So while routing All Bosses for vanilla don't starve, I wanted to test around with manipulating world spawns. What I found was really useful.

In other games (i.e. pokemon) RNG in part has to do with the system time when certain actions are done. Well I tried testing if that worked with world spawns in this game. And to my surprise it did.

Pretty much its based on what time you press "Start" to create the world. I'm going to mess with this and use it in my all bosses run. I wanted to show y'all this so it can be put to good use.

P.S. The All Bosses run in general will be a really cool run to watch! hope y'all enjoy it in the coming weeks!

I want this thread to be a place for us to gather data about glitches, skips, etc. Below will be a list with videos and everything. Feel free to comment and I'll add yours and give you credit. I'll also add what version it works in.

Glitches:

  1. Glitched Chromatize Button / Skill Refresh Description: If you Chromatize immediately when your turn begins (the "Squad's Turn" text shows up), and press tab. Wait for the Chromatize animation and switch back to the first character. Now every character but your first one (which will usually be Scout) will be Chromatized with their skills. You will also have a Glitched (Invisible) Chromatize Button, which can be used to Chromatize again, therefore refreshing your skills without Skill Regen. NOTE: This can be done infinitely at the beginning of each turn even if your first character is dead. NOTE: This effect can be done at any point during a turn if there are two characters on the screen and one has a Chromatize button. Just Press the Chromatize button on one and tab immediately to the other.

Video:

  1. AI Turn Skip Description: During a fight if your party is concentrated in one area and you lure the enemies to that area, you can move one character very far from the rest of them. The enemies will continue to agro on the other members until they die. If you are far enough away after, the AI of the enemies will not detect you and none of them will do anything, therefore skipping the turn. NOTE: This is very helpful on set turn fights (i.e. fights were you have to last a certain number of turns) as it skips the enemy movement entirely. NOTE: This Glitch is easy to do on harder difficulties as your character can take enough damage to die.

Video (w/ an example of set up):

  1. Season Finale Final Cutscene Skips Description: On Season Finales for S1-4 there is a cutscene after the final scene which comes after a loading screen. If you go to the menu and press "abort episode", you will leave out of the episode, but it will consider that episode to be beaten. You will gain everything you normally gain from that episode and can continue onto the next season.

Video:

  1. Audience Report Skip / Money Save Description: After any Season Episode (excluding finales), you can press the "esc" key during the Audience Report Screens. This will exit you to the pre-episode menu, where you can go to record the next episode. The Money/Fans gained/lost from that episode will not be counted to your total, and emails will not show up in your inbox. However, all materials gained from the episode will be accounted for. NOTE: This is helpful for episodes where we lose money. This will allow us to accumulate a large sum of money to use on Weapons/Stat Boosts/Mecha. NOTE: This saves around 10 Seconds per episode from skipping the screens. NOTE: This skips having to read/reply to some e-mails. This even includes the director's emails, which we can skip and still get the same story line as we usually do.

Video:

  1. Glitched Chromatize Button into Cutscene Description: If you GCB before you land the last hit on the last enemy of the scene, and attack them during the Chromatize, you will finish the level (getting the director feedback) while Chromatizing. The Chromatize animation will go into the director feedback and one character's skills will be present during cutscene. However that character's skills cannot be used.

Video:

  1. Audience Report Skip / Dropped Items Exploit Description: Do an Audience Report Skip and in the following episode attack an enemy to drop some items. Then press "esc", then "Abort Episode". When you abort the episode the Audience Report Screen should come up again, but in the "Materials Dropped" part it should display the items dropped before you aborted the episode. Now you have the items that dropped during the episode, before you start it. NOTE: Once you get the items before an episode, you can re-enter an episode and abort it again. This will give you the same items again. This can be repeated several times to stack up items.

Video: N/A

  1. Season 1 Complete Skip (Found by Maejin in 2019, rediscovered by Hardrocker in 2020) Description: By rapidly clicking the "Sign" button under the New Contract for Season 1 (right after the prologue), the game will increment your state to Season 2. This skips all of season 1 and brings you right to season 2. NOTE: This skip should in theory save around 10 minutes, but due to the low amount of money, not every weapon can be acquired at this point. Rerouting will need to be done

A Things regarding the Great Maze:

  1. Is the Great Maze all in one map, that would be amazing if it was because i have a theory for a skip:

  2. Could we clip out of the Great Maze using: (Replacing Pit with Bowser), Then use Bowser's infinite jump: , to travel below the screen, hopefully to an area so we can skip the great maze!

EDIT:

  1. OR... we could do this in solo, with only 1 Character. Using this method to clip out of bounds and into a block: , we can then use Mario or Bowser's infinite jump: or , to move forward

Can we add categories to the leaderboards that allows the 4 (Error Rockets) and 5 (Door Unlocker) key binds that need to be cheated using the console?

Are there any Voice triggers in the game where we must wait until someone finishes talking, if so we should change languages.

I feel that this category should be mainly run on Set seed since Random seed would last a decent bit longer. This should be a very fun category as Any% seems fairly Boring.

We could sleep through nights with a tent so we could skip a decent chunk of waiting for the spider queen, as it takes anywhere from 22.5 - 45 In-Game days, which take 8 RTA minutes each. We could also see if a tier 1 or 2 spider den could generate with the world. Interesting bug we should put to use: https://gyazo.com/643baa1c25a1ced837ce11f9ba469e04

For the Tree Guard, If we use the Wood-Cutter, we could make him hostile immediately, which would be faster than waiting.

For the Deerclops, since we have to wait at least, 22.5 days for Spider Queen, on day 21 (When Winter Starts), we could immediately try to kill him by using gunpowder, as it is the highest damage item within the original game.

And Lastly, for the Ancient Guardian, we could find a sinkhole, and travel to that after tree guard, and then find out where the labyrinth in the ruins is.

So the order would be Treeguard, Ancient Guardian, Deerclops, and Spider Queen. This should be a VERY fun category to run!

How do you enter seeds for Adventure Mode?

I would like to help route this. Are there any known unpatched duplication glitches? Also i remember there was a wrong warp where you could warp from the completion of the first level to the last one. It may be patched.

Also why is Wilson the only allowed character? I feel the Robot or Strongman could be better because they are faster, we could just add a variable for characters.

We could run on an older unpatched version of the game if we can get a hold of it. I contacted someone from Klei and they said that the could not give me an older version. If there was some other way that would be incredible.

Is Free-Play Allowed in NG+ runs, there are some pretty cool skips that used free play, and the run can be very fast. If it isn allowed in NG+ i think it should be its own category.

When will the next update be finished or released for this site, I remember someone said that the next update would be following games, is this true?

United StatesHardrocker8 years ago

Could you change the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place icons from gold, silver, and bronze to a Golden Ingot, Iron Ingot, and Brick respectively. I've seen other games do this and it seems as if it would fit in.

This is the original flash version of Speedrunners. Can we use it? If so, i have found clipping glitches that can save a lot of time over all!

For minecraft there is vanilla and custom maps, due to the large number of custom maps it is hard for us to have our leaderboards on this site. Could there be an ability to make sub sections for games. For Example

Minecraft -Vanilla ---Category -Maps ---Type of map -----Map -------Category -----Map -----Map ---Type of map -----Map ------Category -----Map -----Map ---Type of map -----Map ------Category -----Map -----Map
