Weekly Seed #9 [Alpha 3c] [Seed: SeedyRobots]

zxc · September 28, 2015, 02:34:21 AM

Copying the format of earlier weekly seeds. I think I got everything right - if not, let me know.

This week's seed: SeedyRobots

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 exactly 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, 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!

HOW TO ENTER A SEED

Press F1 to go to the MENU, select OPTIONS, select Seed, and enter this week's seed:

Select GAME, select ABORT:

If you have followed the steps [Manual seed applied: SeedyRobots] should display in the log window.

Congratulations on entering the seed, now get in there!

Looks good! Thanks for taking this on

Happylisk · September 28, 2015, 06:32:00 AM

I'll get to this over the weekend. Looking forward!

Kyzrati · September 28, 2015, 08:59:03 AM

Yay! With the tournament over, I can participate again! I usually play on Fridays, so I'll be in on this later.

Joining the seed runs with everyone has been good to force me to play at least one full game a week, which is otherwise very difficult because I'll usually spend all my time implementing features and testing rather than playing for real

Thanks for picking it up, zxc.

This didn't take me long...

Spoiler

Well, I went into this run pretty confident, after escaping for the first time and finding my supporters item in the same run over the weekend.

Which of course meant that to even things out this was probably my least successful run ever.

I ran into a bunch of swarmers to the north-west of the first level entrance, which blew up a neutrino reactor I was stood in front of and stripped me bare. Then, though I found some stairs further to the west I decided that I should try to better equip myself before escaping.

Mistake.

I ran into another bunch of swarmers and grunts exploring east, found myself in a series of dead-ends and died unceremoniously, without enough energy to equip my only weapon and a score that would only just have registered in the tournament (which is more due to the swarmers blowing up their own machine than anything I did).

Can't win them all I guess! Probably should have realised things weren't going great at the stairs and taken them anyway, then used the extra slots / core integrity to get the equipment I wanted more safely on the next level.

May have another go at the seed later in the week for fun (/to restore my Cogmind ego), but here is my official entry:

run info spoilers

-10, Materials: This was a rough start. Seriously, my god.

Cogmind limping out of his first encounter. It was pretty painful, and note that I only had a single Medium laser left after the dust cleared. I had like 2 spares before that, + looted weapons.

[close]

Mistakes were made while searching for more weapons.

I did manage to find myself a grenade launcher while fleeing, which managed to save the day. Very clutch, thank you RNG.

[close]

With a mere 39 hull left, I manage to snipe off an Operator and grab his key, while not actually activating these Swarmers.

I use his key on the terminal to the north to secure an exit that isn't going to dump me in the mines and get me killed. Which would've been absolutely terrible.

[close]

-9, Materials: Mostly uneventful. I got my Imp. Flight Units here, at which point I decided that I was going full stealth. I blew up a few sentries here, because early prototype weapons wreck them.

Spoiler

[close]

-8, Materials: Kind of scary. But hey, it all worked out.

Hacking: it's hard sometimes

[close]

Desperately trying to make a run for it, not pictured, like 4 other pursuers to the left

[close]

The part in which things just keep getting worse and worse. Spoiler: I did actually survive this with my wings intact, somehow.

[close]

-7, Factory: I came in with fuck all, but at least I had my prototype flight units + energy to sustain them. Nothing particularly bad happened here I think, or if it did I forgot about it.

Spoiler

[close]

-6, Factory: Not that bad. I came in with decent gear, got stuck in the Wastes, got out, and left with a broken Plasma Lance that I never did manage to repair.

Spoiler

LRN Sensor Arrays: basically the best.

[close]

-5, Factory: Being chased by a billion things, I dive into a chute trap to avoid otherwise likely horrible death (well, I probably could've escaped, but would've sustained a lot of damage regardless). This seems vaguely unfair as far as tactics go, but it's also vaguely unfair that programmers are psychic, so eat it, programmer jerks. Also, as probably karmic revenge, I accidentally ran into a second chute trap inches away from the exit when I returned. I would've taken a screenshot of it, except I had no idea I was going to fall into the Pit of Despair.

Spoiler

[close]

-4, Factory: I uhh, got stuck in the Wastes again. I really didn't want to. I did find this super cool reactor which was physically impossible for me to equip. After getting out of the Wastes, I hacked an Access(Main) and beelined out because I didn't want to be reprogrammed.

Spoiler

[close]

-3, Research: This wasn't too bad, IIRC. However, I didn't take any pictures besides this one from when I spawned into the level. Sue me.

Spoiler

[close]

-2, Research: Not much to show here, because I spent basically no time here, because deep network scanners.

image

[close]

-1, Access: Sneaking level: very intense, also an operator falling down on the job

images

[close]

Exciting fun fact: of the 353 total core damage I took, 211 of it was on -10. Thanks, Materials.

Second fun fact: basically the entire run was done without ECM suites. Probably not the best strategy, but it worked out anyway.

Well, this was unexpected. This is, for the record, my first attempt at any of these seed runs and my first victory.

Wow, congrats! Nice gear

I'll have a look at and comment on the run info after I do my own run.

Kyzrati · September 28, 2015, 11:33:54 PM

Whoa, a new victor!? The leaderboard has three now in just a week since the tournament's end! (I'm guessing this is partially a result of the new guides?

)

Haven't done my own run yet so I can't comment further

I did read zxc's guide to stealth, which helped a fair bit. I also read the manual (after reaching Research and dying horribly) which was also really, really helpful. I had no idea you could even perform remote hacks prior to that, which makes hacking-heavy strategies a lot more effective. As it turns out, stacking network scanners is really, really effective.

TBH I was going to quit and come back after hitting research, but I was so well equipped that I just kept on trucking. It worked pretty well, probably mostly because of all the hacking gear I had that let me find exits before any programmers ever showed up.

