📢 April/May 2025 Rules & Category Updates Recap 📢

Hey runners! Here's a quick summary of recent updates and changes from our Discord to keep everyone up to speed:

General Rules Updates

• All runs must use the Landfall Speedrunning Tools mod and keep the QR code visible during map selection.

• No external applications or unapproved mods — only those on our whitelisted mods list are allowed.

• In the Difficulty settings, you may use Chill, Steady, or Sprint presets, but do not adjust individual sliders. If it says "Custom," your settings are invalid.

Category Changes

• Difficulty subcategories have been removed — choose any preset, just follow the rules above.

• Any% Glitchless has been retired for now; all runs have been moved to Any%. It'll return if a major skip or glitch is found.

• Any% All Items has been retired due to confusion with save types — New Game is now the standard.

• 100% now means unlocking all items and abilities and manifesting all items — upgrades are no longer required.

• Any% Set Seed clarified: you now use individual seeds per shard, not one for the whole run.

Miscellaneous Updates

• The first forced level no longer counts toward shard node totals when using tools or route planning.

• We're now whitelisting non-gameplay-altering mods in our Discord — check #whitelisted-mods and submit requests in #suggestions.

• IL and demo timing now supports milliseconds to the thousandth. Update your LiveSplit settings if you want to display this automatically!

Reminder

Please join the Discord for more recent updates and to keep up with everyone in the community.

Thanks and keep those PBs coming!
