I'm missing the speedrun achievements. Before, I always went for big bases, like 900 spm minimum.
What spm would be optimal for getting a sub 8h run?
Also, other tips and tricks are welcome too

afaik most speedrunners build for about 1 SPM

#

So that is definitely plenty for the achievement. The bigger challenge is keeping yourself on task expanding the base.

Yeah, I feel that will be the most problematic...
I always procrastinate between building another part of the base...

checking several speedrunners video seems like the best advice to me shoob

Yeah, if you just focus on always making progress and optimize the world gen settings, 8h isn't actually that hard if you have some experience

It really isn't hard to if you want
I think most experienced players could probably do 4 hours

#

But most players don't try

#

Cranking up resources would make the achievement easier

You'll need 1600 purple and 1300 yellow science to research the rocket silo (without beacons). 60 SPM is typical. Even 30 SPM for yellow/purple science will produce all that in under an hour.

on a tiniest bit more serious note - 60-90 SPM range is what speedrunners use to get their insane 2.5 hours timings, so ~45 SPM (or even 30, but it might be tight) will be decent for 8h achievements. planning good spaghetti base and skipping unnecessary researches are recommended for best result
most of the speedrunners moves are also decent here - coal/solid fuel power, buffering iron and copper (and if you go for 30 SPM - sciences)

Would a standard main bus base work? It takes a bit of time to set up, but it would allow a much easier playthrough....
I have no idea how long I would need with my current gameplay.

bus will probably work, 8h is quite a long time

as I said
an experienced player trying could probably get it in 4 hours

#

I ain't saying speedrunner

#

just experienced player like me could probably do 4-6, if you try and have a plan you can do 8 no problem
