Thank you very much !! Yes I think sub 20 is very possible. lower than 15 that is the question. I almost got the sub 20 after this (I found a fog mask in the chest of the ninja tower, but I was killed by spiders with 100 stealth at that part where you need to swim before I got to bugmaster)
Time spent manually paused does count towards your time. - this is bonkers, was this a mistake ? infinite shop time
Glad this is settled. I would have been super pissed if I did not die in that run last night. it was almost perfect until those damn spiders got in my path/ one of the only spots I had to swim !!
How about also a new category while we are at it - i think it would be fun but honestly we need more speed runners to keep the competition up - Hardcore - No Assassin Category !! <3
LMAO Atlas you King lol - I just got the updated Lore; however with a rule change like that i think i still have valid concerns.
These are my thoughts / I'm not a mod / it's not meant to be personal:
Last night I was attempting a new real world record, and basically at the very start of the run I need to sell something. there is a high chance the shop keeper does not have enough money, but not 0. so I need to quit and try again over and over. I must have done 40 or so starts last night (im trying to beat a new record of mine that is not public yet, but will be this tomorrow). so under this new rule 2 things are going to happen everyone speed running will need to re-verify game files before the run i think that take 20 mins or so then open the game show no mods show setting and start the run. in the above example there is a possibility of 1-10 fails before the real run take place, it is alot of bloat to the video or alot of time if you quit the game and re open, now you must also re-validate again another 20 mins. -OR- Make an edit in the video wich i have done in the past but making an edit anyone can splice in any footage with that.
the second thing that will happen is all past runs without game verification will become void and kenshi speed running will be reset to zero. (all runs without verification will be viewed as illegitimate.
in the bottom right side of the screen on the main game menu is the verison number, and yours is some "jimbads build". we have a human verify the runs & the videos are scrutinised by the community. although it might be hard to pick up subtle changes. its an interesting thought / concern, but idk how much of an issue it actually is.
Atlas: do you have an example of anyone (besides you) breaking the rules in the way you mentioned ?
Atlas - you do not have any legitimate runs so I don't understand your concern or motivation, please explain.
My motivation is that I have legitimate runs, and this rule would invalidate everyone's runs and possibly kill kenshi speed running. and it would also be a big pain to make new runs.
you are not using the current build of the game - is this the rule your looking for ? (bottom right of the main screen)
I am cold and logical like a skeleton don't take what I say personal. I can see that you care about the community; do some legitimate runs perhaps ?
mods ... clearly - is short for modified game files.
modification of the game is already ageist the rules of all runs.
semantic arguamnets are irrelevant. it's not the base game
any reloading; for any reason in HC invalidates the run. so I don't understand the point you are trying to make ?
- Reloading the game is not allowed; these runs are quick enough to where if your game crashes consider it over
- No 'stop selected characters actions'
- No Save Scumming (redunat - if the game is reloaded the run is over in HC )
Manual Pauses DO NOT count for time removal - did someone do this ?
using Modified Game files breaks the rules (No Mods)
I thought of this route about a week ago but haven't tried it yet. I was looking on the wiki for assassin rags 100% drop location hahahaha. Very Nice
When does the run start: when character creation loads ? or when you load into the game world after CC?
Some runs are taking x time in CC and not using the timer there. While older runs are starting the time when CC loads. Pleases clarify in rules
is charicter creation part of the time ? I think it is suposed to be
