Now we have to use cooking pots and recycle bin, which slow down cooking process and this will take effect on speedrunning. I suggest to divide all categories into Old and New categories, basically, with old cooking style and the new one. Any better ideas?
Episodes should be unaffected because a bunch of the mandatory content will become optional in December update, making them faster to complete. Between now and december it could be unfair, but anyone who PBs before update will get their time destroyed anyway once EP3 drops.
IDK about challenges. It could have a big effect on Nomad, but my Nomad run is like 20-30 minutes slower than it could be (getting the red rest penalty allows you to chainsleep because your energy is blocked from getting to full).
In my hopeless rescue PB I didn't cook anything for the entire run so it should be fairplay as well.
Several runs in the Death% Category are being reviewed to try and tighten them up. Several runs have also had times adjusted due to timers starting too late, stopping too early, or even too late.
If you have any questions, please contact me, Lohaan. via my DMs and I will be happy to answer any q
