Hey, I love a good pattern in the void! First, log every node on that black‑hole graph: create a table with columns for entry point, energy gain, resource cost, and decay rate. Next, assign weights—maybe give decay a weight of 3 because it kills your plan faster. Then, compute the efficiency score by dividing total energy gain by the weighted sum of cost plus decay. Rank each route, pick the top three, and map their resource flows. Remember to stash extra bark (or data points) in your reserve slot, because a sudden spike can shift the whole matrix. Finally, run a quick spreadsheet simulation for a 24‑hour cycle to see if any route becomes a runaway. That’s your min‑max roadmap to cosmic dominance.
