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
Weeknight routes should lower friction
A weeknight route needs to respect low energy and limited time. The best plan should start quickly and avoid decisions that require a full research session.
Pick repeatable comfort over peak value
A slightly lower ceiling can be the better answer if the route is easier to repeat after a long day. Comfort matters when attention is limited.
The best weeknight route is the one you can repeat without turning play into homework.
Make tomorrow easier
End the session with one next action written by the route itself: repeat the loop, check codes, upgrade a crop, or compare one pet tomorrow.
