This week's seed: Fabulous Fabrication

This seed was a given.

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!

Yay, Alpha 9 is here! I'll be streaming this seed Friday evening probably earlier than usual, maybe start by 9:30 PM EST.

FYI I'm playing Cogmind on Windows 10, no issues.

Thanks for confirming--it would seem it does work fine under normal conditions, just whacked for those two players in particular who have something strange going on with their installation/settings and/or third-party software. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it...

Come to think of it, I fired it up on my father-in-law's Win 10 laptop some time back and it was working just fine then, too.

Wow, what a run! I have NEVER gotten so far before in any game of Cogmind I've played - but I made it all the way to -01 and then died when there were just too many enemies, haha. It was pretty much a straight flying (i.e. running from EVERYTHING) run, with some obscenely lucky staircase finds.

Here are some choice screenshots from near the end of the run:

Nice run StrixNebulosa. I think nearly everyone dies the first time they reach -1, it's that hard.

Kyzrati · « **Reply #6 on:** June 11, 2016, 12:27:08 AM »

Noooo... died in -3/Research with a rather low score for me :/

That turned bad pretty quickly, since I had a rather unfocused build around -4 (see my peak state), and then because I really wanted to give a visit to Warlord and friends, which I'd already located. I made it to the map directly adjacent to that destination, but couldn't push through the last caves and had to instead flee to Research in terrible shape xD

Some nice hackware, though: +60 at one point and it was really easy to do what I wanted (this was the first run ever where I recalled a bunch of squads, which was awesome). Also did a bit of fabrication on the way up, building allied Grunts of various tiers, and that helped out but wasn't OP.

Thank you! I was desperately looking for an exit and finding everything but, alas. With luck I'll return and find it some other time.

Watching you build those squads got me to try Fabricators out for the first time, and oh man but I love building Swarms. They're distraction, mostly, but it's so nice to inflict them on someone other than me for once!
