Routes to the ending

The story ends when every place it needs is rebuilt. This page shows, for several routes, the day each place was rebuilt. Use it to see a sensible order and how long the story takes.

How these were played

  • A simple computer player played each route through the game's own rules, from a new save to the ending.
  • It checked in once a day, picked one activity, and pressed Rebuild it on the next place once it could make everything that place needs.
  • Every route had the same luck. If you check in more often you will finish sooner; if you skip days, later.
  • After the story the game goes on: every skill, mastery, item and quest takes far longer. See Getting to 100%.
