Factorio 0.18 Any% Tool-Assisted Speedrun WR 1:21:20

This is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) for Factorio 0.18. It goes from nothing to rocket launch in 1hr 21min 20sec using a generated map with no mods or blueprints. That's over 30 minutes faster than the current human single-player Any% speedrun record!

Technically the TAS is implemented as a mod. But, the mod follows base/vanilla gameplay rules. You can get the mod from the mod portal:

This is what turn-based players look like in real time.

Achievement complete: Laziest bastard. Automate everything and launch the rocket.

Tasbot: I'll go as fast as I can

Trees and Rocks: _we'll see about that_

[carlfoster]

Who needs blueprints when you are the blueprint!

[krayxiegamer]

This is by far one of the most peaceful videos of any game i have ever seen. Loved it.

[j.j.vanhanen]

A bit suprisingly this is a true testament to evolving strat and skill of the human players! 2 years later, current human WR stands at mere 2 min 27 sec slower.

[wrath]

Building anything without turning half of what you build around 10 times is freaky to watch. Great work.

[masterelf]

I can't imagine the amount of effort that went into this. This is absolutely incredible, well done.

[nefrums]

This is so cool! How long time did it take to program the tas bot?

[zoroku]

Imagine bots continously fills his inventory with the items needed for building. It would probably go wild.

[johnywuijts]

I'm a new player, I don't understand 90% of what's happening, but it looks really impressive, it probably didn't take just 6 months and 500 hours of programming, but also thousands of hours worth of experience with the game

[nico-obwj]

Man! This is so cool!! I have been waiting a long time for this and I'm not disappointed :D

[damiancase]

My God simply adding rain in the background of this was a god send I fucking love it and it was just nice background thank you so much as it made this nicer on the ears

[TheWaffleLord]

50:04 - 50:50 The most satisfying part of the video imo, and it's a perfect loop!

[Pyhard]

When I watch this I almost feel it was planned

[DavidLindes]

Very nice. And I like the red chips design, visible at 44:44! I've not seen that, but I dig it; looks super easy to enlengthen ad nauseum. :D

[FumblefudgeProductions]

very cool indeed. I especially like the detail where the final time is written with belt in the end. Its gonna be a hard one to beat without tools!!

[chddarpppr]

It's crazy that the human speedrun time has now outpaced this run

[KarRuptAssassin]

i love that the tas is only 4 minutes faster than normal.
