I'm just not having fun anymore with this room.

I understand (I think) the gimmick of the room - transform 3124 order onto 4312 order with one change of mirror position.
I am unable to do so though, I can do either setup just fine but I am nowhere close to making the second setup from it with just one mirror.

If it's only a matter of me missing proper setup, I'd appreciate full solution with fuse placement.
If my above reasoning is incorrect/incomplete - I'd use a hint at this point.

There's an extra trick, though it's not strictly necessary.

Oh, that's interesting. Didn't think about it but it allows for some clever ideas.

You say it's not strictly necessary, so you can complete room without this trick?

I built the room with the trick in mind, but it turned out to be possible without it. I don't remember the details there, just that it was possible.

Unfortunately even with the trick in mind I cannot find a solution.
I tried bunch of different configurations but none of them helped in any way or were possible in the end.

I'd appreciate someone sharing fuse placement since I am stuck for hours and cannot even backtrack to other levels to get a break.

I've confirmed that the solution I sent you in discord, for the old version of the room, still works but screenshot 1 must be rotated 180 degrees to account for the desired bomb order in the new version.

In case it's not clear:

Thanks for help!
Turned out I was so lost because I misunderstood core of temporal clone mechanics..

I don't know why but I assumed the moment I touch temporal token, I become temporal clone and thus I cannot use special commands anymore.
So I tried to make one fuse setup for both scenarios..

Thanks for the opportunity to rebuild some basic perception of DROD rules in my mind :)

DROD crashes when I'm viewing the top demo for this room. (Linux, 5.1.0.6513)

Can anyone on 5.1.1 check whether it crashes for them too? (If not, I don't need to open a bug thread)

Mac DROD 5.1.1.740 doesn't crash. We sorely need a new Linux build.
