Polymind: This holiday season you are NOT the Cogmind



It's the end of another year, Cogmind's 10th, and to celebrate I put together a special event that turns the world on its head for an extremely different Cogmind-but-not-Cogmind experience: Polymind!

You can't use items yourself, but you can blend into Complex 0b10 by taking control of almost any robot

Rely on your host's capabilities to survive, or switch to another host when the need arises or circumstances force it... Be a Worker (really now...), be a Programmer (ooh), be a Behemoth (now we're talking), be almost anything. Also try not to be too suspicious and be a productive member of the Complex, or find a deadly host and suddenly unleash hell, only to mop up some patrols then return to work as an Engineer inconspicuously rebuilding the local area...

Check out the release notes for the full changelog and feature demos.

Cogmind "Encrypted Comms" is ready--welcome to Beta 12! Embrace the new Scrap Engine to create unique parts by feeding it other items, and explore significantly expanded Garrisons with major new rewards.
