Guide
So to all of the people who are trying to get some good times and to advance these runs, I have tried to gather all my knowledge.
Otherwise making a speedrun.com page and a discord to more easily share runs and thoughts on the game, would expedite everything positively. For now I recommend we use Blackthornprod discord server (https://discord.com/invite/MyG8aC9) and If there's a possibility to adapt/create a few rooms on the server for the use of speedrunning the game. :)
This was @timyoki guide, all of it is great advise.
"1) Tower placement -- stack towers on top of each other
2) Repeatedly tap 'E' to refill towers -- Before towers shoot just spam 'E'. Not sure if this is faster but I prefer it more than holding E.
3) Position when filling up towers -- you have to be closer to the collection area.
4) Not fully charging towers -- I noticed its somewhat slower if its fully charged as compared to filling it up when it spawns so it shoots faster."
To fill in a bit in his guide
1) / 3) is definitely 100% true to what you have to do, in @HipsterSavage message he posted a map of where you need to somewhat place the towers spawn location so on and so on.
2) I have personally tried the spam e with a macro, and its not faster, this is to say that the speed you resupply the towers with blood is only counted from the shot to the first E press to refill.
4) I think this is somewhat wrong, by what I have noticed there is different shot patterns of when the towers shoot, that's why I have matched the time (1:45,06) @timyoki set precisely, this means that if you get the fastest shot pattern on most towers first rotation and then get a few fast pattern second rotation on the same towers that got fast pattern first rotation, it's the way to get the WR.
5) Another tip is when you need to gather the blood, shoot under the biggest group and move around the shredder to get the blood you don't need to actively place it down before getting any blood out, then placing it out of the way when you have gotten the 90*6 (540) blood you need.
Otherwise a way to obtain 6 tower and shredder or a way to obtain blood without the shredder will make the time faster. A way to spawn in the Titan faster, or spawn in more enemies.
We also need to understand the gold / enemy spawning rate, what influence these and how to manipulate them. And the spawn rate of the first few gold-ores when you start the game. Also if we can find any relevant bugs/exploits in mining or shooting enemies for more than 5 blood/ 10 gold.
We also need to figure out if the in-game timer is reliable, or if we need to implement a split timer to validate runs. To further on this, if the screenshots is enough validation to verify runs or if the run in entirety needs to be sent in video form.
