GrindThisGame Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hello Gamers it's Wintermute here from GrindThisGame. I've made a new challenge map called The Lost City. A short video intro: https://youtu.be/f2LWAayhPaI The Goal: Find and enter the ancient lost city. The Rules: Don't use debug mode! Everything else is fair game. Backstory: You wake from a deep dreamless sleep inside an ancient pyramid. The atmosphere outside is toxic and foreboding. You sense the presence of an ancient lost city somewhat close to your location. Can you find and enter the lost city? I playtested it and it took about 60 cycles for me to complete. Since I knew the way it might have been faster but I'm sure people will find more creative and faster ways into the city. Please don't post any spoilers for a few days or at least warn people about the spoiler! Here is the save file: The LOST City.sav For PC you need to save this to: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Klei\OxygenNotIncluded\save_files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer jambell Posted January 9, 2018 Developer Share Posted January 9, 2018 SO COOL Can it be done in one hour? [edit: whoops, apparently not! :o] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindThisGame Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 @jambell It might be possible. I was taking my time during the playtest I did. My "solution" is likely not be optimal as well. It's faster to find the city vs. actually getting into it. Thinking of streaming it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oozinator Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I liked your map very much. I build a basic map now and you are guilty, that i use debug ! (and having phun now). I am wondering, how long it took for you to build/test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindThisGame Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 @Oozinator I think it took around 6 hours to build and 8 hours to test. I played it partially and had to tweak a few things then second play test was good and took 6 hours. I guess I spent some time planning and thinking about it before I actually built it as well. It was inspired by the tube challenge and also by a zone in a mud (multi user dungeon) that I played back in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimu Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It took me 183 cycles to find and get into Lost City. 5 Dupes had to die though. Alpha was one of them, but Beta and Omega survived until the end. Thanks for the great challenge and feeding my addiction to the game even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priitm Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Took me 47 cycles relaxed gameplay, so can be done alot quicker. Fun little challenge, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelen671 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 ...I'm totally playing this in debug mode. :3 I'm gonna make this place look sick. Spoiler (Not with slimelung though. :3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabdomeRaider Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Wow, that was hard. 89 cycles for me. My base fell apart about half-way through and I just brute-forced the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuQuasar Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Made it into the city by the end of Cycle 35 with 5 dupes. First try, but I might have gotten lucky: I figured I'd need exosuits sooner or later so I kinda bum-rushed them in the early game. Also, it'll take an extra cycle or two to charge up everyone elses exosuit so they can all transfer down there. Omega was the discoverer. She was very excited about it and could barely contain her enthusiasm. Spoiler The base I used to get there (click to expand): Spoiler I'll note that that water lock towards the bottom of the screenshot a) isn't necessary and b) doesn't entirely work. I had to dig a reservoir further down to catch the spillage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not unfold spoiler unless you've done this map for fun, then for time run, then for optimized time run and then once again. Spoiler Don't do this. SPOILER!!!! Spoiler Do you know that there is another city on this map right in the skies? That's right, right through this insane amount of propane. And question is which one of them should be discovered.

GrindThisGame Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I ended up doing my own challenge after some people requested it. It actually was challenging even though I knew where I was going! I did it as a livestream and here is the recording. It starts at the 2min 20 sec mark. This video has spoilers! https://youtu.be/pxo2ffw4HFM?t=2m19s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
