Bellwright Planning Tools - Route Planner, Crafting XP, Skill Tree, and Checklists

Use a small check when you already know the decision you need to make. Test a route, estimate a build, check a research step, prepare for combat, or verify a mod setup before opening a full guide.

Quick Answer

Choose the smallest planning check that can prevent the next wasted day

Quick Answer: Use the route planner when you know the destination but not whether the trip pays back. Use the crafting XP or chain checks when production is the problem, the skill checklist when an unlock may create more pressure, and the build or combat checks before committing materials or food. Open the mod checklist only after backing up the save and confirming the current build; when the answer depends on one item or location, leave this page for the matching resource or guide.

Use one checklist for the next decision Six checks for common decisions Use this page for routes, mods, crafting XP, skill tree, mining readiness and trip value

Should this trip happen today?

Test the route before spending the day

Use this when the destination is already known but the save still needs a quick answer about value, support and return cost.

Route recommendation

Choose a trip setup to see whether to go now or fix support first.

Move on when the check is not enough

Use a full guide when the problem needs a diagnosis

You already know the exact itemDo not force a planner when the real need is a direct item page for flax, iron ore, coal, wood or leather. You only know the symptomIf the save just feels bad, the guides are stronger than guessing which checklist might match it. The real problem is travel valueGo to the map page when the question is whether today's run is worth the time, food and return. The chain still needs a full diagnosisUse the crafting pages when one short check is no longer enough to explain the production failure.

Bellwright skill tree planning by save-stage checkpoint

Use these checkpoints to decide whether the next unlock supports the current village. Your selections are saved in this browser only.

Food support is repeatableMeals can cover the next calm day before taking a progression risk. Storage and hauling are readableWorkers can reach the right stockpiles without creating fake shortages. Starter crafting supports the villageBasic stations and their inputs are stable before opening another chain. Worker priorities match the bottleneckNew unlocks will not be wasted by unclear jobs or long travel lanes. Trust is the actual next wallChoose progression because it solves a current request or unlock, not because it is available. Iron progression has supportFood, ore, coal, storage and a return route can carry the next metal step. Combat preparation is coveredArmor, weapon, food and retreat planning match the target you want to attempt. Remote support will repeatThe home village is stable enough for an outpost or longer route to pay back.

This is a planning checklist, not a claim about hidden skill-node names. Verify exact unlock labels and costs in your current save.

Crafting chain check

Find what is really blocking production

Symptom	Likely blocker	Best next page
Materials exist but output is slow	Storage distance, hauling order or worker priorities	Worker Priorities
Ore trips feel not worth it	Route length, food, coal or return storage	Mining Trip Fix
Crafting chain keeps breaking	Missing second input or bad production timing	Crafting Chains
Building queue keeps growing	Too many projects before support materials are ready	Building Queue Fix
