New categories and recent changes

Hi everyone!

Theres been plenty of changes on the leaderboards recently! Firstly, we've recently added the Ironman challenge as a speedrun category to the main leaderboards! There's two different variants of this challenge. In Classic Ironman you land on each moon only once, while in Hardcore Ironman you complete an entire quota on each moon! Originally, we planned on adding these categories to Category Extensions but due to the similarity of the run to X Quota speedruns, we decided that the challenge fits better on the main boards as the goal is to clear quotas on just like the other categories on the board and it would be out of place on the category extension boards.

We've also added a new category to the category extension leaderboards: Museum%. In this category the player(s) must collect each variant of each scrap item in the game.

Other smaller recent changes in regard to the leaderboards are:

  • v56 version variables have been added and v56 related changes to category extension boards have been applied.
  • Double subcategory submissions are not allowed. This is more specifically in relation to glitchless vs glitched runs where glitchless runs will not be accepted to the leaderboards for glitched runs.
  • For T3 Moon 100% runs, setup time with zeekers cheat before the day that clears the moon does not count the timing. You may, for example, land on company building to get items then land as many times on the moon before the attempt to clear it. Using zeekers cheat multiple times for t3 moons is also allowed.

For the High Quota% category, we plan on removing it from speedrun.com and hosting it on a dedicated website instead. SRC is not going to cater to HQ due to the differences and the (lack of) features, so we feel like a dedicated site with features more suitable for a high score leaderboard rather than time based leaderboard is the best solution here. Removal will happen once the site is ready and published.

Also, In other news:

Bully is a super moderator on the leaderboards and a discord admin!

Also welcome Zephyr to our team of verifiers!

Remember that we have a Discord Server where we discuss speedruns, strategies, events, ideas, streams and whatever else interests us. We also hold community polls farily regularily on leaderboard matters to edit the leaderboards according to how the community would like them, such as the inclusion of Ironman and Museum% to the leaderboards, and we're holding one right now about the handling of beehives for Classic Ironman!

See you in the Discord! And good luck on your speedruns!
