Is there any idea for a Category Extension Leaderboard being added? I think there would be many possibilities for interesting or funny runs in Satisfactory which could be more about the exploring factor of the game. For example something like collecting a certain number of Slugs or Hard Drives or visiting specific points on the map. Or just reaching amounts of items like a full storage box of modular frames or any other item which requires a bit of automation.
The old runs seem no longer possible in the new update but the thing thats interesting is that the time 1-80 dont seem changed. I contacted the support to ask about that problem but i didn´t got an answer yet.
Also to prove the game is slower i tried to recreate your Speedrun of Monkey Meadows the run starts at 24 sec
But if the Task Bar has to be shown it should also be required to show loading the Game from home screen because of Challenges you can create with all kinds of crazy stuff like faster bloons or less bloons
We should have the run uncut as well but i think there is something changed in the game to run slower from round 1-40 in the new version because in solo there is also a time loss (30s), but the overall speed 1-80 looks unchanged looking at my run of Spice Islands and a easy run on Winter Park as examples.
Edit: Or maybe there is monkey knowledge which makes a difference . Also i dont think showing the task bar makes any difference .
