaked but I didn't change the base game setting since never I felt the need to change
