FAR: Lone Sails

Hello guys !

Here's my video for the 99 minutes speedrun for FAR: Lone Sails:


It's not very hard but it's better to keep this achievement for your 2nd run because you need to reach 9001 miles (or km or everything else :P ) for your last achievement.
I finished the game in nearly 93 minutes but i had a small glitch at mid-game.Nothing risky because you can still reload your last save without voiding the achievement !
So the timer is short,but the game is even shorter.Don't stress yourselves it's quite easy.

Some tips:

- Keep this achievement for your 2nd run.In this case you'll know the game very well and don't lose time for the puzzles.
- Collect nearly every ressources possible.You can miss some of them but you have some free time to collect them (and it's better to spend 20 seconds to grab some of them rather than being short of fuel later !)
- Use your sail only when the wind is favorable ! You'll gain some extra boost very useful for this achievement
- You can pause the game,it'll also pause the timer ! So feel free to take some breaks if you want :) (Thanks to Rimafu for the tip !)

Happy hunting !

Hey guys!

For some of the people who may not have beaten the game yet or intend on completing it, I would like to write some general pointers that I figured out throughout my 4 playthroughs of this game!

First, some general advice for the speedrun:

1) The timer begins when you take control of your character and the timer ends when you place a resource in the "furnace" to send a signal for help. The achievement should pop right as you place your resource in the furnace if you got it.

2) Your vehicle... Throughout your playthrough, your vehicle requires energy in order to run, so it is important to stock up on any resources you find. It can be pressing at times, so try to stock up early. Even if you stop for a minute, that is ok. Pick up any resources you find, even the red barrels that set your cabin on fire. They can be helpful!

3) Upgrades/Repairs: your vehicle will get upgraded with a water hose, repair kit, vacuum, and new wheels. Know all of the downsides of each part. For example, right before you enter the first thunderstorm, your vehicle's engine and gliders will be damaged permanently until you get the repair kit. Make sure to have energy for that part (as an example).

4) Damage Indicators: I never really knew this until my fourth playthrough, but, if you look to the front of the vehicle, there are orange-colored bars. These are "health bars" for each of the parts and, if they reach the bottom, they will need repairs. Keep this in mind when playing the game!

Now that we know the general idea of the game, here is some practical advice:

1) Time! There is plenty of time in this run to make the 99 minute or less speedrun. The timer is not tight. I was able to beat it in around 90 minutes, and this includes some mistakes that I made in the run itself. For that reason, do not give up immediately if you run out of energy (like I did at one point) or if you take a ton of damage and have to repair.

2) Uphills are the worst! In order to conquer these parts easily, you should wait until your steam bar is over 75% full. When you release the steam, your vehicle will get a small speedboost. This can be really helpful too in areas where your glider is favorable.

3) Death Zones! There are a few points where death is possible such as the windmill area (where the tornado spawns) or the 2nd thunderstorm (where the rain damages your vehicle). Always make sure to move as fast as you can through these sections.

4) Stopping the vehicle itself... Sometimes, you will come across a wall that cannot be passed by your vehicle and you will have to exit. Instead of ramming into the wall (like I usually did lol), stop your vehicle way ahead of the wall and slowly bump into it. This could prevent fires and repairs, which could cost a few seconds in a run.

*One more thing before i finish my guide for the speedrun: ALWAYS KEEP THE VACUUM ON WHEN YOU EARN IT. It does not consume any energy. This is awesome because you will not have to stop after every resource, you could just speed right by it and the vacuum will get it. Note that you can only hold 4 items in the vacuum so make sure to have some space to pick more items up.

Hopefully you guys could obtain the speedrun with my, and Clad master's, advice. Let me know if you guys have any questions. Sorry for the long guide, so if there is anything I missed, let me know and I will add it!
