Weekly Seed #114 [Beta 5] [Seed: ElectronPulseMapper]
« on: February 23, 2018, 07:32:04 AM »

This week's seed: ElectronPulseMapper



The Weekly Seed is open to anyone, and we encourage you to share your experiences, stories, and tactics over the course of your run.

The rules are as follows:
  • The Weekly Seed begins from the date this thread is posted and lasts about seven days.
  • Make sure you are running the correct version of Cogmind (see thread subject).
  • Enter the seed and abort your current game to initiate the seed (more details are below).
  • Verify you are not running the tutorial and that the screenshots below match your game.
  • Play through the game once. This is a friendly event and we are all honest people.
  • When finished, post your scoresheet here (it should be the newest file in /scores) and any other screenshots/stories/strategies you wish to share with the community.
  • If you want to share details about the seed or your approach, make sure you use spoiler tags.
  • Due to the spoilerific nature of this thread, be sure to avoid reading details about the seed if you haven't completed your run.
  • As Cogmind now has multiple difficulty modes and challenges which will affect the world generation, by default it is assumed everyone is playing on regular difficulty with no challenges enabled. You are free to use whichever settings you wish, but if you intend on discussing it, be sure to specify what difficulty/challenges you're using!

Good luck and have fun!

Lesson learned: don't be greedy and don't overfill all storage units with sensors, even advanced ones.

The best approach is to just keep your sensors safe from harm, they should last a very long time. At the most you should only ever carry one backup at a time :)

I'm kinda working backwards since I ran this AFTER weekly seed 115 (and did much better!) Even so, I found this run...lacking.

Right from the get-go, I didn't have a real plan in mind, besides trying to find Z, so I just kinda meandered around killin some stuff, gettin stuff, goin places. You know, normal robot stuff.

I ended up heading into the mines again (gasp!) and got a little help from a friend :)

This run, like all my others, will be uploaded to my Youtube Channel, though not for a few weeks. I try to get Cogmind content up M, W, F.
I occasionally stream on Twitch, stop by if you see me on.

Stasis! That's messed me up in that area before, too xD

Ooh a Proto D... 8FPS encountered one of those for the first time a couple days ago and it was pretty funny. The right response is always to run the other direction :P
