Can some one help me? I'm not good at transporters + Brr.

I've been at this one for days. Managed to get all but one across one time but the last one is evading me. I've been trying to make a sort of diagonal line down from the left but I must have something wrong coz it's not working right.

I sounds like you're sort of on the right track, popo. Combined with a little Brrr and the little island in the SW you should be able to do it.
Best,
Mette

Level solved but with 1 brr too less, therfore without the gems and coins.
big hint ???:
I had used one brr to the upper lefthand side where the ground is missing. This is like walking around a lake many times....
Not sure if i can save one further brr with this method to get also the gems and coins. I will rethink about this.
Mette,
is this the correct way or I'm totally wrong?

Your approach (assuming I've interpreted it correctly) does work, and I actually got through this level considerably quicker than many of the others, I just put it off longer as I find transporters a nightmare!
A hint (my first in quotes - apologies if it doesn't work the way it is previewing ...):
It's about which wee stinkers you take across in what order, and at what point you yourself can leave the main island.
I can point you at which stinkers I did last if it's needed and helps.
Now, to tackle those four remaining levels before moving on ... oh yeah, all but one has the dreaded transporters!

It's impossible to say what's the correct way since more ways exists. The way I do it is
spoiler wrote:Put a Brrr in the path of the leftmost up-down transporter at the very top. Put another Brrr so the left-right transporter gets blocked just below the first one. Combined with the small island/outcrop from the mainland at SW only 1 Brrr is needed pr. wee stinker from the mainland. if they use the left-right transporter.
The wee stinker on the middle island needs to be gone before tackling the one on the right island.
Best,
Mette

I didn't solve this level with the coins and gems, but I think I know how to do it now. Here's a big hint:
With only 2 Brrs, you can get every wee stinker from the mainland onto the other side.

Me too.

Here's what you do:
Get to the position below without transporter 1 being where it is. Then, guide a wee stinker onto T2, and ride T1. Get the wee stinker off T2, ride T2, and T1. Repeat until all wee stinkers are over.

How do you get those two off the islands then? Have you actually done it this way or are you just speculating?

Maybe mqdar has found a way just to "beem / teleport" these 2 wees to
the upper island without using any furhter "Brr". Just another mystery in the MOFI?
Anyway is there no way in this board that pictures can be hidden if you are logged in?

No, you definately need more Brrs.
I think that you will need 5 more Brrs to get the two wee stinkers on the small islands to the other side.

I just replayed the level with your method and it works pretty well:
2 additional Brrs is enough for the 2 wee stinkers on the small island, basically to make the transporter stop near each island rather than all the way to the right. Of course, picking the correct 2 places for the transporter to stop is critical. Try it out and you'll see how things work out.

Not really, but if you noticed, on the topic board, there is a paper clip before the title. Look for that and you can prepare yourself before you go look.

Just can't follow who is going on to which transporter.
I think I need a step by step guidance please as to if it is big stinker or little one and where they are supposed to be going.
I just keep getting the little ones going round in circles trying to get transporters into position, so am going nowhere fast.
Help the aged PLEASE!

Got a video done. The file is 19MB, sorry. And everything is jerky, but that's how it is on my laptop when the video program is running at the same time as MOFI.

After hours of trying, managed to do it, but don't ask me how.
I am determined to do a level 'properly', but wish they could be solved a little quicker.
