Weekly Seed #27 [Alpha 6] [Seed: EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE]
zxc:
Mind the caps in the seed! Kyzrati: it turns out caps-lock doesn't work for entering seeds :o
This week's seed: EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE
The Weekly Seed is open to anyone. High scores are not the only feature of the runs and the main reason for putting this together is to share our experiences, stories, and tactics over the course of your run.
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 Scrapyard and Level -10 matches your seed
* Play through the game once. This is a friendly competition 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.
* Due to the spoilerific nature of this thread do not read the comments if you are intending to participate and haven't played your run!
* Any scoresheets submitted after seven days will not be included.
* Good luck!

I gave a shot at recording this run. It was a lot of fun, so I'll probably end up doing some more.
- (around 53:50, things get really interesting)
Happylisk:
Almost won - died on Access after one too many firefights. This is an amazing seed for terrain scanning - I found 2 advanced terrain scanners and 2 long range scanners. Made getting through research much easier.
On Access, I had the choice of going in two directions at the start. I chose the wrong one which led to my death. In retrospect, I should have been scrolling the map, since with my long range scanner I would've realized I was going the wrong way sooner once I saw the map edge.
Once I started going the right way the security level was too high for me to stand a chance. During a fight with 2 programmers and 2 hunters I decided to drop everything except some bare essentials and make a run for it. Lo and behold, I find the rear door of the exit. As I rush the terminal to hack it open, I step on a trap (hellfire I believe) which blew up the terminal. Hunters catch up with me, gg.
Also, first time exploring extension.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)I loved 07, what an ally. I chickened out and didn't venture into the Cetus - next time!

Kyzrati:
*me not reading any other posts yet*
Dropping by to mention that I'll be streaming this one at the normal time this week, Tuesday 10:30 PM EST.
Edit: Okay, I at least read the OP, which isn't off limits, and see
--- Quote ---Kyzrati: it turns out caps-lock doesn't work for entering seeds
--- End quote ---
to which I should mention yeah, it doesn't work anywhere in the game :). This was intentional because it's possible for the caps lock state to become reversed on Windows in programs if you change it in combination with Alt-Tabbing, and it's impossible to detect internally, so rather than allow that to happen and people complain about inexplicable bugs, I just decided to have it not work at all :/. Not a great solution, but oh well I blame Microsoft :P
Enno:
sad to say that i not really found time for cogmind this week.
and i need time for a good run, so this seed i'm not on board.
BUT ...Spoiler (click to show/hide)i found time to watch some streamuploads by kyzrati
and found out two more hacks for my collection
an disrupt-trojan for the terminal and a
intercept-trojan for the garrisson,
but psst. i say nothing... ;D
