Weekly Seed #35 [Alpha 7b] [Seed: Feign Death]
« on: April 07, 2016, 01:44:52 AM »

This week's seed: Feign Death

It might work...

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 screenshots below match your game.
  • 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!

Ironically, feigning death is what got me killed.  I enter Caves at -6 hoping to find Data Miner.  I instead find the locked branch to Zion and a Behemoth guarding the factory exit.  I have no weapons at this point (took a beating in Caves) so I hop into a chute trap, hoping for backup.  For the first time ever, the compactors successfully corner me and I am slowly squished to death.  Womp.

here also -6.  i tried a straight run to the surface,
no mines, no caves, no storage, no extension
just level to level. but thats not so easy anymore...
in -6 i didn't want find the access...
branches yes but no access plus
i came in a chute trap and i lost all my parts...
back and half of my core lost - all starts again but against me.
so we have factory - waste - factory aka -6-6-6 --> next time <--
