I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I played this seed this evening. I only made it to the mines (-10?, No evolutions.) when some a-hole derelict started broadcasting a signal, drawing a squad to our position. Made for a short run :(. I had fun though, recorded it. I'll edit and upload it to Youtube soon, so anyone can see me fail XD!

Hey nuzcraft, thanks for sharing! Hehehe, got caught up in an assault eh? -10 Mines is a grab bag of randomness :P

(I've been really wanting to get back into streaming the seeds myself, but with this concussion I just can't do it right now :()

I can imagine :(. Get feelin' better man. I'm probably gonna try this seed again (avoiding the mines :P), and see if we can't do a bit better!

Hahaha "why did I not use the Grenade Launcher before?" Well, at least you discovered it before it was too late! You sure got lucky there, repeatedly, but with core that low you really should've just left as soon as you found that exit. And remember to remove your launcher when you're not using it so it doesn't get blown off (or misfires at a wall or ally due to corruption).

Haha, thanks! I'm still learning the best practices, but seem to forget them more often than not. I remember a few times when my allies have blown up randomly due to "Rocket Launcher Misfire", I'll keep that in mind with crazy weapons from now on. I've recorded a second run here https://youtu.be/HfvsCi7JF48 (https://youtu.be/HfvsCi7JF48). It was a lot of fun, and I think I learned some!

I plan on recording some more, let me know if you have tips, tricks, suggestions.
