Route planning notes

For Cardboard Armor, the useful answer is not just whether the entry exists. Players usually need to know how it changes a route, whether it costs inventory space, and whether the current source is strong enough to trust before starting a long run.

Use the quick facts first, then compare the related pages before treating this as a final route. Piggy: Intercity choices, map access, shops, and chest behavior can all change how useful the item is.

  3. 3. Compare armor value with inventory space and survival supplies.
