Hi! I just completed my first deathworld marathon speedrun and it was the best worst base I've ever built :D

I followed similar rules to default settings, random seed (i. e. really, really good seed) and not using imported blueprints. I used save/reload trick to fight biters.

Time: 12h 56m 44s

I have to split the video in two because it is over 12h. EDIT: game starts at 53:57

I reran the map in set-seed, segmented fashion and got sub 6h! It happened like so:

segment 1: 0h 34m - early battle base, attack 7 nests

segment 2: 1h 04m - red science, 2nd iron

segment 3: 1h 36m - green science, black science (paused), car, attack 9 nests

segment 4: 2h 03m - 3rd iron, oil, blue science

segment 5: 2h 26m - aop, 2nd copper

segment 6: 2h 51m - robots, paste ghosts, full flame turret wall defense

segment 7: 3h 16m - speed modules, big blue science, blueprint purple/yellow science

segment 8: 3h 47m - outposting while robots build purple/yellow

segment 9: 5h 40m - end game ingredients and rocket launch

Although even with perfect execution it has maybe about 50% chance of losing to random aggressive biter expansion xD . I stay on 1.1 since 2.0 doesn't have the expensive recipes T.T. I'm rerouting it from the beginning again to try to get the time down even further. But no idea if I can ever memorize all segments.

Awesome to see. Now do a full run and hope that more people try this challenge!
