Alright folks, it's been a week since 1.6 dropped and it's already been a wild start! So many new mechanics, QoL fixes, and general nonsense. We're going to start lifting the embargo here on 1.6 runs, sometime tonight the options should populate on SRC and you'll be able to select the new version. We've gotten feedback on a couple new categories/tweaks people would like so here's where we're starting: Main Board:
- Boat% - Complete the boat as fast as possible. Timing ends on purchase of the boat ticket (when the dialogue box begins to disappear after clicking Yes). (under Restoration)
Category Extensions:
- Perfection - Going to get a variable for the 3 different endings True | Joja No Waivers | Open . Timing/ruleset will end the same as before.
- Mayo% - Drink mayo (yuck). Timing ends on the close of the dialogue box saying Yes to drink it (yuck)/start of the drinking animation. (under Memes) [Posh rules apply - no cart]
- Milk & Cookies% - Easter Egg Spoiler: Leave out milk and cookies on a table for Santa. Timing ends when you pick up your presents on Winter 25. (under Memes) [Posh rules apply (no cart)]
In Progress for Main Board:
- Child% - Have a child as fast as possible. Timing ends on the pop up of the "During the night" message. We're trying to figure out how to slot this in under the marriage header without breaking the current run setup because SRC is jank.
Multiplayer Changes:
- We hear folks, the current setup is kind of a mess. We'll be adding the ability to add up to 8 players for now just to the base form. I wish we could do more granular controls on SRC but for now at least it'll have to do. The alternative is blocking submissions for a long time.
- We're going to be trialing a different "Obsolete" strategy (this is a new SRC feature!). We're swapping to "All Players": a run will be considered obsolete if an exact set of runners have improved their time (so if you ran with different groups, those may show up independently on the boards). Make sure to give us feedback, we can always swap back!
- Also if you wanna run Seeded Restoration categories with >4 people ... there's currently a glitch on SRC blocking us from updating just that section so maybe spend a bit more time routing it out...
Please keep sending in suggestions, we're always looking to get better and support the community!
Love - Mod Team
Voting is now finished and the Extensions Leaderboard is now live. Runs that survived the 2 rounds of votes - Perfection, 4 Candles, Hatmouse, Parsnip%, Talk to everyone, Posh%, Seaurchin%, Hidden note statues (??%), Skull Caverns 100, underwearsoup, Junimo Kart, Junimo Kart Progress Mode (and seeded Perfection and 4 Candles)
There are a few small differences for this leaderboard. Meme runs don't have multiplayer due to the length of (most) of the runs. There is only Glitchless for this leaderboard as well, with no plans on adding Vanilla (you can filter the leaderboard to show only no AC runs), NDE, or Glitches (due to the reduced glitches available on newer versions of the game).
Perfection will also allow for breaks in the runs, so if you do Perfection please be aware of the different requirements for recording and breaks.

Hello everyone. Hope everyone is well. If you haven't noticed the leaderboards now contain the new Vanilla category (for no animation canceling) and NDE (formerly Pasteless and NMG).
Now that those changes have been made we can start to consider additional categories. The below survey is to take ideas for these potential categories. After people have submitted ideas, we will hold a vote on whether you would run each category (to gauge popularity and to help determine which are added). https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQZF6kDzJzr48quNzAZt8TIpTHA9SF-5f9evWlVp6tIuKPRQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
After consideration of people's reasonings, opinions, and votes regarding tools in speedruns from late last year, here are the rulings.
(Vanilla/Glitchless) Allowable tools - simple images and spreadsheets are okay. Making edits mid-run to them are okay. Not allowed - moveable layer images, tools that pull seed info, or tools that automate searching for data.
NDE (no dialogue extension - pasteless rename) and Glitches Allowable tools - any tool that doesn't pull the game seed. Not allowed - a tool that pulls game seed or automates the searching for data.
Hopefully these will help future proof the rules for any tools not yet developed/considered ?
Seeded - any regular (not TAS) tool is allowed. No seed predictors in-game - planning can be done beforehand with them (including images). Regular category rules still apply (glitch, NDR, etc)
Hello everyone! Your friendly neighborhood mod here to welcome us all into the new year! We here at the mod team have a few announcements and reminders, as well as general updates for this awesome community.
Firstly, we are analyzing the responses of the survey sent out in the Discord regarding tool use, and we hope to have a definitive stance soon. While evaluating the responses and decided how to proceed with tools will take some time, the response for allowing 3:1 animation cancelling rebinding was overwhelmingly yes. Therefore, we will be allowing 3:1 rebinds for animation canceling only at this time. The rules will reflect this change soon.
Secondly, we hope to roll out the leaderboard revamp following the verdict on tool discussion. In less technical and more exciting news, Stardew Valley will be showcased in not one, but two marathons in the coming weeks! Community Center Glitched by olenoname will be at AGDQ on Friday, January 14th, EST. To view the schedule in your local timezone, click here: https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule
Additionally, on Sunday January 16th, Bla_De, piano_addict, cordite89 and TheHaboo will be showcasing a Mines 120 co-op run at indiethon. To view the schedule in your local timezone, click here: https://v2.oengus.io/en-GB/marathon/indiethon/schedule
Both stream links have also been added to the Discord as events for convenience. We’re looking forward to an eventful 2022! Thanks for taking the time to read this and have an amazing day!
