unsolicited advice, re, routing and combat
@salameleon@snouts.online ... and there are a bunch of resources provided by SRL and its Discord/IRC for improving combat and working with particularly weird item loadouts.
For routing, I’ve started using a priority queue, organized by hints, then required dungeons in logic sorted by item density, routed breadth-first. This crude take on A* improved my average time significantly and might be worth trying.
