I made a tool-assisted speedrun in the Any% category for 0.18. Goes from nothing to rocket in 1:21:20 on a pre-selected map using base rules. You can check out the video here: https://youtu.be/qYIplmAQcWU

Great job! Do you have any idea how much time you spent on the preparation?

Amazing! Did you consider using bots? A TAS blueprinting could be very efficient.

Thank you I did not pre-design the layout, it grew organically. I spent about 50 hours throughout the process figuring out scale, ratios, and testing various builds for the various pieces.

Thanks! I did consider bots. I think there may be potential, but ultimately I decided against it because the TAS mitigates some of the key benefits of bots. The mod has a FAQ which explains my rationale.