Also, the whole Access bug where the programmers never find you is kind of a relief. I imagine that's getting fixed, but it's kind of nice for now that you can take as much time as you want

zxc · October 01, 2015, 12:01:34 AM

My run ended on -2. It was all going very well until I stepped on a (double) stasis trap - and it turns out that stasis traps alert nearby enemies in some way, which I didn't know before. Lost all my gear and got shredded. I made it to -2 but couldn't rebuild properly and died. Stasis traps are pretty much the most deadly thing for a stealth build, by a long, long way. I think if that didn't happen it was going to be a relatively easy win otherwise.

Argh, worst run in a long time. Was going with a walking combat build as I usually do and got pincered by two pairs of Hunters on -6, which just ripped me apart.

And this was my first full game with 3c, too :/

Spoiler

No troubles in Materials, of course; here I'd just arrived in the Factory. And totally planned to go for all that armor on finding a Hauler:

Quote from: zxc on October 01, 2015, 12:01:34 AM
it turns out that stasis traps alert nearby enemies in some way, which I didn't know before.

Nope, you were just unlucky in that case. There's no warning function associated with any trap but the alarm trap.

Quote from: zxc on October 01, 2015, 12:01:34 AM
Stasis traps are pretty much the most deadly thing for a stealth build, by a long, long way.

I figured that would end up being the case.

In my run after the Hunters scrapped me I ran around with the Datajack in my inventory, pulling it out whenever encountering traps to reprogram them to take out my pursuers, which was pretty fun, but I didn't get to find an exit before running into more enemies (not enough of the floor was explored yet...). Partially my fault since I detoured into a dead end to grab a lone Drone Bay that might've helped me escape faster.

Now that the tournie is over I've been experimenting with a couple of things. Today's experiment was how well can I do drunk.

The answer was -4, 8k score which was better than I expected.

Haha, I don't know how well this experiment's results can be applied across multiple players. Perhaps next time we need a graph of "inebriation level vs score"

It was interesting to note the things I did differently. The main thing was I was too lazy to bother with teriminals and fabricators. The latter was more responsible for my early death (low storage = less ability to withstand attrition).

Also, using programmers to get a feel for where the exit is is way too effective. I breezed through factory 7-5 using them. Garrisons will be a very nice addition to the game.

Kyzrati · October 04, 2015, 07:34:24 PM

Yeah, garrisons were one of the mechanics I wanted before Alpha 1, but ran out of time and had to stop adding features. It's one of the things that is really needed for a number of reasons, the biggest (and reason I came up with that mechanic in the first place) being to make it more difficult to gauge precisely where the exits are. (Before yourself I don't think anyone really figured this out, though.)

it turns out that stasis traps alert nearby enemies in some way, which I didn't know before.
Nope, you were just unlucky in that case. There's no warning function associated with any trap but the alarm trap.

Are you sure?

Fortunately I recorded it. You can see me waiting several turns to make sure that the swarmer patrols were moving slow enough to trigger the stasis traps myself to move forward in the floor. The moment I trigger it, the swarmers suddenly move MUCH faster and straight to me. At the end of this, I had zero items, and the entire loss of the run can be attributed to this one moment.

Regardless, I've learnt that it's never worth it to trigger stasis traps yourself. But I do think that situation was not meant to happen.

Kyzrati · October 04, 2015, 11:22:09 PM

Heh, what a coincidence that you have it recorded

Yes, I'm sure. In this case what's happening in the video is a relative speed change that has them approaching faster than you might expect. You are originally moving at 4.3 spaces per turn, then suddenly while stuck in the trap you spend several full turns in a row trying to escape (it costs one full turn, not your movement speed, to move against the field once). That squad just happened to be going in your direction, another clue being that only the first one was moving out ahead of the others--that one's the leader. If they had actually known you were there they would've shared their target info and all sped up and been on you at more or less the same time.

Patrols are statistically more likely to take corridors than be in rooms, so based on the map shown there was already a near 50% chance that they'd round the corner and past your location.

I was waiting out many turns at the start. That's 100 time units per turn. Something just isn't right about this whole scenario.

Kyzrati · October 04, 2015, 11:29:08 PM

I saw that, and they weren't doing much, but then patrols do also stop for certain periods. I've looked at the code several times (including when you first mentioned it) and there is nothing different about how stasis traps are handled--alarm traps are the only ones that have code to alert nearby robots--so if this happens with stasis traps it would also happen with all other traps, too. It makes sense that this feeling could come from stasis traps, compared to other types, since they're the only ones that keep you in place for a while as events around you unfold as normal.

zxc · October 04, 2015, 11:34:46 PM

Well I'm going to have to say that's an incredible coincidence for them to start moving so quickly the moment I step on it. I waited about 20 full turns just standing there, with them going at a speed at which I ought to be safe for another 50 turns, and then the moment I step on the trap they are attacking me within 3 turns. Roguelikes teach cruel and unusual lessons.

I intend to try recording some videos to support my guide when I can get a better mic.

I'm genuinely curious if you experience it in other cases where it's 100% irrefutable that's what happened. Apparently it's already happened to you more than once, though as said there is statistical bias towards this occurrence.

There could also be other factors at play somewhere... I just tested it to be sure and see nothing out of the ordinary: Multiple patrols passing nearby had no response for the duration I was stuck in a stasis trap.

Well, you have the exact seed, floor (-3), trap and patrol. If you really wanted to, you could test that exact situation I was in more thoroughly. I'd do it myself but I'd want some kind of cheat/exploration/devtools mode to get there as it's non-trivial to reach -3 playing normally. I don't think it would be a good use of your time to test this but I'll keep my eyes open for other instances of stasis traps behaving unusually.
