A speedrun of Factorio's Rocket Rush scenario with a Default Settings map, in 1h 35m 29s. The measured time is from the first reveal of the chosen map through to rocket launch.

Map preview at: 18s
Rocket launch: 1h 35m 47s

The Rocket Rush scenario is kind of a change from the Wave Defense, though largely a base of the same design, and currently much easier for me to PB. There's still a lot to tidy, even without making the base particularly specific to Rocket Rush. The bottleneck ended up being silo construction, which really doesn't need to bottleneck at all. I'm not sure if there are going to be all that many Rocket Rush specific tricks, we'll see.

The shop comes after the map preview, so it's included in the time, and I could do it faster. The map was a pretty peaceful peninsula. I ended up taking close and also far oil outposts, desperately improvising a larger petrochem build, also car outposting a lane of copper ore because why not. Followed by an even more desperate steel expansion. I built petrochem and big mining out of sequence, even while saying "minimal deviation from Wave Defense base", whatever. Maybe that's better with less copper to mine, but I did finish with surplus copper in every buffer.

Patch richness differences between RR DS and WD probably deserve consideration if I'm getting specific. While there's certainly time to trim off, RR DS is probably not going to get a major portion of my focus. Maybe some other settings of RR will though. Perhaps still within the lens of a roadmap to runs in the full Default Settings category.
