All of the solutions I used for each level in this chapter can be found below in screenshots, along with a short bit of info for each one. I have provided commands in text below each screenshot, where applicable. After the screenshots is a video guide that may offer different solutions for each level. Full credit to its creator.
5-1: Crossing Rivers
5-2: Pylon Power
5-3: Car Trouble
5-4: Karma
5-5: Entry Fee
For the top piece, it is critical that the walking part starts a bit below the platform the people are on, so they have to drop a bit, as this slows them down enough for it to fall to the other side before they reach the end of the platform. For the bottom, it was an absolute pain. Try to replicate it as close as possible.
5-6: The MOWA
The explosions in the middle were continually destroying the ramps leading up to the center, which is why both aren't touching the middle area.
5-7: Entrenched
Apparently the game intended you to use those barrels in the middle to kill the guys on the far right, but I just threw a grenade over there.
5-8: The Way Things Go
Everything here is pretty simple aside from that "scooper" at the top. That's the hardest part, since it needs to pick up the cylinder and then break to launch it. A zoomed in picture is below.
I found it to be absolutely critical to make it all out of steel except that single piece of wood. That wood is the weak point that allows it to break and launch the cylnder mid air.
As noted in the roadmap and other achievement solutions, below is a video guide showing solutions to all 40 levels. These may or may not differ from mine, but may offer better or more reliable ways to complete each level. You'll have to pause it at the start of each level to copy the constructions, and then watch it to see what character does what at each command point. Full credit to the creator of the video.
