The fastest Broodmother speedrun I'll ever do!
This was run on patch 1.1, before the added stagger cooldown, spear nerfs and Broodmother boss fight changes.
This is a tool assisted speedrun (TAS) because I used four different macros, each assigned to a different button on my mouse:
"Give up" macro pauses the game, hits the "give up" option and presses space to quickly make me not alive anymore. Saves minimal time but it was nice to make it a single button press.
"Spam E" macro does just that, rapidly presses E so I can pick stuff up and build stuff much much faster than normal. Pretty simple. Also makes the boss fight a bit simpler because I don't have to focus as much on picking the spears back up.
"Burg.L" macro mashes the 1 key to get through Burg.L's dialogue quicker and then turns in the chip immediately after.
And the most important one, the "door fling" macro. As you'll see, the door fling glitch can be used to get across the yard at absurd speed which is the crux of this route. It requires precise positioning and timing key presses. So the macro presses E to close the door, after a 15ms delay presses E again to open the door, then after another 15ms delay presses jump.
Because the door essentially teleports to the open position on the other side of the doorframe, if you jump while it's in the process of closing and opening you'll get its momentum transfered to you which sends you flying! This same behaviour is what allows us to get out of bounds with the door as well, although a macro isn't needed for that.
This was also a set seed run, so I'd make a save before I even move every time I started a run and if the rng was good I would use that initial save for future runs. It was taking too long to find the perfect seed though (this one still isn't perfect, four acorns in one area and four coal from one deposit would make it even better), so I started specifially hunting for a good seed which had:
Aphids at the start
4 acorn shells on the ground
10 chunks from 3 berries
Miteloaf in the hedge lab chest
5 boiling glands from the 5 bombardiers
4 coal from 2 deposits
Boost juice smoothie in the hedge lab outpost
This run was purely intended to show what's possible in the game so I'll obviously not be claiming any records with this run. Does that even need to be said?
Hope you enjoy!
