Features¶

🗺️ Dynamic routes (worldgen)¶

Automatic road network between cities (vanilla villages, bca villages, Gimmighoul towers, gyms — configurable tags), built with terrain-aware A* pathfinding.
Pure worldgen: corridors pre-generate themselves — no commands, no need to walk the area (route_pregen_range, default 2048 blocks).
Flat & inland: the pathfinder strongly penalises slopes and keeps a buffer away from shorelines, while still bridging water when there's no alternative.
Mineshaft tunnels: when connecting to a node would mean climbing a mountain (or there's no surface path), the road bores a straight, lit, supported tunnel through it instead of going over.
Clean tree clearing: where a road crosses a tree it removes the whole trunk and canopy (no floating leaves, no dropped items).
Biome-based names: each road is named in English after the biomes it crosses, e.g. Route 3: Plains Forest.
Signposting & differentiated junctions: directional signs at each end; crossings are paved as a contrasting plaza so they stand out from the road.
Aquatic vs causeway water crossings, route trainers along finished roads, and route-entry toasts.

First-encounter capture lock per zone (zone = biome, route, or structure depending on the mode): only the first wild you meet in a zone is catchable; a spent zone bounces Poké Balls.
Permadeath: a fainted owned Pokémon is tagged dead — no healing (machines, items, revive, sleep), no battling, no trading; only PC storage or release.
Defeated Catch: a defeated wild stays on the ground, catchable, for a window — and stays inert (can't wander or be re-battled, only re-caught).
Mandatory nicknames: a blocking screen on every Pokémon you obtain.
Spectator on loss: when your whole team is dead, your run ends (configurable).

healing_mode: ALL / MACHINES_ONLY / ITEMS_ONLY / NONE, applied only to player Pokémon.
Configurable starter level, whole-team shared EXP, EXP-per-KO, and a whole-number EXP boost.

Waystones — activating a waystone registers it as a named city node for the route network.
Xaero's Minimap — auto waypoint + toast when you discover a waystone.

See World creation & configuration for how to set all of this per world.
