This speedrun can only have 2 routes one starting with the game completed already with all digsites unlocked or the beginning of the game where you must play the whole game. I would like to know which it is. Thank you in advanced.

I mean, we could have separate categories in which we do either NG+, Any%, or even postgame.

Why Any% feels like a waste of an any% run

This feels like a pretty odd category, to be honest. If you have the game already done, then it's literally just optimizing movement. If you do it in Any%, like Falcon said, it's just a waste of an Any% run. I think it'd be better if you started from the postgame. The only questions I have would be: Is there going to be a certain required starting position (i.e. from the helipad of any of the 3 islands)? And what counts as the back wall for certain digsites with more than one area? i.e. pretty much every site.

Okay so I thought It through and I think I have a pretty good answer to how this should be handled but it is still pretty much up to the mods to decide

1. Start after the game in the Postgame so that every digsite is unlocked
2. You choose a Helipad to start on from any of the 3 islands because then different routes are available
3. Time starts at first movement input
4. Time ends when you touch the back of the last digsite which is based on how you want to run it This feels like the best option for this run to me but is ultimately still up to the mods for final decision.

yeah this category kinda sucked tbh
