This week's seed: InsulatedStormThruster



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!

So I was planning to do some combat run this time, with a little bit of hacking, and hopefully migrate over to flight build on a later floor. Materials are great place to track down operators and take their hacking suites. By the end of Materials, I had so many hacking suites (at least 5 in total) I had to throw some out to make room for backup weapons and propulsion. However, that build quickly changes after I found a trap extractor and then later, a stasis trap on -7 Factory. No, I'm not going to carry a bunch of traps this time, unlike my other trapper run. I'll only be carrying a single one.

Why? One of the lores says that standing in a stasis trap reduces all incoming damage by 25%. I think that's pretty significant. With that in mind, I can afford to take up more offense while still be beefy. As time goes on, I started to replace my equipped hacking suites for other parts. I didn't get much chance to grab many offensive utilities, so instead I went for even more defense with armor.

After reaching -6 Factory, I found a cave that leads me to Zion. From there, I suddenly found access to one of the scariest branch of all: The Deep Cave.

Spoiler: DEEP CAVE SPOILER (click to show/hide)

I'm actually glad about my build. The last time I went to that cave, I got murdered with a flight build. This time, I'm packed with guns and armor. Now I can take on that beast.

Spoiler: ATTAAAAAACK!!! (click to show/hide)

Z-Imprinter is really tough to beat! He came out while I'm at the open space. And because he's on hover, I had to come close to him to get any good aim against him. Meanwhile, several assembles came along and joined in the fight against me. That's a lot of enemies already!

However, I did not forget about my stasis trap. After coming close to the Imprinter, I quickly installed a stasis trap underneath me and then self-trigger for a big damage reduction. As a result, I barely had enough weapons to finish off the Imprinter, and that was after about 100 turns of battle! Had I not been under the stasis trap, I think I would have lost all my weapons already.

Spoiler: When the smoke is cleared (click to show/hide)

One good tip to remember, ALWAYS keep an extra propulsion in your inventory, even if that means detaching one to keep it alive. That way, you won't have an overweight penalty x20 if you happen to lose all your propulsion.

Also, if you're using the stasis trap trick and you want to extract it, make sure you don't accidentally drop your extractor! Otherwise, if there's an item underneath you, it will be dropped at another tile and you won't be able to pick it up without destroying your stasis trap! I've learned that the hard way. 

After roaming around a bit in the Deep Cave, I've encountered one of the most powerful enemies in the world. In fact, it's stronger than any Main.C robot I've ever met, at -6 floor! Not even Alpha 7 could stand a chance. Behold, the Golem:

Spoiler: GOLEM (click to show/hide)

The moment I saw that thing, I couldn't believe its power level. This one-tile robot is as strong as almost two B-99 Colossus? Ridiculous! How could anyone beat this thing without any high-level weapon, let alone grab its GOLEM Unit item? Does that mean I could even construct a Golem if I get this thing?

I want it.

But unfortunately, I was getting wrecked by this beast so I had to flee to the stairs and hopefully that would take me to the next floor, or at least that's what I thought...

Enter: Proximity Cave. Aughhhh!!!

Despite grabbing a lot of Zionite gears which are all cool parts, they have very low integrity compared to Main.C's variant. After approaching an enemy base filled with dormant enemies (not a good idea), I thought I had enough good gears to approach and destroy them. (I really want to hack into their terminal over there.) Turns out, I overestimated them and I ran out of items. I had to drop all my storage units and a bunch of loots to escape. I got chased down by Wardens which aren't so bad since they're super slow. But after a while, I came across a dead end. My core integrity is extremely low, and there's no other way around without approaching the Wardens dead-on. And when I did, it's all over.

I died unhappy.

Spoiler: The day I had to die (click to show/hide)

But there are a lot of secrets in the Deep Cave, and then there's Golem I want to capture. I also got to see the power of stasis trap during combat which I think it's quite effective. Maybe I'll try that out again in the future, with a secret anti-Golem build.

My run is currently in-progress, but it has been pretty crazy so far. Due to some sloppy play, I ended up in A LOT of gunfights. At one point, in Materials (I think -8), I had a garrison I couldn't seal, with Defenders coming from either side. Frantic grenade launchering ensued followed by frantic matter getting. Towards the end of that floor, lo and behold, a sign from the heavens... One room. 3 good flight units. One sensor array. One signal interpreter. Flight build, here we come . I'm currently in Factory, hoping to make it as high as I can collecting lore. I'll be updating this post as I go!

Edit: Flying was great! I think my biggest problem is that I get going so fast, I forget to stop and actually make decisions :/. In -3/Research, I had the toughest time finding a main exit. Hacks didn't work, Veterans, Wardens, and all kinds of baddies everywhere. Low on matter, I decide to ambush a Technician (or Eye?) from behind a wall... it was a Master. Things went downhill REAL quick as I scrambled for an exit. In the end, I made it to -2/Research with nothing equipped. That's it for now, but I'll update with my eventual demise .

Edit 2: Welp, I lasted approximately 2 mins on -2/Research, couldn't find the equipment to get restocked.

From there, I suddenly found access to one of the scariest branch of all: The Deep Cave.

Ah, ended up heading back again so soon, eh? Still more stuff to learn in there

And more stasis cheese tactics . I guess there's also the disadvantage that once you perhaps want to reposition during battle, you can't, hehe. Interesting findings regarding how to keep it alive longer!

I had a garrison I couldn't seal, with Defenders coming from either side. Frantic grenade launchering ensued followed by frantic matter getting.

I hope you weren't trying to nade the Defenders (or did you have no other options?), since they're pretty resistant to that. I mean I guess you can still do it (now I'm wondering if GJ does that anyway with his explosive builds...), just feels like a waste to me.

Edit: Flying was great!

It's a good way to play, but yeah the impressive speed can get you killed if you don't stop and plan accordingly

Oh, I was definitely nading the Defenders. I honestly haven't payed too much attention to enemy weaknesses and resistances yet. That changes today
