Hello Speedruners,

The votes are now in, and 60% favor the debug settings of:

show-fps, show-clock, show-multiplayer-waiting-icon, show-multiplayer-statistics, show-tile-grid, and show-blueprint-grid

the current (now former) allowed list is/was:

show-fps, show-multiplayer-statistics, and show-tile-grid.

The game rules will now be changed from:

• The "Category Rules" must also be observed.
• 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 the debug mode is forbidden except for the options "show-fps", "show-multiplayer-statistics", and "show-tile-grid".
