Progression: choose the next useful step

Name your current bottleneck

If you fail to return reliably, practice a shorter route before planning around more ambitious runs. If cash is the constraint, check your current balance and the next actual price. If a particular animal is the goal, start from its documented acquisition link.

These are editorial decision rules, not a tested optimal upgrade order. They avoid assuming that one strategy works at every stage.

Make a reversible decision

Use a small experiment before a large commitment whenever the game allows it.

1. Write down the specific problem you want an action to solve.
2. Check the current in-game description, cost and any visible conditions.
3. Keep a reserve if another near-term action matters to you.
4. Compare the outcome with the goal, then reassess rather than repeating purchases automatically.

Be cautious around resets and thresholds

A recorded rebirth observation does not establish every future requirement or the full reset behavior. Read the confirmation screen in your own game before taking an irreversible action.

The field guide retains the original rebirth observation. Unknown thresholds remain unknown; no fixed rebirth recommendation or universal efficiency ranking is published here.
