What a run!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So here's what happened.
I was running a pretty standard leg build and I worked my way from materials to factory as usual, but I got swarmed by soldiers and sentinels at -6 and was completely stripped, but I made it! Alright, so I make it to -5 and I start building another leg build, and it's going pretty well, right? Well, you may notice that my peak state is most certainly not a leg build, but a heavy tread build, and by that, you may be able to infer that I got stripped again. What happened is I ran out of matter and into a beast. So I'm a naked core again, running away like the little not-beast I am, but I stumble into a chute trap. "Aww man," I thought to myself "Now I'm gonna have to deal with compactors." But something was off about these wastes... There were no compactors! After a bit of exploration, I found a little alcove in the wall. After searching it I found derelict weapons and concluded that they must've cleared the place out and made it into an outpost. I picked up the weapons as well as some treads and antimatter cores from the compactor corpses and got back to -5. Now my biggest priority at this point was finding an exit so I could get my badly damaged and corrupted core fixed up. Of course, I'm a very distractable person, so every time I pass a door, I have to check to see if there's anything valuable in there. This wastes a lot of time and presents a risk. I fell to the latter. I opened up one room, but instead of finding valuables, I find sages. For the record, I totally could've handled them if my core health wasn't at 114, but it was. The End.

Moral of the story? You can find new parts, but not a new core, so just get to the exit already!

It was... interesting. I only started playing this game yesterday, so all things considered, it was a good run. It was fairly typical until I hit -7, where I decided to do something stupid but really fun. I equipped launchers in all three of my weapon slots. I had a proton bomb launcher, an EM missile launcher, and a precision grenade launcher. Needless to say, this is what got me killed. You see, as fun as they are, launchers are very matter intensive and I had no lasers. Next thing you know, I'm all out of matter, my propulsion is destroyed, and I'm cornered by 3 commandos and 2 hackers. Miraculously, I actually escaped this by kicking everyone out of my way and running, but then I, a naked core with about 50 health left, hits a proton bomb trap. The End

Moral of the story? Always bring a backup laser.
