    The question you need to ask you is : who are the guardians and what they are trying to defend... ;)

    Haha, thanks! I guess I'll have to go play the original Guardians again and look at it in depth!
    (By the way, I hope the answer doesn't have anything to do with the duplicants at the end. I really don't want to attempt to built a drone that small!)

    You can think that the worms/replicants are like the guardians. But what are they protecting ?
    What's the story behind Warpzone pack ? Eheheh too much question I will never answer you ! Ahah :)

    Should have been, thought it was the replicants. But no, and I don't get what they are guarding...

    I start to feel that all the storytelling I've worked on is just invisible... useless for players :p

    But if they are the guardians it means the clones are the enemy? Or are they guarding female clones kidnapped?

    @Vicvic91 :
    EX MACHINA from @ZEARTYSHOW
    Just awesome.
    Isn't it, badlanders ?

    Edit : Aha ! Just saw the copying alert for Ex Machina in Zeartyshow's thread. I'm soooooo late again !

    Perhaps I'm too tired, but I don't see what was copied. Powerrunner accuses Slaye to have copied
    "
    - Your (Frogmind's) smasher from Final Frontier
    - Voltiac' navigational direction arrow from Dreadstorm "
    into Geometric and wonders why it made Eternal Day.

    Which smasher does he mean? Dictionary: "a ... device that breaks something up".
    In case of Final Frontier I think of the row of such things near the end, but these things have been used in countless levels, why copy from there?
    And a navigational direction arrow, what is that? Can someone point out minute:seconds in the play throughs below?

    Final Frontier

    Dreadstorm

    Geometric

    I can go on and on and say that the pistons with a curved edge at the very start of Geometric is copied from my own level Hexangonal.

    But I never found copying of certain contraptions from other levels to be offending. In fact, for most level creators who don't have the creativity like @Vâ­•LTIAC, I think copying is fine if they reuse it for another purpose / obstacle.

    As you said, I can't find all these copied things in Geometric too.
    For Smuggler level, I used a contraption from "Evil" in Doomsday. The smashing hammers at the very start. Do I mistake ?
    Imagine I copy a Magnetar bot (in Motherside), and reuse it in a totally different level. Does this one could feature in ED ? Without offending ?

    Oooh ! I feel the "copying" debate is coming back, with a new chapter : contraptions !

    Just to say something.
    I don't want to hunt the copiers 10x each time I will spotlight a new level.

    Next ED level is maybe a copied level, for sure it has few contraptions you could recognize.
    But first of all it's a level I have fun to play and play again, from a new level creator, and I'm sure you will like it too.

    I don't see how this would be possible without doubling your working time, rather more. Simply not doable. We can look into it if there are well-founded hints from someone, didn't seem to be the case here, that was the point of my questions.

    I agree with FBI Light Rock that copying contraptions is okay. For more complicated ones I'd prefer that credit is given. Magnetar's robot is such a case, but I think a level which used it would be okay on ED if the credit is there.
