New Game+ only has gotten a single entry in this version, so I expect it's not needed to expand on these categories that much. However people can run whatever custom category they like and are not restricted to the official ones here on the platform. Usually we wait for new categories to have 2 valid runs before adding it to the leaderboard.

We split the leader-board.

The plan was to think about GDQ, when the game is realeased.

we run a hard line on not allowing mods, because if we allow one there may be a precedent to allow others, too. There could be some edge-cases coming up, where a mod could give an unfair advantage we don't want to handle with. Also you could modify the mod and cheat with them. For that reason we decided to not allow any mods. There is free software like "livesplit", or you smartphones stopwatch, that can help you to track realtime without an ingame mod. Also, just open a new thread for a different topic next time please.

I reviewed the run and corrected the final time to RTA being 4h 34m 45s (previos 4h 34m 25s). Also we are in contact with Bubix, explaining him the rules. I'm sure we will submit the correct time the next time.

Hi, I have a somewhat weird request.

I want you to remove a moderator from "Factorio" called "Xedre". He had been Moderator since I took over the Moderation in Factorio 4 Years ago by a request in the Forum. He has never been active or moderating anything for this game in these 4 years, but requested this Game at the very beginning. I don't even know him. Since he is still listed as the first Moderator, but isn't responsible for anything, he's possibly better of removed to prevent the case of any user contacting him for a request.

The discussion about rulechanges is now open on the factorio speedrunnung discord https://discord.gg/antielitz

If you are a speedrunner that submitted a run in 0.15 or 0.16 join the discord and ask for access to the discussion channel. The discussion will close in about a week.

We will have a major 0.17 rule changes discussion once the new version is released. All Speedrunners are invited to join the discussion, make rule change proposals and vote on the results eventually.

Nice, I think that is a reasonable challenge to start with!

thanks for posting. This was unintentionally and I fixed it.

Go for it, if somebody else picks it up too and it becomes a competitive Category it will be added.

Thanks for the information. The Submission was rejected with the reason: "No valid video proof"

The work-group for 100% unanimously came to the result to change rules to allow blueprint import, but ban set seed

There is no Integration for Livesplit in Factorio, it's just an overlay in OBS. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials for livesplit in gengeral, just google for them.

Voting Results:

Voting has been closed. Rule changes will be stated and released shortly.

The Discord Channel for the "0.16 Speedrun rule change discussion" is now open, if you are a Speedrunner and have any requests or want to be part of the discussion follow the link below AND ask any Mod or Admin to add you to the channel.

that is correct, however it turned out to be fastest to just use one map.

You're always free to contact me and ask for help. Best way to contact me is on my Discord, which is - as of now - more or less the Factorio Speedrunning Community Discord. https://discord.gg/EakEWTf - @sgstair You should just have asked me for a save. Would have made stuff easier :D .
