Hi, I'm having trouble finding an explanation of what the categories for this game are, can anyone help me?
Sure, @GeneralPhats. I had a hard time finding the rules for the categories as well.
You can find them by clicking one of the levels or records. There should be a "View rules" button in the top right. Navigate to different category tabs to see their rules.
To summarize the categories:
Base - "Open the Scenario from the 'Start New Game' menu. Complete the scenario's goals as fast as possible. Time begins the moment the map is loaded, and ends when the message detailing your completion of the scenario occurs. Fast Forwarding/Pausing is NOT allowed"
Jan1 - "Players are allowed to save a version of the scenario to be loaded from the 'Load Saved Games' menu, as long as that version is saved on January 1st of the starting year. This allows withdrawal of necessary loans, learn the map, etc. Fast Forwarding/Pausing is NOT allowed"
FF - "Open the Scenario from the 'Start New Game' menu. Complete the scenario's goals as fast as possible. Fast Forwarding/Pausing is allowed"
i have one thing ask can i use train mods? say SD40-2 loco or freight cars and etc.
@ChessiepeakandOhio unfortunately no mods are allowed. You can make a separate installation on your computer for speedruns and delete the mods in it. That is what I have done.
