Custom level pack - Babasynthesis

[Potatosynthesis]

Important: As of version 412, the behaviour of REVERT has been changed and it made level 1 and level 18 unsolvable.
——————
I worked on this pack for around 2 weeks, and it is finally complete.

This custom level pack focuses on editor-exclusive words. It contains 27 numbered levels, 9 extras and secrets.

The pack is divided into several sections, and the first sections is mainly tutorials. In some levels (especially early ones), you may not be able to modify any rules. These levels are mainly introductions, puzzles, or for fun.

It is recommended that players complete the true ending of Baba is You before playing this level pack.

Download link[github.com] (Current version: 3.0.4)

To play:
Download Babasynthesis.zip from the releases. Unzip and extract it inside the Worlds folder of your Baba Is You local files. Currently you have to be in beta to be able to play custom level packs. Please do not look at the level pack inside Baba Is You's level editor since it will give heavy spoilers.
To update:
Delete your old Babasynthesis folder within Worlds. Then repeat the download process.


Feel free to share it if you find the pack fun. Though you should not modify and redistribute it without notifying me.

Awesome! Will definitely give it a try.

Edit: Managed to finish levels 1-9 plus the extras, a little in each section and opened the gate. A lot of the levels make good use of the more advanced words.
Some notes:
* I finished extra 2 by creating text & lava(then lava to text) with the water
* I removed the overworld baba after finishing Babasynthesis. It's an early levelpack win but I'm pretty sure I locked myself out of further levels.

Great I will definitely check it out.

Mind elaborating your solution to extra 2? As long as it involves text stacking and uses REVERT, it should be fine.

And about the disappearing of a certain something - it’s bad graphics. It’s a level with baba icon, not an actual baba. The level has black border and seems to completely blend into the background after you have finished it.

Maybe do some experiments and mess around with REVERT?


I’ll make a visual update to the main map addressing the vanishing level, along with some visual changes and a very minor repathing on the volcano side.
Edit: Update out. Those who have already downloaded the pack before can simply download the new 1level.l and 1level.ld into your Worlds folder. The change is minimal so it should work fine with existing save data.

1. Push the closest WATER text down so that the water doesn't revert to text
2. Make WATER IS TEXT and WATER IS LAVA at the same exact time
3. Push the WATER text off the lava
4. Make LAVA IS TEXT
5. Push all 10 texts past keke to make FLAG IS WIN and win the level.

Whoops, that’s definitely an alternate solution.

Edit: Extra 2 should have had 1 IS instead of 2 IS. This blocks the alternate solution and also makes it slightly harder.

I must be extremely dumb or something because levels 10, 21, 24 and 26 completely stump me.

10 is a puzzle level. It shouldn't be too hard.
21 should be harder than 24. 24 just contains a special gimmick.
26 cannot be solved with your current progress. It is called Heaven's Gate for a reason.

I don't think you are dumb if you can solve 22 and 23. These two are on the trickier side. I'd also like to know your solution to 23 since I can't make sure that my solution is the only one.

[Azaech]

I can tell you, after you help me dammit. ;p
Level 10 doesn't seem hard sure, but it's because you know the answer, I'm always a piece short personnally, even more than that, since I can't go in the middle as fofo.
And I tried a lot of things for 24, nothing worked, even if I understand what I should do, I never succeed to put it into practice.

And for 21, I don't even know how and where to begin. xD

Frankly, 22 and 23 were easy for me. I found level 17 and 19 way more difficult. That said, my brain is weird sometimes in puzzle games. xD

There aren't too much hints to give for 10. Just make sure you are giving the rocks a good use. This sounds like the problem if you are 1 piece short.

24 looks messy but the solution is far simpler than you've thought, and you’ll mostly likely see 24 differently once you’ve seen 25.

21 shares some similarity with extra 4 (which is locked beyond level 10). Though extra 4 is way harder.

Version 1.1 out:
Added pack icon.
Removed an alternate solution of extra 2.
Fixed extra 8 and extra 9. (Both contained the mistake that NOT PUSH AND NOT PULL became NOT PUSH AND NOT PUSH.)
Version 1.1.1:
Removed an alternate solution of level 23.

I don't think anyone has reached extra 8 and 9 yet, but the broken versions were very easy to solve. (especially extra 9)
To update: Just overwrite the levels in the Worlds folder. (Or just delete the old levels.) Existing save data will be fine.

Level 10 solved, but now I'm stuck in level 16. xD (also 14, but that one doesn't seem to hide other levels, so it's not that annoying that I can't solve it yet)
And you know what ? I won't be petty anymore and keep secret what you want.... even if you're not really helping. ;p (Hints please dammit for 16 now, 21 and 24 xD)

In level 23, I simply create "not hand is safe" making the hand sticking to one fire like a moth to a lamp, giving me all the time in the world to make "baba eat hand" and then making hand is not safe is easy and I can destroy the hand with 2 fire still there. I don't use the "all is back" at all. Not sure what it does really.

Yes, that’s what I thought. 23 contains an alternate solution. I really need to test my levels more.

16: What does mimic do? What does FOFO MIMIC IT mean? Use the pause screen’s rule list to figure out.

21: If you walk around and bump into the wrong thing, you’ll encounter an infinite loop. Why does this infinite loop happen?

24: 1 cash is not enough to send the rocket flying.



I still want to gather some feedback (from anyone who have played) on 15 and extras 4-7. Though in my opinion extra 4 and extra 7 are the hardest levels in the pack (my ranking is 4>7>8=9>5>2>6>3), so you have to be really good to solve them.
