Melting Support

PDX Tools can convert (aka melt) ironman and binary saves into normal saves so that one can easily inspect the raw contents

As a bonus the newly converted save can be continued in game as if it was a normal save all along

Fresh Competition

An advanced achievement engine uses the game's logic to check if a save has completed one of the supported achievements

Uploaded saves are tagged with completed achievements to generate a leaderboard of who speed ran a certain achievement the quickest

The leaderboard is kept evergreen by enacting a small tax to saves on previous patches, just enough to keep the leaderboard fresh while allowing exceptional runs to bask in glory forever
