A checkpoint and reserve planning method for the official core objective, driven by values the player observes instead of invented depth milestones.
Start here when this is the exact player task you searched for. The sections below turn the question into steps, checks, and next pages.
Choose a checkpoint, record an observation, keep a reserve, and recalculate with the core planner after each terrain or setup change. This depth-goal method uses player-selected checkpoints and player-defined units; no official core distance, units, or layer table is published.
