I see that modded runs aren't allowed for obvious reasons but why isn't there a separate category? If this could be added I would be very thankful

Hi, thanks for the question and suggestion.

However, I am not quite sure what exactly do you mean by "modded runs". What would be an objective of such speedrun? If you want a category to be added, you should ideally first run it yourself or link to an already existing run.

In addition to that, AJChimaera, our speedrun.com moderator, is not really in favour of runs that are using modifications to the base game as it is hard to check what exactly the active modification does.

Personally, I in general agree with that, but if you have an interesting idea, please don't be encouraged by that and feel free to suggest it.

Definitely open to suggestions but it must be considered that there are a lot of mods, some purely cosmetic, others that break the game balance entirely. If we were to add any categories, they would have to be constrained to very specific mods and there would have to be a good argument for why it would be special enough to warrant doing so.

Largely though the primary point is this is the leaderboard for speedrunning the game as created by the developer, not as a platform for user customisations.
