Sub 1 hour! It was a crazy grind and I nearly gave up on the category but I finally got this lucky run where everything went right.

Thanks to AJChimera for the idea for shallows base placement that makes stalker teeth easier to get.

FAQ:
Q: How do you break rocks so fast?
A: I use my mouse scroll wheel which I set to have the same action as left click in the game settings.
Q: Why do you build empty bases / deconstruct the hatch?
A: Entering a base saves the inventory so it's not lost when I die. If I don't want to respawn at that base I deconstruct the hatch.
Q: Why do you build the Cyclops?
A: The Cyclops is the only place you can build the shield generator needed to finish the rocket.
Q: I saw a glitch. Why is this called glitchless?
A: This run has been verified to follow the rules generally agreed upon for the glitchless category. What you consider a glitch, others may not.
