Let's talk about the speed run categories and rules, for instance, tier 1-4 multiplayer, should it include all the extra milestones from the M.A.M or not? A tier 1 through 6 category should be created for those who want to do long speed runs. We should discuss rules and stuff here.

it would be cool if there was a tier 1 through 4 (all basic milestones in all 4 tiers, so the ones it gives you and not the M.A.M), id love to try run this

the tier 1-4 multiplayer is an outdated category, speedrun.com got reset and i didnt find the time to redo everything. generally the mam will not be included in the speedrun exept if explictily said so by the rules for example in the 100% category

there should be differently categories for the different maps? i think its fiar considering one map is so much easier to speedrun than another etc.

Posted our current 2 player world record run on Reddit. Seems the impression of package% category is that is too easy. How about using the following categories ? Similair to the wiki page https://satisfactory.gamepedia.com/Space_Elevator

Main categories:

• Any % Unlock Tier 3-4
• Any % Unlock Tier 5-6

Subcategories:

• Solo
• 2 players
• 3 players
• 4 players
• 5+ players

If possible I am more then willing to help out as admin or mod to maintain this.

Package% too easy? There is a big variance in time for the current records so I wouldn't say it's easy personally. I wouldn't mind maybe seeing a couple additional longer runs to tier 4 or 6 though.

i would love longer runs, there's more time to narrow down little mistakes and so much more that can be improved in longer runs

Personally I think that there should be categories for: -All hub upgrades -1st package -2nd package -tiers 1-4 -Tiers 1-6 With these categories we will make everyone happy. There are short runs for people who don't have a lot of time to do speedruns, and there are longer runs for those who want to spend the time on them. Another point of discussion, though, is what we should do with multiplayer on these runs. I think there should be a 1 player, 2 player, and 4 player option for all categories. Past that I really am not sure what we should do. If we make 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8+ players an option for all of the categories we will have way to many run categories. I think at least 1, 2, and 4 players is all we need for now unless someone really wants to do a run with more people.

^Agreed with above. That would give a good mix and would satisfy everybody. As far as MP: 1, 2, and 4 should be the only multiplayer categories as well, Or maybe just 1, 2, 3 is alright too IMO.

First post, not really sure if non-runners are supposed to put their opinion in so sorry if this isn't allowed.

Personally I'd be interested in seeing a run to 'Coal%', as getting coal power is the first major stage in the game that changes how you can build IMO and now with the introduction of fluids in Update 3 it takes a lot more planning.

With the last update, why not a speedun until the first load in the elevator ? (without skiping intro)

Speedrun until the 3rd and last (for now) load in the elevator could be nice (Solo & Multi) Zerator (a French streamer) created the "Marathonfinement" : an event occuring during COVID-19 containment aimed at occupying his community with some challenges to perform including this exact speedrun. It brought 150+ players (solo & duo) to participate and it was pretty well received. The winners won the challenge within 10h30. I think this category would bring some players over it

Hello

Is it possible to split update 2 and update 3 from Satisfactory ?

I submited a speedrun yesterday in update 3 (its really longer than update 2) And my run is in the same category than the update 2.

Thanks a lot

HI

I got an idea from the reddit page of a Package% run with skipping the intro?? or maybe a 2Package%??

Hiya, can we consider a category for 100% Single Player runs ? I mean all tiers + milestones + MAM research + maybe drives ? It will take a hell of a lot of time, my first attempt was super unoptimized at ~42 hours but I think I can half that, at least. Also for such a long category maybe skip of the intro can be granted ? Since we'll all have the same starting point anyway and won't have a big enough disadvantage between players, in my opinion :)

Also I noticed that console commands are not allowed ? Even the one for clearing the fog ? Is that correct ?

There should be package% with no crash sites allowed.
