Weekly Seed #31 [Alpha 6] [Seed: Scrapyard Politics]
« on: March 09, 2016, 08:59:33 PM »

This week's seed: Scrapyard Politics

Tread softly and carry a large missile launcher...

The Weekly Seed is open to anyone, and we encourage you to 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 screenshot below of the Level -10 entry matches your seed
  • 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!

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.

I'll usually play in the evenings as time permits (~9:00 - 10:00 p.m. CST), but I won't have a fixed schedule.

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.
