This week's seed: Distress Signal

Heeeeeeeeeeelp...

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.

Well unfortunately the most recent seeds have gotten no attention, though I imagine the half-completed caves didn't give Alpha 7 quite enough life to last through to Alpha 8

.

I'm rather excited to get back into the seeds beginning with the next one, however, since the caves are mostly complete and offer some new toys.

I've done one Alpha 8 run so far, yesterday as a pre-release test, and broke the Cogmind all-time high score record with an almost-win at 38k. Spent a lot of time wandering the caves and got some nice intel, gear, and friends for it, but I admit I also triggered a war in Research, which helped pass through one floor relatively unscathed. Hunters were not as much of a problem for my combat build as I feared. I only lost because I had no reliable way to find the final exit, and was running around hoping to get lucky

. Spent 4,000 turns in Access alone, much of the time at Alert Level 5 annihilating squad after squad. Oh man I wish that was a seed run!

Spoiler: For the curious, here's my score sheet (click to show/hide)

Got lucky and found a ton of launchers on the way, and also really enjoying having 800 matter stores with a good compressor.

Now I need to try this again for the leaderboards

(and with a proper seed--this one was random since I wasn't using 7b...)
