I also think this would be a great idea! Being able to just do sections for runs would really help add some variety and might even bring more people to start running this game.

This doesn't make sense, there's randomness involved on the resources, everyone would need to use the same save file in order to be fair and that's quite complicated if not impossible.

Why don't you do a segmented run instead? It would be more interesting.
