Sam physically treks to locked nodes to connect them to the Chiral Network. He can only reach nodes within ~0.32 map units of a connected node. After each mission he rests (15s first time, 40s after). His path wanders naturally across terrain.

Click ✏ then click a connected node to start. Click waypoints across the map. Click a destination node to save. Blue pixels = water (blocked). Black void = blocked. Routes are colour-coded by terrain risk. Draw around hazards.

Click a node on the map to see its orders. Select an order, choose a porter, click DISPATCH. Porters travel to the pickup node first if they're elsewhere, then collect cargo and deliver. Their location updates after each delivery.

Select a path in the ROADS tab and spend Chiral Crystals + Materials to upgrade: Dirt → Trail → Paved → Highway. Better roads = faster porters. Paved+ can clear MULE blockages during construction.

BT attacks and MULE blockages trigger alert cards on the map. Choose: Push Through (risky), Reroute (safer), Abort (cargo lost), or Clear Route (costs 60 Materials). Unresolved alerts freeze that porter.

Use ✎ Edit Mode (map bottom-right) to drag nodes to their correct positions on your map.jpg. Then click 📋 to export positions as code and paste into the NODES array in index.html to hardcode them permanently.
