Not really looking to speedrun the game just wanted to add this here. In a stream I did 3 hours ago I towards the end fixed the power of everything in the fuse box at once. The only drawbacks are, it is difficult for me rn to get it consistent and you have to wait through the animation.
I got the instant main fuse glitch as well in the run that's pending verification. Pretty neat trick. It also works with the flashlight but the left hand gets a bit buggy visually for a few seconds
I have timed it myself and path skip doesn't save time in both instances from spamming click and path skip they are both 7:59 (ss:ff)
I did a small amount of testing and I think the night difficulty increases only when you replace the main fuse while the camera and flashlight fuses don't do anything. Let me know if I'm wrong.
You are right with each change of the main fuse it triggers the next animatronic up to chica makes you flash foxy up to I think (very much think) 5 times and increases the amount of cupcakes for chica
At the very start Foxy only needs to be looked at 3 times and then it increases up to a maximum of 6 (as far as I've seen) as time goes on
Minimum for both chica and foxy is 3. For each fuse, it'll be another thing you have to do. They'll be set to 3 upon putting in the second fuse and after 3 more fuses they will be set to their maximum "difficulty". Then, you'll always have 6 for each
Damn that's interesting. It also explains why Chica never shows up if you're fast enough.
It also explains how if you do get chica (and you've been spamming fuses into main) she's already maxed out cupcakes though you only just got her
I have a small little glitch I've found and forgot to share it earlier. Not sure how many other people know this but haven't seen any runs using it yet. You can consistently leave the Freddy flash animation early if you press left and right click at the exact same time.
