About this mod Author’s original text

Optimal Paths

This is a simple mod that forces all of the paths to be optimal.

Will be updated to include highlighting of the optimal path. (This will not update if you stray from the "true" optimal path)

Affects Obelisk Challenge in a mostly favorable way, but does not guarantee an optimal path there.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
