I streamed this one (VOD)--made it close to the surface but it came to a terrible end when I was surrounded in Research and had my launcher blown off before I could start using it. Still got to Access, but couldn't rebuild

It was a pretty straight shot to the end, though I did stop by the Data Miner.

Used a hybrid hacker-combat build.

[Decker]

Some time ago I devised a nefarious plan to completely clear out Access. I set out to accomplish this noble goal in this seed.

I made a detour to visit Data Miner. Sherlockkat had mentioned that you could access the data stream by standing in Data Miner's spot. I bumped into him to shoo him away, then I stood two turns in his spot. Nothing happened. Then the guards shot the machinery. Drat. They nearly got me, too. I only had 57 HP upon entering the proximity caves. I survived with flight units.

I visited Extension. I tried the password that I got from Data Miner in the terminals around Cetus (I couldn't access Cetus itself since the door didn't open). It didn't work either. I'm a bit miffed. I had a tumble with the special guards in the Hub. Their EM gun is crappy when you wield it, but it's potent in enemy hands. I had to flee after losing half my pieces.

I finally reached Access and tried my plan. I extruded a large amount of rock using a launcher, then hid in a tunnel at the edge of the map. The shortest path to reach me was through the mined area. The enemy did go through there, but I vastly overestimated the amount of damage they would receive.

I had hoped to gradually mine rock after rock and destroy garrisons and engineers so that the robots would have to walk a long way through mined areas. Well, that didn't work.

There might be another way, though. That depends on how the game handles dispatched ARCs and programmers, and jump-over mechanics. Can a batch spawn if the previous batch didn't find me yet? If not, I thought about using disruption weapons to disable workers near a garrison entry. I know that the enemy can jump over each other in a straight line, but can they do it if there is a dense block of disabled units? If not, blocking the garrison with disabled workers could permanently trap a dispatch near the garrison.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to resort to hack the garrisons access points and seal them all quickly. That's pretty hard to pull off with a combat build.

[Sherlockkat]

I made a detour to visit Data Miner. Sherlockkat had mentioned that you could access the data stream by standing in Data Miner's spot. I bumped into him to shoo him away, then I stood two turns in his spot. Nothing happened. Then the guards shot the machinery. Drat. They nearly got me, too. I only had 57 HP upon entering the proximity caves. I survived with flight units.

That's weird. I have done it several times and it has always worked for me. The only difference that I can spot is that I always use a weapon against the data-miner. Usually a melee weapon so that I don't damage the machinery by accident.

edit:

There might be another way, though. That depends on how the game handles dispatched ARCs and programmers, and jump-over mechanics. Can a batch spawn if the previous batch didn't find me yet? If not, I thought about using disruption weapons to disable workers near a garrison entry. I know that the enemy can jump over each other in a straight line, but can they do it if there is a dense block of disabled units? If not, blocking the garrison with disabled workers could permanently trap a dispatch near the garrison.

It would be hilarious if you can foil MAIN.C's plans by dumping garbage in front their garrisons 

[Kyzrati]

Leave it to Decker to come up with a new and extreme strategy.

I had a tumble with the special guards in the Hub. Their EM gun is crappy when you wield it, but it's potent in enemy hands.

I think you're underestimating it, at least if you're expecting to use it against the Lightning squads.

Spoiler

If you scan those you'll see that they are completely immune to EM damage (which is why they aren't phased by a Network Hub blast, which in turn is why they are stationed there ).

Still, the EMDS is only useful if you like to focus on EM damage.

I think you're going to have a really hard time stopping up all four garrisons, but I'm sure you'll try . I also think you'll end up having to seal them, since units can dispatch over each other to a range you're almost certainly incapable of realistically blocking.

Decker rammed him, which counts as an attack rather than a standard move, so when he stopped in the target location it didn't know to trigger the conduit link (which happens on a regular move). That's something I need to fix, so that it always works on ramming, too. In the current build, if you ram the Miner you may have to step away and back again for it to link up. (But sometimes it does work now, even via ramming, because he's up against a wall and ramming him may fail to push into his location, so he flees while you're still standing in front rather than on that location. Anyway, I'll get it to work in all scenarios.)

I decided to ignore the seed name and prompt, and tried a pacifist run. I reached -1 and couldn't find the exit... This is the second time this has occurred. I'm starting to think Kyzrati did something to the -1 level generation between Alpha 5/6 and 8.

Also, every pacifist run I've reached at least -3.

[Kyzrati]

Kyzrati did not, to my knowledge, do such a thing.

Nice 0-kill runs up to the end, though!

No good hackware, eh? That's a drawback to an Alpha 8 pacifist run, relying mostly on luck for those since you can't steal them. Fabrication might help with that... I'm still waiting anxiously for the results of the next release to see if that will make things a little too easy.

[Shobalk]

Kyzrati did not, to my knowledge, do such a thing.

Lol!

I'm a little behind on running this weeks seed, but it's going down.  Currently on -6 with a trip through the caves. 

Shotty Mayhem (minus the shotguns) playlist

On a side note, Prox. Caves seem to be really deadly.  I'd like to explore them a bit, but I usually have to bail due to getting my butt kicked.  Is there anything worth looking for in there, or just find the exit and get out?

I never found anything particularly worthwhile. In all my games thus far, the exit was to the far right of the map. It seems to be the standard layout.

[Kyzrati]

P. Caves

There are some valuable things you could find, but not many that are exclusive to those particular caves. Proximity Caves tend to have greater resistance, as you near 0b10, so yeah, dangerous to hang around

[close]

[Shobalk]

I'm finally done.

Pretty insane finish.  I made it to Access completely loaded.  22/22 inventory, 4 launchers, heavy armor, hacking, drones, etc.  I could not find the exit...  until I found it on my very last move and then got shot in the face (butt?).  It happened so fast that I had to watch it on replay.

Video uploading to the playlist now.

I feel that my play degraded under the constant pressure.

Nice score though.  It would have landed me second behind Decker's insane 52k.

On a side note, this run made me respect EM launchers.  I had a Tesla Bomb launcher that was an absolute beast for the last 2 levels.

On to Alpha 9!

Whoa, quite a long run in terms of all three factors there--real time, turns, and route!

I remember when Happylisk was facing the end game for the first times he reportedly played in only 15-minute stretches to avoid making the wrong move and screwing everything up--definitely lots of pressure behind some of those late-game decisions . So close!
