Challenger Ruleset
2 months ago
United States

After some discussion, we have adopted a challenger ruleset for top 5 runs (top 3 for category extensions). https://discord.com/channels/260103071017730048/390245480036040704/1284245154441723906

Where save games were required, they are now required to be replays.

The rules are now updated with all new rules

Thanks!

old rules:

• The "Category Rules" must also be observed.

• Unless specified otherwise, the run must be performed using the default "Freeplay" scenario

• Runs are verified against the rules that were valid at the time of the run.

• Submissions require a permanent video proof.

• The run must be performed on a version that was the latest stable or experimental version within 48 hours of the start of the run.

• Runs that used bugs that become fixed in later versions may be invalidated depending on the bug, on a case by case basis that anyone can open.

• The usage of mods is forbidden.

• The usage of features that are intended to be admin only is forbidden.

• The usage of commands is forbidden, except for the commands on the following allow list: https://www.speedrun.com/factorio/guides/rbxlg

• The usage of game breaking bugs is forbidden, by community vote the following list of bugs/glitches/exploits is denied for use in any Factorio Speedrun: https://www.speedrun.com/factorio/guides/r7fs8

• The usage of the debug mode is forbidden except for the options "show-fps", "show-clock", "show-multiplayer-waiting-icon", "show-multiplayer-statistics", "show-tile-grid", and "show-blueprint-grid".
