Competitions / Re: Weekly Seed #105 [Beta 3.1] [Seed: DeepSeismicChainsword]

Pretty straightforward run through materials. Briefly dipped into the mines but relatively close to another exit that took me up to the next materials floor before anything exciting happened.
I'd been rocking legs and a pretty mixed utility/weapon build but the very first room on the first factory floor had a large stock of 8 flight units. Feeling the need for speed I decided to swap out the legs and zip through the level. Unfortunately I got caught in an awkward spot and after losing a couple flight units I triggered a chute trap. I was actually not too worried about this as I had backup flight units and knew I'd be able to dodge past the crusher units but it turned out an advance force working for some Warlord had cleared the place out. I helped myself to their cache of battle rifles and headed out. Unfortunately, in my haste, I declined to wait for too many of the friendly robots to catch up to me so only a small force accompanied me back into 0B10.
With Warlord's forces generally wreaking havoc I was free to zip around until I found the way into the next level. This is where it got sticky, there was only one room connecting the area where I spawned in to the rest of the complex, unfortunately this room is also where troops were coming through to search for me so I explored every other nook and cranny of each room (there may have been a secret passage in one of them, I didn't walk along every wall), all the while getting shot at, before deciding to go into the teeth of the gauntlet and diving through the throngs of enemy robots to get into the larger part of the facility. At this point I'm down to just a couple of installed chips and relying on the core propulsion to fly by enemies as quickly as possible. At this point there are 4 hunters and who knows how many regular troopers coming after me and I dodge up into what turns out to be a cul de sac. Here I get my second good bit of trap luck as I trigger an ambush trap and it spawns three friendlies! We dodge into a room with a lot of structures and while the hunters gun down my new friends I manage to take advantage of the battle to slip by the hunters. The other pursuers haven't caught up so I'm desperately trying to turn the corner and get out of the line of fire when the first hunter emerges and destroys whats left of my core with his gauss rifle.
Not my best run, I've been pretty consistent at getting up to research in my last few playthroughs but there was a real lack of good propulsion equipment along the path I took other than the one big stockpile I found when I first got to factory. Fun though, I've never seen that set piece with the chute trap.
