So, you like to watch your base get overun by creeper? This is the map for you! You design and prepare a base to take on the onslaught of creeper that will decend upon you. Once you start the map, you can no longer control your base. You can only sit there and watch - with the exception of placing relays. (That might come in handy). Can you survive up to the time limit of 1 hour? When you eventually lose, your score will be inverted, such that it is (60 min - Actual Time) = Submitted Time. #CRPL

For those wondering, I survived for almost 29 minutes... Just shy of my 30min goal.

Thoughts? Reactions? Hate? Sigh...  :P

It has been only two hours from publishing :)

PS. My new map neither has comments yet, it's not only you.

[Sorrontis]

I'm just joking around... a little bored.

[Builder17]

Find something you enjoy to do?

Interesting. I lost five minutes before you did.

Given that you're using AddCreeper here (or mislabelling), I'd guess that - given sufficient firepower - you could survive forever.

Specifically, if you can keep the defence intact (and powered) until conversion density is reached, you can survive any number of cycles.

[Sorrontis]

How high does creeper need to be to self convert again? (That was a rookie mistake on my part - one that I've rectified already for my next map)

I am amazed that after so long mapmakers are still coming up with unique ideas!

This is great, 10/10 for originality and that is amazing considering that fro 30 mins you don't do a thing! Be interested to see some screen shots from people, different approaches etc.

Attached my starting pos.

Spoiler

I tried to keep the units in sections, once the first reactor section had built I then connected the others with relays. The energy packets did very little but it all helps I guess!

Wow, that's beautiful. No wonder you beat my score.
