So i have been noticing that some runs have spiders causing your rock raiders to slip and other runs to just squish them. There are no current rules as to which setting is required and would like to hear everyones opinion about it. As the spider RNG can really affect your run for the IGT times and ofc hear the Moderators opinion aswel this. Do we keep the RNG aspect/ the default setting or do we turn it off? I wish everyone happy speedrunning
Hi DonFortune, are you in the Manic Miners Discord? There is a speedrunning channel there where these ruling are being discussed (inc. Moderator), with a result around this to be finalised. Link to the Discord is found above, underneath the game header.
To conclude on this thread:
Miner hunger and fatigue should be enabled.
Spiders should be set to squish.
Arachnophobia mode should be disabled.
Bats should be set to leave miners alone.
All other settings are unrestricted unless otherwise noted in the rules (i.e. hazard sliders).
