Saving and Loading Quicksaves

This is a short guide on how to use TeardownTools to load any quicksave.
This will allow you to save your setups for later, and also share them with others.


Saving a Quicksave for later
1.     Navigate to the Teardown folder in your Documents folder (This is not the folder you installed TerdownTools in)
2.     Make a copy of quicksave.bin
3.     Rename that copy to whatever you want. You can now use move and share this quicksave.

Loading a quicksave

2.     Navigate to the Teardown folder in your Documents folder (This is not the folder you installed TerdownTools in)
3.     Rename quicksave.bin if you want to keep your current quicksave
4.     Copy the quicksave you want to load into the Teardown folder, and name it quicksave.bin

Techniques Used in Speedruns

We use a few different techniques in speedrunning Teardown. If you don't know the name of something, or want to try a new strategy, make sure to refer to this!

#Glitchless Techniques (Exploits):
* **Boardwalking**: Quickly stringing together planks while walking/jumping along them to traverse in a desired direction. This is useful for crossing large gaps or gaining height quickly.
* **Hinge Break**: Breaking a door off its hinges by throwing it while it's still attached to the door frame. This works on both locked doors and unlocked doors.
* **Plank Boosting**: Using a plank as a catapult by standing on it, jumping and flicking it upwards.
* **Vehicle Throwing**: Picking up and throwing the remains of a vehicle then immediately sitting in it so you essentially throw yourself.

#Glitch Techniques:
* **Grab Clip**: Holding onto an object will disable it's collision with the player. This can be utilized to clip through anything the player is able to grab.
* **Prop Flying**: Standing on an object and pulling it towards yourself, making you fly. The object has to be set up in a way so that it keeps it's collision when grabbed. This can be done by either attaching a plank to any light object or using a specific type of object that consists of two parts.
* **Vehicle Teleportation**: When you exit a vehicle, the game attempts to find a valid position to move you to, if it can't it will sometimes teleport you up really high.
* **Zipping** Getting into such condition, that the game teleports the player upwards to the closest open space available.

Using Savegame Files

On your PC, go to `Documents\Teardown` and move "savegame.xml" somewhere safe.

Then, drag "savegame.xml" from the ZIP folder into your `Documents\Teardown` folder, and start / restart your game.

You should now have all weapons, all fully upgraded.
