Are there any tools or resources that can be used to learn more about this game and how it works? I think it would be beneficial for discovering new strats and better understanding old ones, but don't have the means myself.

I haven't really done anything like this in the past, but I'm sure if you ask ConfiG, he might know some things already and might be able to help you. Otherwise, maybe modding the game could help too. The easiest way to talk to him would be joining the speedrun discord (https://discord.gg/yepfrVddB3) or modding discord (https://discord.gg/puNrzd6eEp).

Strats that have been found in the past are mostly just unintentional bugs which we have found and tried to use lol, but there is probably a few more to find
