Be warned that you can get stuck in this map if you destroy the portals before digging through the "infinite" stone in the middle right of the map.  Kind of sucks when you're that far along and realize what you've done!

Cannot be won (or even survived) without MULTIPLE MULTIPLE miracles of good fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can t be done, you cant get the techs for weapons and stuff

[Grauniad]

Can t be done,  ....

I see you preface a lot of comments with the above phrase. Here's the deal.

It *can* indeed be done. Maybe not by everyone, but for a map to be uploaded, it must have a score by the map maker. That proves it is possible.  Then, it won't pass moderation without direct intervention from me or Virgil if a map moderator cannot add a second score. I will only pass maps if I know that the map maker has a reputation for incredibly difficult maps. Virgil has not ever, to my knowledge, passed a map without a 2nd score

Now also look at the map stats, if there are more than 2 scores, it mean that many players have managed to beat the map and have bothered to upload their scores. More may have played and not uploaded their scores.

huh, how to do it? i dont have any weapons, thanks

Look, it's a puzzle map, the clues are in the numbers, Either you figure it out or move on to a different map. I looked at it, I saw Katra's comments and weren't  in a mood to sit around puzzling this one out. Maybe someone who did will give you a clue.

Dig the terrain NE of your ship, this will allow the packets to reach the NW chamber via the outer route. Get reactor, get coil, get beacon, then the rest.

Read that, forgot that, did that ...grrr

[TLMike]

I'm legitimately concerned about why anyone would think this is impossible.

[PMouser]

i cant get the creeper out of the way of coil. what to do now? ty

[Builder17]

Clever trick using outer route to access left area. :o

Edit: Are AC numbers on left and creeper numbers connected someway?

These spores/phantoms have too much creeper IMHO.

After solving puzzle it seems to be usual map? Or is there something else? (Don't nullify gateways too early)

Oh neat, AC drones after we destroy very first drone! #AC assist
