Is it possible to have an exposed pin below the top layer?

[pallid wharf]

I saw this shape as the symbol for one of my operator levels, and I can't think of a way that this could be created in-game.

I thought of crystals breaking above the pin, but I can't think of a way to get those crystals there

are you familiar with overhangs and how shape quads will fall if not supported from the side?

hint: ||pins cannot overhang, as they are not connected from the side||

some of the operator shapes are impossible, btw
but this one is possible (without crystals)

[pallid wharf]

Ohhhhhhh, so stacking a {Cr----P-:------P-:------P-} with {P-----P-:Ru----Ru} would give that quadrant

I did see that the old way of making floating layers didn't work, but never actually investigated that mechanic

[fiery bolt]

i think that would technically work, though a different process would be creating
{CrRrRrCr:--CwCwCw:--CyCyCy:P-----P-:Ru----Ru}

[fiery bolt]

{CrRrRrCr:--CwCwCw:--CyCyCy:P-----P-:Ru----Ru+lsep}

[fiery bolt]

see what i mean?

[pallid wharf]

Yep, I get it

I've only done the normal scenario, I wonder if that's required in the harder ones

[fiery bolt]

this is required for some normal scenario tasks if im not mistaken

but yes the harder scenarios get much harder

this makes the rectangle pieces fall off?

[inland heron]

not like this, only on the 4th layer in normal

[fiery bolt]

both rectangle pieces are deleted by the layer limit, leaving only the pins on layer 4

the topright pin then falls because it cannot overhang
