United StatesTiming ends when you select the teleport, and the animation begins. Congratulations on the 2:21 you two!

(this was probably added a year ago, but I decided to reply now to close the loop)
We do have No Major Glitches (NMG) which functions as "Any% without a lot of difficult speed tech"... but it does sound like you're specifically asking for something new.
I've personally completed a run without digging with the terrain tool which was quite fun! I'd recommend it as a personal challenge.

If you do get around to recording a new category attempt, please be sure to reach back out and share it with us! I'm excited to see what you come up with!
Almost all of the threads here are asking for new categories to be made. I want to start off by celebrating the creativity on display here! These are fun threads to read, and completely fine. I'm excited to see lots of folks interested in speedrunning Astroneer while sharing new ideas for challenges and speedrun categories!
Being that Astroneer is a sandbox adventure at its core... there are plenty of ways to start and stop a timer! The trouble comes down to the fact that there are only a handful of runners actually recording their attempts, and most of the categories we already have are quite inactive.
As moderators, our stance has been that we're not very interested in maintaining categories that would potentially only ever have 1 run. I'd encourage anyone to share playthroughs featuring a new category or challenge like that on a personal Youtube channel or even here in the threads!
The conversation is a lot more productive if you've already completed a recorded run before suggesting that a new category be made. More so if you're not the only person doing so! We definitely want to encourage new categories or runners. But we're simply not going to add a category if there aren't any runs at all... that would only clutter the board.
This won't guarantee that your category will show up on the boards here... but will help create a starting point to help others join in the competition for the new category itself as we identify rules and criteria.
If you're a new runner just getting started, I'd encourage you to try running Core% and Orbit%, as they're fast and easy to pick up before reaching out to suggest a brand new category of your own.
TL;DR: If you would like to request a new category be made, we ask that you pair the request along with your own attempt.
Thanks y'all!
This is the best news! Sorry for the delay, great job on your excellent run together!
Is there a separate video with FruityBobs' perspective?
I apologize, as I updated the rules for coop a little over a year ago requesting that both players have video footage. I checked here and on Youtube, and I don't see a link to the other player's perspective... and I hate to be the bearer of bad news...
If you head to the leaderboard for Orbit % - Coop, and click the rules, you should see:
Co-op runs should include an additional link for each player's perspective in a different video in the description.
Is there a chance it was saved or could be salvaged? Or would I be making both of you re-attempt?
I'll update the rules. Thank you for the callout!
Do I need to add a new version to the versions list?
Cool use of the starting items in a run. I bet there's a lot of room to figure out an optimal item route here.
I should update the rules. Only one player needs to launch a shuttle to finish the run. Making the shuttle seat is just a bonus :)
