5024. Much better than last time and I hope not just because I avoided the garrisons. I wasn't sure what my goal was in this run; I had various sensors, and various weapons, but I was slow most of the time, and I think lucky that not many hostiles tried to chase after me.

Propulsion challenge again. I made it to research and I died to a typo. Swapped out my signal interpreter instead of my scanner. Oops.

Decker doesn't count anything but wins ;)

I'm going stream and record again!  Maybe we can "Recycle" some of the candidates.

first i just want to ask if it's possible to post the scrapyard-preview-picture again in future weekly-seeds ?
like we had it in the past i think three seeds before. it is better in my opinion because the weekly-seed-challenger can immediately check if he/she/it is right. i additional controll with pictures in weekly-seeds too especially if the weekly-seed-name has y's and z's.

"Tread softly and carry a large missile launcher..." at the end i found no treads so changed to legs.
and on my legs i tried to found the access to research -2 but i never found. what i found was a little  room
i used to cover for a big shoot-out...i never came out of this room because more and more enemies
came...cogmind finished them and more arrived. finally cogmind successfull made an suicide in -3.

Sure thing! I wasn't sure how often people made use of it.
