Duskers Daily 16 May 2020 [TUTORIAL]
Channel: Mustika S. A.

Challenge starts at 20:23 because once I start to info-dump what I know about Duskers Daily Challenge and its game mechanics, I will go HARD enough on it. Sadly that doesn't mean I'm going to be efficient at it.
Other things that I didn't explain in my super lengthy speech here about what I know about Duskers Daily Challenge (which also involves general knowledge about Duskers missions):
- There is a coin-toss every 10 minutes of mission time where it'll decide whether there will be corrupted close command or not, signed by red `Derelict no longer responding to 'close' command.` on your console along with hard beeps, in which this state will occur until the rest of your run. I don't think it's decided by ship age for being the ones having the most of this, it's completely random. At this state though, you can still open and close the airlock you're currently docking to freely, but for the rest of the doors, you may want to start to strategically opening it. If you don't have best strategy about this, may as well just leave the mission for your very safety. At least you should be fine in only-slime mission since they never move to other rooms...
- A very guaranteed method to move an infestation from one room to another is by giving a single access to the next room you want it to lead towards. For rough example, d3 is between r2 and r3, and d4 is between r3 and r4. You wanted to lead a moving infestation from r2 to r4, so you open d3 first to lead it to r3, then as soon as it's in r3, open d4 and you ALWAYS want to close d3 so it doesn't have a chance to go back to r2 since you want to move it to r4.
-- Sentry bot will always move to new rooms in a go though, so it'll always go to r4 once it's in r3 when you open both d3 and d4.
-- Leaper/brute seems to have this very tendency to always move to the right side of the ship when you give it access. It will still go back to the previous room it went to once it has found its very right room you locate it to, and you don't close the door at. Take this info with precaution.
- Leaper/brute will IMMEDIATELY jump towards your unstealthed drone once you're in the same room as it. This is very dangerous in completely thin, long/wide rooms, because you can get stuck in some ways, so it's recommended to go back to the previous rooms as soon as you get hit.
- Swarm will not immediately jump towards your unstealthed drone, but it can detect your drone when you're next to the swarm room. You won't be able to outrun their speed unless you have Speed Boost I drone upgrade installed on your drone and all the `close all` commands you can get, including your airlock quick-close (check my alias.txt for reference below). You can also use this info to move swarms quickly, providing you know what to do next.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

You will need Shield otherwise.)
