If you look at the previous runs you will notice a plant we put the dinos next to, that is what heals them. hopefully that helps let me know if you need anymore help with the run

look to be honest from dong the run i dont think "resetting for rng" will ever save time just due to the nature of things taking ages so I think we are all overthinking this

well if they intentionally die and then reset to get better rng, AND it is shown, aka they are looking for a tame and tame it after they intentionally die.

I also think there a "gray areas" the rule of whether it was intentional or not so I think it should be discussed among mods when someone does reset

We have discussed this in private but to put my opinion publicly, 1. yes it should 2. I think game session length should be no shorter than 30 minutes (apart from one or two exceptions during the run if someone suddenly had to leave), I also think they should be able to back up at any time, but just let the mods know if they ever use that checkpoint. however they should only be able to use the checkpoint for the following reasons (if they die, and not for reseting for spawn rng)

I have noticed in missions like mortain counter attack and carentan counterattack the starting troops are decided by the ones you completed the last mission with. is there a way to not let this happen/ are there any rules around those two missions in individual level runs since they are heavily dictated by their previous mission?

do you guys have a discord or something? I noticed you are a very small/new speed running game and was wondering if you were planning on having a discord to discuss strats etc.

I have been doing a lot of testing on island default and have found ways to cheese every single boss. Broodmother I use a megatherium (that is used throughout the run). monkey i do the same strategy that bishokukai uses. for dragon I use around ten hyeadons with about 300% damage plus the megatherium, i use a shotgun plus a dimorphdon to skip the fireball and spawning stages of the dragon. for the overseer I use a procopodon and a dimorph to first get through the tek cave easily (be careful of microraptors and yutys). there is a spot in the overseer arena that can be jumped to similar to the manticore on scorched earth. also for the snow cave and the cunning cave just do suicide runs if anyone is interested I can make some tutorials on the strategies.

I agree we need to discuss the rules, on the specifics of the rules. and on your second point I think it is a good idea to give that option to players doing longer runs I can put it in the discord so they can get it checked before they run

As farm as I am aware the rules for multiplayer have not been redone. And after watching some other games that have coop I was thinking that instead of choosing non dedicated or dedicated we could have both. Although non dedicated is limited I think it is more accessible and would create a more fun experience and some new possible strats even through the tether limits. Maybe for now keep dedicated off limits as I don't think there has been a decided way of doing it so it can be verified consistently. If you don't want to edit the leader boards for it I more than happy to become a mod again since I'm running the game again (if you guys are ok with it).

look i don't really care, but just to clear things up you our self said you were friends with cupcake, also I banned based of multiple offences spamming being a bit low key racist (although I wouldn't call it racist but still not needed). Also although it technically wasn't in the rules although is in the new one is be respectful of other people in the discord which you guys were not doing in the other one repeatedly. Either way your welcome to join the new discord but just be respectful of others its not a shitposting discord

well the only runner involved i know of was lanky, the rest were just his friends as far as im aware

we have already made one but we are just setting it up if i can get contact with bisho then we can make it official

or it least remove the discord link from the site

the current discord has been griefed and Liam has just left the sever and given everyone admin so we need a new discord sever

technically we cant verify multiplayer runs as of right now just because the rules for them are getting rewritten. but do what maverick says and we can verify it once multiplayer rules have been rewritten. and yes you can do any type of run. If i were you i would practice with ur friend but not actually go for official run until the new rules are certain.

yea fair enough i think generally speaking we should have an unspoken rule of if you submit a run with minor settings wrong that we have to check doesn't actually affect the run for example fuel consumption then it gets verifed but a warning is issued and if they submit their next run with wrong settings even if minor then it gets declined. as a one time accident is understandable but continually ignoring the rules even if minor should result in the run being rejected.

if you are referring to the run i declined for low xp and tame multipliers that also had high fuel consumption. I of course agree with you if the run was a full run or apex but the was a quick auto turret which does have an impact on the run due to the use of fabricators etc.

also as a side note can you please scroll through your settings slower in runs, cause its extremely hard to see your settings even on 0.25 speed. and it does explicitly say in the rules to make it easily visible to mods.

Look I'll be honest the rules/rates where designed for full run. QOB as you put it for crazy people and personally I think it shouldn't be a speedrun due to its nature. I like apex due to its nature of being reasonable, and auto turret (although a little weird) is also reasonable in regard to their goal. Where as queen of beasts was made to be unreasonably long and tedious so I don't think it deserves increased default rates cause at that point just go do easy

set it to what ever it is on singleplayer

I honestly couldn't care but frosty's idea seems fine. that being said i dont think anyone is going to run this. personally i think we need more difficulties of any% so we can have categories that dont have as boosted rates but are still more manageable that default that clearly has very little interest
