As the title suggests, I noticed 2 achievements I've never seen before, 'Faster than Sound' and 'Faster than Light', achievements for beating the game in 30 and 20 hours respectively.
I've watched Nefrums do speedruns and its really cool how he has things down to a science, and can blaze through base game in a couple hours.
But, I've never seen anyone attempt to rush through Krastorio, mostly because there's a ton of stuff, Ive played with it for maybe 200 hours, and theres a lot, and rushing would take a lot of planning and is certainly difficult. But the achievements are there, and I'm very curious if anyone has given them a try. Surely the achievements were put in with some idea that they are possible, right?

I finished it in a little over 51 hours in my first game on default settings, without trying to speedrun or even rushing anything. So it seems very doable. If you really push things I'm sure even 10 hours or less can be done, especially in peaceful mode.

Oh wow, so maybe it can be done.
I still think it would be really cool to see a proper speedrun breakdown of the mod, but even 10 hour attempts are very long for speedruns, it would take a lot of time.
If its beatable in 50 hours without rushing, then I think after some more practice I'll try and get the Speed of Light achievement, so I can rub it in my friends faces hahaha.
But that will have to be after I finish the megabase I've been working on this past week, which has been tons of fun setting up with the LTN mod.
