This week's seed: IonStealthRay



The Weekly Seed is open to anyone, and we encourage you 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.
• As Cogmind now has multiple difficulty modes and challenges which will affect the world generation, by default it is assumed everyone is playing on regular difficulty with no challenges enabled. You are free to use whichever settings you wish, but if you intend on discussing it, be sure to specify what difficulty/challenges you're using!

Good luck and have fun!

I'm such a slowpoke but I just finished this run
It was cool and fun to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

kill the golems with adv. emp.blaster and get golem unit for the first time with this seed. I was playing around for a while and made some combat build with all these funny golem items. I was glad to increase my gallery discovers with them. Also abs.cannons were really good aquirement and I loved to use them!
But unfortunatly I became too self-aware with golem items... At some point I loose abs.reactor, so I couldn't use abs.cannon effectively anymore and started to loose control over the situation.  Also I couldn't effectively run to safe place and regenerate calmly because my movement was too slow. So I was forced to drop aslmost all my items. But this didn't save my from death at -4 by a bunch of enemies.

Too bad I didn't win...

Interesting to see how different players fare when trying out the G Unit. It's definitely a change of pace! And we've had more players trying it out lately. I haven't done a run like that myself yet, should probably work on that at some point...

Your peak state looks fun!

It is very challenging to get if you don't know exactly how to do it! Valguris's stream helped me here by showing how to get it semi-reliably and I suspect may have inspired others too. But if you don't come prepared your build will be destroyed. There is basically an end-game level of difficulty in ZDC: you can't afford to mess up here. In exchange, of course, the mid-game becomes quite easy.
