Maze Master - Earth Connection

MAZE MASTER – EARTH CONNECTION … A Puzzle Survival Scenario

Do You like PUZZLES and CHALLENGES ?
Can You Work Under PRESSURE ?
Then this Scenario may be for YOU.

This is the SECOND CHAPTER in the MAZE MASTER story.
Travel in style towards the New Earth Maze, only to find you are trapped enroute.
Can you SAVE the MASTER’S PRIDE and reach the EARTH MAZE?

This VOICE ACTED STORY has a complex series of puzzles set on a SPECTACULAR TRAIN running over 100 Km of track.
But you only have LIMITED TIME, so don’t spend too long admiring the train or the passing countryside.

GAME DESIGN
In this Survival Scenario you will have to solve puzzles QUICKLY to survive.
How far do you think you can get before you fail? How many attempts will it take you to succeed?
The EARTH CONNECTION challenge has been constructed for Single Player with no weapons, tools or jet pack.
You are extremely unlikely to finish this on you first attempt, so make sure you have a clean SAVE FILE.
Once the train leaves the station, you will have about 1 hour to solve the puzzles and save the train before you get to the Earth Maze. This “1 Hour”, may vary considerably depending on performance at the time.

SUCCESS GRADIENT
There are 2 ways to gauge success in the scenario if you are competing with a friend in the challenge…
PRIMARY… How many attempts needed to reach the goal?
. 1 . . . = You Cheated
. 2-3 . = Probably Cheated or had loads of help.
. 4-5 . = Excellent Engineer
. 6-9 . = Average Engineer
. 10+ . = Idiot Engineer
SECONDARY… How much loot did you recover?
. There are 100 GOLD INGOTS and 1,000,000 SPACE CREDITS on the train. How much can you recover as you work your way around the carriages?

INTERACT USING BUTTONS ONLY
I’m not clever enough to prevent you using exposed control panels BUT THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ACCESSED.
You should be able to get through the maze using the BUTTON PANELS and COCKPIT CONTROLS ONLY.
If anyone has better ways to block off access, please let me know.

MODS
Most of the Mods are brought over with Hanels Train blueprint and are simply to make it look great.
In addition, there are Sound and Images Mods that that I’ve made to tell the story.
To get the most out of the unique sounds, I recommend turning the IN-GAME MUSIC OFF. These unique sounds will often give you clues to the consequences or your actions and direction.

!!! - WARNING - !!!
This is by far the most complex Scenario I have created for SPACE ENGINEERS.
This Scenario will test YOU and your PC. The train is a modified version of one of HANEL’s exquisite creations, which was already very elaborate before I got my hands on it.
Add to this, the fact that I am not clever and cannot code. So the puzzles use logic gates with a lot of timers (which will impact on the SIM Speeds).
SIM Speeds will vary depending on how busy the timers are in the background. So don’t be surprised if a 10 second countdown is a bit longer.
Whilst the train is absolutely stunning, consider lowering graphics settings to help your computer.
HOWEVER… I think the story is engaging enough to put up with a bit of lag, and I hope you will still enjoy it.

SCENARIO FAQ’s
Q. – What will I get from playing this scenario?
A. – A better understanding of how you and your computer can work under pressure.

Q. – What will I need to play this scenario?
A. – A brain. You may also find a note pad and pen helpful, unless you have a photographic memory.

Q. – Do I have to play the MAZE MASTER – MOON MADNESS. chapter first?
A. – Nope. Although there is a Loyalty Scheme in place if you can remember the Password from the last chapter.

Q. – The screen has frozen?
A. – Be patient. There is probably a massive explosion going on somewhere in the world (Hopefully not near you).

Q. – Door traps are slow to release me?
A. – Be patient as SIM speeds vary. Timers are set assuming SIM Speed = 0.5. For me the worst playthrough had SIM Speed = 0.3 (which was slow but still playable).

Q. – Can I finish the story in time if I have low SIM Speed?
A. – Yes. The SIM Speed effects all parts of the story. You will move slower, but so will the train.

Q. – Can you really complete this in time?
A. – Yes (eventually). Your first attempts will be to locate information. Once you know the answers, you will find time is not an issue.

Q. – I’m stuck! Can you help?
A. – I’ll try. Put your question in the SPOILERS Discussion.

Q. – I found something wrong!
A. – Nothing is ever perfect. Let me know about real issues in the BUGS Discussion and I can try and fix it for future updates.

SPECIAL THANKS
A HUGE THANKS to HANELS for allowing me to destroy his beautiful Train.
His amazing creations saved me weeks of work.
