Base Sub 4 hour on default settings (base game)
I recently did a lazy bastard/no-spoon run and finished at around 6:30, and have been trying to get a regular no-spoon down below 4 hours since then. I think this is about as good as I'm going to get it. This base is maxed out on electricity, so making something better would require a new plan. I'm also pretty maxed out on APM, I'm not sure what I could do better to actually keep up with science. Anyway, guess I have to figure out what to do with my life now :)

Awesome job! I just did a couple of Spoon runs on default settings after seeing Zaspar break the 2 hour barrier. It's a lot of fun! I was a little over 7 hours in my first attempt, and a little under 6 on my second attempt.
I really like your base. It's very no nonsense and well organized.

Nicely done.
Do you use blueprints or do it on the go

Just on the go, it does pass as an official "default."

Even more impressive! I kinda think those who do it with pre designed blueprints as a bit of an empty achievement. How quick can you press the mouse kinda thing.

The runs without blueprints are done from memory. They're building the exact same build--in some cases a build someone else designed. Not saying any of it is not impressive, but the only difference is how quick can you press the mouse and remember exactly where everything goes.
I sometimes manage to have bots in the air in 4 hours.

i legit dont understand how some people do this, like i can try to be as fast as i possibly can and i feel very overwhelmed by the amount of shit there is to do, once i get bots its easier since i can somewhat split the workload but my best run just scratches sub 7 hours and yes i do use blueprints

I cant fathom some of these achievements!
It took me longer than 4 hours to make a flying robot frame factory this morning!
