Ideas / Scroll through items in the Search Screen?
« on: April 07, 2024, 08:36:45 PM »
Is there a way to scroll through the map locations of items I search for using the keyboard?
Perhaps this is an option in keyboard mode, but I play almost exclusively mouse+keyboard. I’ll hit Space, then F, to open the search menu. I’ll type in the item name, and I often (subconsciously) click the down key to start scrolling through the item list, but that has no effect
This might be a handy addition. We type in the item, then we can scroll through the list via keyboard; perhaps we’re taken to the location of each item on the map as we scroll. Or perhaps we scroll to an item we’re interested in, then hit a key to bounce to its location.
If this is already an option and I’ve missed it, my apologies!

Ideas / Highlight Cogmind amongst a sea of items?
« on: April 03, 2024, 03:09:41 PM »
This is trivial, but there's been a few situations where the ground is littered with items, making Cogmind a little difficult to see (see screenshot). Would it make sense, in these scenarios, to make Cogmind stand out a little bit more -- some sort of highlighting mechanism?
This doesn't happen a lot, and it's a very minor thing, but it may be a slight QOL addition. And if this already exists, my apologies!

Stories / My First Win
« on: March 31, 2024, 12:23:12 AM »
I finally got my first win in Cogmind!
After playing around with some different builds, I went back to FarCom Flight. It was by no means well-tuned, but I got a decent flight set (arrays, with their increased integrity, worked very well) and a good thermal/melee weapon combo for digging and some light combat.
Items I enjoyed using: the Enhanced Optical Array is one of my favourites; the 0b10 decode chips (Looter and Scout) proved very helpful; and the Transmission Jammer can prevent a lot of headaches.
Just a tremendously fun game. I still have a ton to learn, and my builds could be better optimized, but what a blast. Look forward to trying some different win paths and builds!

Stories / A Jaunt Through the Branches
« on: March 17, 2024, 11:29:07 AM »
I've heard how much fun the branches are. I haven't explored them much, so I decided to with a leg + melee build.
Came across
Then, on -3, I was discovered and had to shed everything and make a break for it. Got a little lucky and found the stairs to Quarantine with, um, a pretty light load-out (see screenshot). At that point, security was so high that several patrols landed on my position, and that was that!
A few notes:
- Drones are amazing. The Splicer Drone Bay, in particular, is helpful and super fun.
- Used traps extensively for the first time. Very deadly, very satisfying.
- Melee is enjoyable -- especially when you knock out two enemies with a single volley.
What a blast! Look forward to exploring and learning more.

Strategies / Advice for a FarCom Flight-Hacker Build
« on: March 04, 2024, 02:28:57 PM »
I'm working on my first win, and I've decided to go for the easy one -- a FarCom Flight-Hacker build. I'm currently on -6, and I'd like some advice on how to proceed.
Right now, I've been using wheels and large storage for parts-collection. I'm grabbing micro-power units and Improved VTOL Modules, which I've also scanned. I'm currently running with 1 Power, 5 Propulsion, 7 Utility, and 2 Weapon. I know I want to focus on propulsion and utility for this build, but at what point would it make sense to add a second Power slot? Is there any other Utilities I should be prioritizing? (I need a Hacker Suite, for example.) Any advice would be wonderful.
I've also attached my current stats, if that helps.
Thanks very kindly!

Strategies / Strategy: getting past the Beast
« on: March 01, 2024, 10:34:07 PM »
Hello all!
I'm a recent player of Cogmind. (Thanks, Kyzrati, for a fantastic game!)
I'm in an interesting predicament in the Lower Caves, just off Level 7. Check out the included screenshot. There's only one path forward, but unluckily for me, it's guarded by a Beast. I've looked around for other paths, even dug to see if I might tunnel to a side path, but no such luck.
I'd love to hear some advice for getting by the Beast. I have a couple ideas:

I'd love to hear some advice for getting by the Beast. I have a couple ideas:
- I could remove my delicate bits, throw on the Reactive Plating and Hard Heavy Armour Plating, grit my teeth, and rush past him.
- Another option is to shoot him, attract his attention, and hope he busts through and chases me, which may allow me retreat, circle around, and rush past him (See the other screenshot highlighting the east part of the map.)
