Hello, importing blueprints either from string or your blueprint library is not allowed, even if you don’t place them. Mousing over them in blueprint library should be fine. Opening a blueprint to look at it or holding it over your base is not allowed, as it provides significant advantage. If you need to reference a blueprint, you can take a screenshot or use a second instance of the game on another monitor.

The new SRC admin team is:

• AntiElitz
• seky16
• GlassBricks
• Phredward
• pantabo

After coordinating with the past team, we are starting the term now (just 1 week early). seky16 and Phredward were also part of the past term's team and can help smooth the transition.

Hello,

the moderator team is elected and voted on by the community every 6 months.

You are welcome to submit the run and join the community discord and get involved there. You can then propose yourself and run for the moderator in the elections next time they happen (scheduled for this December).

You can see the previous results here.

Recent discovery of a bonus productivity exploit (fixed in 1.1.110) when crafting machine ingredients were force returned (exploit video description) have sparked discussion about how to handle such cases of using bugs/glitches/exploits in speedrunning.

There's currently a vote happening on whether to adapt the current rules for these cases or not. Check the discussion here, you can find the vote link on the bottom of the channel or in the pinned message. Make sure you read all the discussion and understand it before you cast your vote.

@cowardlycamper32 That would be possible, but the rules don't allow any mods to be used for the speedrun submission to be valid

Results of the new admin team election system are as follows:

As the previous Board of Admins' term has ended, elections for the new admin team took place as well. The new term will last for half a year and will end on the first of December. These are the final results:

The top 5 candidates all agreed to work together so we are thrilled to announce that the new Admin Team will consist of the following members: seky16, iron0308, Phredward, rAzzlington and Pitta.

not really competitive, but 3rd place is 3rd place

IIRC it's frowned upon at least in the 100% category, because the achievements aren't bound to the save. But I'm not sure it's actually exploitable

Rules are rules and they are there for a reason. The command list was a long disscussion during last rule votings and have been agreed and voted upon by the Factorio speedrunning community. While unfortunate (speaking as a member of the run), there's nothing we can do about it now.
