Facts and route notes
Category: Routing
Focus: Coal drops, ladders, shafts, and monster exits
Checklist: Use coal power when furnaces, bombs, Fish Smokers, or crafting lanes are short on Coal. Use ladder and shaft power on Skull Cavern days when depth matters more than surface resources. Pair ladder power with Luck, staircases, bombs, coffee, and strong food for the cleanest descent.
