The "Seeded" category in individual levels (or individual ships) uses pre-approved ship files, so that everyone concurs with the exact same ship (as opposed to free play, where the ship is generated randomly).
The category plays in career mode, and the ship you're running has to be loaded in your hangar.
Load ships automatically with the Shipbreaker Companion tool
The easiest way to run this category is to use the Shipbreaker Companion.
The tool will list your game profiles and show you a list of all runnable ships. Just pick your profile and click the "Load" button matching the ship you want to run. You don't need to close the game between two loads, but just make sure you go back to the menu before switching.
I'm developing this tool, so please contact me if you're having issues with it.
Load ships manually if you cannot/don't want to use tools
This section is there only for runners who do not want to use the previously mentioned tool.
- Download the .ship file matching the category you want to run in the Resources section.
- Copy the file to the following directory: "%AppData%..\LocalLow\Blackbird Interactive\Hardspace_ Shipbreaker\Saves\Profiles"
- Rename the file to have the same name as the profile you want to attach it to, but without changing the .ship extension. For instance, "vglpp3_250774108.ship".
Just like with the tool, you have to make sure you're not already in career mode before switching your .ship file. It's loaded when you select Career in the menu.
Get a maxed save file with the Shipbreaker Companion tool
Because Open Shift has no time limit, it is ideal for this category, so it is advised to play in that mode.
Another feature of the Shipbreaker Companion tool (see link in the previous mention) is to download and install an Open Shift save file with enough LYNX points to buy all upgrades.
To do that, in the Companion tool, just click the "Install "Open Shift Full" save" button below your profiles. If you already had an Open Shift save, you'll also need to select it and click "Disable this profile" (don't worry, this won't delete your save, you'll be able to reactivate it at any time).
Get a maxed save file without the Shipbreaker Companion tool
If you don't want to use the Companion tool or cannot use it, you can still download the profile save from GitHub.
Once downloaded, copy the file to the following directory: "%AppData%..\LocalLow\Blackbird Interactive\Hardspace_ Shipbreaker\Saves\Profiles".
If you already had an Open Shift profile, you'll need to find which .lpw file it is and either move or delete it.
Welcome to the brand new Hardspace: Shipbreaker leaderboard here on speedrun.com.
I just finished the initial set up. It's very barebones for now, but I would like the input of other speedrunners or just people interested in this game to decide where to go next. I'm sure we can think of other (ho
