Built in support for LiveSplit
Pichón has gathered a very active community of speedrunners, and they requested autosplit support. This is normally done by players by using tools like Cheat Engine to track the memory locations of certain variables. Unfortunately, due to how the engine manages memory, this approach was unfeasible.

Thanks to Ayden and ElNachoLV from the LV Gang Discord server for suggesting the feature, and to Dark and everyone at #auto-splitters in the Speedrun Tool Development Discord server for the help.
