Yes, check
Old assumptions may be wrong

Editor notes
Not ideal when
You need a one-number answer more than a route explanation
A recent patch already changed the assumptions and you have not checked updates yet
Your real question is about pet fit or route math, not editorial guidance
A route change needs a reason
Do not change routes just because another path looks cleaner in a screenshot. A good change starts with a clear problem: weak profit, awkward timing, bad recovery, or a patch that made the old route less reliable.
One bad session is not proof
A single unlucky session can make a stable route feel broken. Test whether the same weakness repeats before rebuilding the whole plan.
A route change should solve a repeated problem, not react to one weak run.
Change the smallest useful piece
Most players do better by changing one crop, one pet, or one timing habit before replacing the entire route. Small tests protect progress while still giving you better information.
