For Troubled Waters (xonogod): dygebov. I found the same key as Werbad and jnz. imageWhen I first opened this puzzle, it looked like it would require an extremely complicated machine. This is a fun puzzle because it has an interesting meta-puzzle that you have to solve before you begin on the implementation of a solution.

I just noticed the "kicker" at the bottom of Werbad's bydakip. That's a useful device to know imageto trim off a horizontal tick.

For Full Speed (divosyb): gahagag. I struggled with this puzzle for some time, before I discovered the secret key. imageWerbad and jnz use the same basic trick, which I simplify a bit -- note there is no conveyor for the barrels in my solution yet somehow the full crate stream is pushed right. Strange, isn't it?

Nice solutions jf! Your Full Speed solution looks a little weird at first, but looking closely you see that imagethe barrels and the dozers merge into a temporary full stream successfully reproducing the full stream of crates
The "kicker" device is actually something I borrowed from one of Timbo's solutions earlier in this thread.

Made a new puzzle: Fragments dugohok

That's pretty neat -- imagethe conveyors can be raised up to a single line at the level of the furnace and it works fine.

For Fragments (dugohok): jozetek -- another fun puzzle.

For Fragments (dugohok): hadorat
Why are furnace forbidden in that level? I would use them at 3 points in this level.

jf, your solution jozetek doesn't work when all random barrels are bigger than 7.
The needed 0 crate isn't insert in the machine.
But that is easily corrected, by deleting on of the 0 barrels at the first adder

Nice solutions!
There isn't really a reason why I removed furnaces...

My solution: bipyxib

Pretty similar to Timbo's solution except that I use Dozers to move the crate stream.

Nice Work!
My solution: lofohyr
imageI used a full speed crate checker in my solution, but the lookup table seems pretty similar.

And a New Puzzle:
Shuffle rebexer
This puzzle is just the result of my many attempts to make a shuffler device

I'm sure there's a much simpler solution but

for rebexor : gabigob

The removal of the copiers made it.. interestingly difficult Smiley

Okay, think of a number. Now, scratch that number and think of 0. You're thinking of zero, right? FrEaKy

Interesting solution.
My solution (butygil) is completely different.

It's always fun to see people finding unique solutions that I didn't think of when I made the puzzle.

Edit:
Since nobody has posted any solution to these level I'm posting mine:
For Streams '3' (kacupev): siduxyg (takes a while to initialize...)
For Collection 2 v2 (dogadov): legozir

For Cubicle: kypigap. I see I went in the other direction than the other solutions.

For Shuffle: rupatyr. I reworked an older solution of mine (gecyvag) to solve this one.

Full Speed: I had a solution that would work if there were movable furnaces in rubicon. D'oh!
The solution is 'cocyhuc' (open in my rubicon version - see http://kevan.org/rubicon/forums/index.php/topic,308.new.html)
Fragments: jebibud - werre the furnaces disallowed so as to prevent any kind of compact full-speed draw, by the way?

The feed of jebibud is too slow and will not solve if all crates are filtered. And there was no real reason why I removed the furnaces...

Edit:
New Puzzle:
Morse Code hobegip
