A mod that suggests the optimal path through the map and highlights it in gold (safe) or red (aggressive) on the map screen.

Supported game version: v0.103.3

Features

Dual path suggestions: Shows two optimal routes — a safe path and an aggressive path
Visual highlighting:
- Gold: Safe path (minimizes risk)
- Red: Aggressive path (prioritizes combat for rewards)
Smart scoring: Different weights for safe vs. aggressive playstyles
Expert scoring: Optional adjacency bonuses rewarding positional patterns (e.g., Rest before Elite)
GUI Configuration: Full in-game config via ModConfig (optional)
Manual Configuration: Direct JSON configuration for advanced users

How It Works

The mod calculates two optimal paths using different scoring systems:

Safe Path (Gold) — Minimizes Risk

Room Type	Score	Reason
Rest Site	+1	Heal and upgrade cards
Treasure	+1	Free relic
Shop	+1	Buy cards, relics, potions
Monster	-1	Avoid combat
Elite	-3	Avoid hard encounters
Boss	0	Final destination

Aggressive Path (Red) — Prioritizes Rewards

Room Type	Score	Reason
Rest Site	+1	Heal and upgrade cards
Treasure	+1	Free relic
Shop	+1	Buy cards, relics, potions
Monster	+2	Gold and card rewards
Elite	+3	Relics and better rewards
Unknown	+2	Potential for combat
Boss	0	Final destination

When both paths share an edge, it appears in gold.

Expert Scoring (Adjacency Bonuses)

Enable Expert Mode to apply positional bonuses. All bonuses default to 0 (disabled):

Pattern	Description	Default
Rest → Elite	Rest directly before elite	0
Elite → Rest	Elite directly before rest	0
Treasure → Elite	Treasure directly before elite	0
Rest → Any → Elite	Rest two steps before elite	0
Elite → Any → Rest	Elite two steps before rest	0
0 Shops to Boss	Route has zero shops	0
1 Shop to Boss	Route has exactly one shop	0
2 Shops to Boss	Route has exactly two shops	0
