Background material which isn't needed to solve the puzzle



A puzzle file for the tool mentioned above



The puzzle score formula which solvers are aiming to minimize e.g. cycles, symbols, cycles + 100 * bonders used



The maximum tournament score available for this puzzle (rounds 1-12). More time consuming puzzle score more.



Special instructions

Solution file from SpaceChemTool



An indication of whether you expect it to be your final solution (I intend to prepare as much as possible of the results before the deadline for each round)

It must be submitted before the deadline



It must not exploit clearly unintended behaviour of SpaceChem however it may make use of reasonable but undefined behaviour when the red and blue waldos issue commands that interact (see the Tournament Guide for more information)



For round 13 the solver must have a tournament score in the top 8



For round 14 the solver must have placed in the top 4 in round 13



For round 15 the solver must have placed in the top 2 in round 14

Welcome to the 2015 SpaceChem Tournament thread.The tournament consists of 15 week long rounds starting at 18:00 UTC on Monday 22nd June 2015.Submission of solutions and publication of the complete set of solutions is done via SpaceChemTool. It can be found here along with the puzzles and solutions. The Tournament Guide contains a section on using the tool.Shortly after the start of each round I'll post the puzzle or puzzles for that round and shortly after the end of each round I'll post the results and solutions (video, report and save file containing all solutions)For each puzzle I'll provide:Where puzzle use random inputs, solutions must work with all possible input patterns - please play around with the input proportions to check your solution works with several different patterns. When random inputs are used the puzzle score formula will not include cycles.Solutions should be sent to spagchem@gmail.com and should consist of:To be a scoring solution:Interesting non-scoring solutions will be included in the results so please submit any you discover.Solutions for rounds 1-12 give a tournament score to qualify for round 13: tournament score for puzzle = max tournament score for puzzle * min puzzle score / solver's puzzle score.Rounds:Standings after round 12:
