In the interest of keeping things fair, the rules have been updated to limit the turbo rate to a max of 7 presses per second. Runners must now show their turbo settings in their run videos if they use turbo. Since unlimited turbo speed gave an advantage, my previous runs using turbo have been added to a now-archived category called 'Any% Unlimited Turbo', so they will not show up on the main leaderboard. I have also updated the turbo setup guide for controllers and added a new guide for setting up turbo with KBM using AutoHotKey.

Patch notes from the v1.0.2 update that might affect speedrunning:

• Added an extra column of slots to the inventory, increasing the number of inventory slots from 16 to 20.
• Added a 60-minute period of “biome protection” that is triggered whenever a biome is 100% cleaned. During this period, no goop or litter will respawn in that biome.
• When the final biome is 100% cleaned, there is a “global protection” period that starts and prevents goop from respawning in all biomes. The duration of this protection period has been extended from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. It now also prevents litter from respawning during this period.
• The Scrap Vac is now made available to order at the Shipping Station after entering Tangle Bay for the first time. The previous trigger for this unlock (entering a cloud of microplastics) is still active.
• Shortened the delay before auto-deposit kicks in when holding a piece of litter in front of a Recycle Bot and increased the auto-deposit drop rate.

Additionally, I have adjusted the categories on this Speedrun.com page. The Any% speedruns are no longer separated by game version (aside from the demo) and there is now an annotation for the game version when submitting a run. This change was made so we don't have to keep adding categories for each new game version.

Select v1.0.1 Patch Notes

• Increased boost speed multiplier by 10%.

• Increased the duration of the default and upgraded boost.

• Reduced the boost meter recharge delay.

• Increased boost meter regeneration speed.

• Increased default Scrap Vac capacity from 10,000 to 15,000 microplastics.

• Increased upgraded Scrap Vac capacity from 15,000 to 30,000 microplastics.

• Increased Scrap Vac deposit speed.

• Added additional targeting logic to detect when an item has somehow become lodged inside of a wall or other collider. Those items will now be targetable and collectable.

Due to these dramatic changes, I am separating the Any% categories into v1.0.0 and v1.0.1!
