chores 10:40~
bugs 21:30~

i started this TAS a few months ago and got burned out of it after a while, i came back once i found out the games addresses for bug spawns had been found (essentially i could see what bugs had been spawned from specific movement/delays from anywhere on the map). this helped out tremendously and i would have probably never finished this run due to how tedious golden net is without it, it motivated me to just spend alot of time to finish off the TAS. i started using this around halfway through the run (28/64)

time saves
there can always be a better map, im much happier with this map compared to fishing though
there can always be better bug spawn rng
accidentally buying the watering can, i think it was due to a route change and i forgot i had it. took up an inventory space and wasted time from buying it
peacock butterfly was specifically the only bug i couldnt get to spawn without refreshing the map after hours of trying ~10s time loss + the map refresh i did during june day couldve been avoided for another 10ish seconds
ending on longhorn beetle instead of elephant beetle so i wouldnt need to loop back to palm trees, i couldnt get elephant beetle to spawn and even if i did catching hercules, elephant and fly would cause the scorpion to despawn since i manipulated it to spawn much earlier but maybe if i got another scorpion spawn close to longhorn?
not selling axe and cutting down another tree closer to palm trees later on

random stuff
at one point in the run during a bug refresh THREE birdwings spawned at once??
sub 1 hour is possible if you were to make a golden rod and net tas, i might in around 10 years
this run is much better than my golden rod TAS
