Bottleneck planner

Choose your next upgrade

Select what stops a normal run. The planner recommends the matching role without pretending that unverified prices or hidden formulas are known.

The rule is simple

Slow deposits point to Pickaxe. A full bag points to Backpack. Cold ending the climb points to Warmth. If none is clearly limiting, keep the cash and perform one controlled run before buying.

Take a cold, mining, or capacity blocker and return the matching Warmth, Pickaxe, or Backpack role with a qualitative rationale.

Rank the official named upgrade tracks for the selected run issue; do not calculate prices, ROI, rates, or timing.

One candidate per line: name, score

#2 Candidate B — 3

What the recommendation means

Pickaxe

Choose it when breaking useful targets consumes most of the run while capacity and cold remain manageable.

Backpack

Choose it when you abandon productive mining because the bag fills and forces an early sell trip.

Warmth

Choose it when cold blocks the useful upper route before mining speed or capacity ends the run.

Verification loop

Make the purchase measurable

1. Run the same kind of route once before buying.
2. Record the first reason you turn back.
3. Buy one level in the matching track if affordable.
4. Repeat a comparable route and check whether that failure point moved.

This planner does not calculate ROI because current costs, exact stat gains, and hidden formulas are not verified here.
