  Auto-walk release. Everything here is about getting you where you asked to go.

  Auto-walk knows the whole map again

  The mod reads the entire overworld up front — all 128 chunks, without needing
  them loaded around you. It has done that for a while; what it did not do was
  keep the result. The map it built was being thrown away a fraction of a second
  later, every single session, leaving auto-walk to feel its way around using only
  the few hundred square metres right next to you.

  That was behind most of the "I can't find a route from here" and "I got as close
  as the ground I can reach allows, about 260 meters short" failures on longer
  walks. The map now survives, so a route across town is planned across town.

  It no longer walks you off balconies

  Routes could step off an upper floor straight down onto ground six metres below
  — through the floor you were standing on. The clearest case was the flat above
  the Gramophone Cafe: asking to walk to the cafe door from upstairs planned a
  route that fell through the balcony, then spent twenty seconds failing to follow
  it before announcing the door was "about 6 meters below the nearest ground I
  could path to".

  Routes now check that a drop actually lands where it claims, so it goes and
  finds the stairs instead. About 3% of all the connections on the map were this
  kind of lie.

  The map no longer switches itself off mid-session

  There is a self-check that compares the map the mod read against what the game's
  physics says, and disables the map if the two disagree too much. It was counting
  every crate, fence and barrel you walked past as a disagreement, and after about
  eight minutes of play it would give up on the whole map. From that point on,
  every walk in that session was worse — and nothing said so out loud.

  It now knows what a prop is, wants a lot more evidence before condemning
  anything, and writes down what it actually saw when it does disagree.

  A third more of the map is walkable

  Anywhere a cliff face, house wall or fence stands on the ground beside you, the
  mod used to treat that ground as unwalkable — it could not tell a wall next to
  you from a ceiling on top of you. That was about a third of the walkable ground
  in a typical chunk.

  It can tell them apart now. It also checks that recovered ground is somewhere you
  could actually reach on foot, so the insides of buildings don't quietly become
  walk destinations.

  Shift+End goes to the door

  Teleporting to a door used to leave you standing a metre or so short of it.
  It now puts you in the doorway itself. Doors only trigger for someone already
  walking through them, so you still take the step through yourself — you just
  don't have to find the door first.

  Still true

  Some places genuinely need an ability you may not have yet. If auto-walk says a
  target is unreachable and mentions climbing, it usually means it: campsites and
  lookouts on raised terraces are often meant to be climbed to, and no amount of
  pathfinding gets you up a four-metre wall on foot
