Weekly Seed #115 [Beta 5] [Seed: CaveTrollRecycler]
« on: March 03, 2018, 02:02:48 AM »

This week's seed: CaveTrollRecycler



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!

Hello again.
I had very interesting run with this seed. Surprisingly, I was manage to visit one important and curious location for the first time!  :D This was cool, but the end of the run wasn't cool at all...  :-[

Welp...this is embarrassing. I don't remember the last time I died on -10  :'(

I've taken to habit heading towards the mines once I get some sort of explosive weapon. This time, an assembled infestation had already begun, but I spawned in right next to the demolisher response squad grenadiers. Explosive weapons weren't gonna help a ton. I positioned myself poorly to handle them and BOOM!

I say it all the time, something interesting always happens in the mines :)

Spoiler: Score: 572 (click to show/hide)

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.
