I did a combat build and everything was going smoothly until I decided to go to the mines on -9 at a whim. This was a huge mistake and ultimately cost me the game. A bunch of infestation spawned right next to me, but luckily they got distracted by some demolishers. Ran in the opposite direction only to discover I was pinned in the starting area. I waited it out until the sounds of combat died out. Then I slowly began to explore again. Ran into some pests, lost all of my spare parts and had to ram a few of them and barely made it out of the mines. I went from medium storage unit and like 5 extra weapons down to practically nothing. The rest I ran pretty much like a skeleton with one engine and one flight unit, zipping over all the patrols I could (since I had no weapons). Found a staircase but it led to storage. I zipped around a lot looking for the exit, aggroing defender after defender. I was kind of impressed with the huge crowd I managed to get following me, and I utterly got demolished after my last flight unit was destroyed. I knew the risk of the mines but I think I'll be more cautious in future weekly seeds.
