My most difficult challenge map ever!


EDIT: The missing final hour is available here: https://youtu.be/vXaHiwpKEj0
Youtube automatically cuts replays of livestreams at 12 hours and just deletes the rest... So, I re-recorded it offline, and uploaded the missing gameplay including the launch of Ben the Legendary SpaceFish at the link above.

I will be playing a "Horrible Map Seed"-challenge map on DeathWorld settings, and I'm given only 12 hours to complete the map.
This will be the most difficult challenge I've ever attempted by far, and it might not even be possible at all (I did an opening test run and got stomped severely)

Viewer Bane Williams challenged me to try this map, and he offered to put up $100 to a charity of my choice IF I can beat the map in 12 hours or less. The charity of my choice is the Honnold foundation: https://www.honnoldfoundation.org/



EDIT: $250 has been donated to the Honnold Foundation ($100 Bane + $150 me ($100 matched + 2 deaths! x $25). See also my community post.

Full rules:
- If I beat the map in 12 hours or less by the ingame timer, Bane Williams donates $100 to the Honnold Foundation
- If I FAIL the above challenge, I myself will donate $100 to the Honnold foundation instead.


Because it's a live / marathon event, it's very possible I die in battle, and to not end the stream/challenge on the spot, I've been given a maximum of 3 reloads in case of death. But, to prevent me from savescumming:

- If I beat the challenge but with the use of the above reloads, l'll add +$25 per reload to Bane's donation.
- No pre-designed blueprints (like in speedruns)
- Research queue enabled, and I will occasionally make use of some debug settings to illustrate a point, mainly in the opening.


(I chose the Honnold foundation as I've been following Alex Honnold's career for years, and he's one of my biggest inspirations in life, both as an athlete as as a person. Also, by choosing a small organization, the hopes are that less money is 'lost' to overhead costs).

If you miss (parts of) it, the stream will be available to watch in full length on YouTube, which will give you something to watch between the finale of Biter Island DeathWorld and the start of the next series. (by the way, why is this map so difficult? Even more so than biter island deathworld? Well, it's the "Horrible Map Seed"-part... For obvious reasons, most people reroll to find the most favorable map seeds to play on, and I did the same for biter island deathworld, where I rejected many map seeds and in the end selected the least impossible map seed. Selecting one of the worst map seeds adds a whole new different challenge... it's gonna be interesting!). Please keep in mind I'm not a professional/regular streamer/speaker, but I did purchase a professional microphone since the last stream, so at least the audio quality should be good!

I hope to see you all this saturday!
All the best,
Michael
