« on: October 12, 2016, 12:54:10 PM »
This week's seed: Alien Agenda

Who are they and what do they want!?

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.

Good luck and have fun!

Damn, lost to core attrition in the Research branches!!! But hey, still managed to come out 75 points over Decker ;) (for now...)

Seriously, check out what I was equipped with when I went down--still in good shape xD

This was my first time playing for a couple months (too busy!), and it was a heck of a lot of fun playing with some of the new stuff. This was a legged combat run, though now that we have the latest large-inventory management feature I wanted to try and play that way, so I had three Lrg. Storage Units for much of the game. Sure was nice having all those parts, but I'm not used to playing with so many preoccupied utility slots! I prefer just a size 10 inventory and the extra slots to enhance combat capabilities.

There were quite a few hairy battles, but much of the game ended up sticking to the main complex so it was mostly predictable. Materials was surprisingly tough for a bit, Storage got pretty dangerous (isn't it always...), and other than that it was Testing that did me in after I'd scoured nearly the entire map. Acquired some really nice prototypes there, though not quite enough to justify the cost of visiting (death :P). There are a lot of possibilities there, though, so I'll still be visiting again!

In any case, it was really nice to not have multiple garrisons nearby one another...

I streamed the whole thing here, and a bunch of Cogminds showed up to chat and take part. Was great fun--will definitely be back next week :D
