Basic Any% route

If you were to try to use the EGO-NET teleporter to Chapter 7 before "completing" chapter 6, It would refuse you, saying it is "Initialising".
The current route that I found is initially downloading through the door to the chapter 5 exit, going through the loading zone and back to cause the chapter 5 end. When you go back to the bug free zone room, you will find the call button for the elevator to chapter 6 will be active, allowing you and bug 0 access to there.
Then, in order to activate the chapter 7 teleporter, you will need to activate the elevator back to the GOD dock normally, I usually use the bug in the nearby crate. If done correctly, the teleport to chapter 7 should be active if you picked up the EGO NET key in the tutorial area.
For chapter 7, all you need to do is go to the Executor's terminal and activate it, I use the pipe to residential near the stairs. From there I download through the door on the MUM's side and use the PUP to activate the terminal.
Then I download through the doors to the spaceport to the taxi. I do find that they tend to cause "NO PATH FOUND" inconsistantly, so research is needed
For chapter 8, the DEV.exe seems to be mandatory, so going into its room is needed, and pick up the GOD username there. Next for the password, the eye-pad in the GOD is the easiest. With the GOD open, you can start the bug hunt.
On easy difficulty, you only need to find 2 bugs, and I use the bug near the god, and bug THUNK on the lowest level.
