Factorio Speedrun in 3:35:45 - new WR

[Ojelle]

Could both of you guys post your seeds
You guys talking about this, its tempting to give it a try too ^^ (probably my try will be around 12 hours , if I try at all, but still ^^)
Or is the seed-searching part of the job ^^?

[Crash34]

Lot of theory needed here !

the seed is presented at start of the youtube video

Yeah you really should give it a try. It's a nice new challange to make the game interesting .And record and post your run, regardless of it's being a new WR or not. That will attract even more people into speedrunning this awesome game

My Liverun this night was successful and got back the WR.


First of all, thank you so much for watching the Livestream. It was my first time streaming on twitch and I never expected over 30 people to watch the run live. That really made me nervous in the beginning, but was a lot of fun for me all in all. One streamer even hosted me (I missed who it was, so thx again for it).
However reading the chat while speedrunning makes me play worse, but it's so much more fun to interact with the community meanwhile. I definitely plan to do some more liveruns in the future.

The run itself was worse than expected, I lost a lot of time in the beginning. I really want this run to get below the 3h mark in future runs and i'm confident I can do this.

I used the following ruleset: any% Multiplayer 0.12.x You can find all rules at Speedrun.com: http://www.speedrun.com/Factorio#any_Multiplayer_0.12.x

Questions:

Why do you start a multiplayer game, although you play alone? - The Game won't pause when you open the research tab in MP

Why aren't you attacked by enemies? - I'm playing with peacefull mode enabled because it allows the best time for an any% run

Why do you have such big ore fields? - I set the options for the world generator to very low frequency and very high size. I play the vanilla version of the game.

Which software did you use? - I used OBS for recording and LiveSplit for the timer.

What's your map seed? - ">>>AAAMAAYAAQABAQYAAAAEAAAAY29hbAQFBAoAAABjb3BwZXItb3Jl AQUECQAAAGNydWRlLW9pbAEFBAoAAABlbmVteS1iYXNlAwQECAAAAGl yb24tb3JlAQUEBQAAAHN0b25lBAMEn70UaWB7AABMsAAAAAAAAAAAAA AFAbfdMOg=<<<"


So now it's up to you again /u/rootnegative and /u/LordFedora

Moved from general to the board that was thought for it.

We also make Speedruns (we are 2) ... it take 3:09 on our 4th run.
We make it better and better and save from run to run 20 min.
Analyse the video with our data and corrected our plans.
I think 2:45 is possible with the normal 5/6/12 Science Setup ...

Why do you place Steam Engines before the solid fuel producers?

[Kayanor]

Merged together with the old WR (3:45:58).
Interestingly the posts for the old WR only go over the first page. Forget me
I also added a note on the first post of the merged topic for topic readers to not get confused.

[Sir_Francis]

Still, though
