Loop Hero Manager Tool Guide

Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of questions and image posts regarding the best river placements and other similar synergy-based questions on the discord. Seeing these paired with my lack of efficiency of tile placements when playing, I decided to start building an interactive tool which calculates and displays the stat modifications. If you are interested in trying it out and giving any feedback: Loop Hero Manager [wildrycestudios.blogspot.com]

The tool allows you to build your world loop upon a new run, and place down various tiles such as thickets, rivers, deserts (and more to come) to find the most viable setup you would like to achieve before starting to plop down your tiles in-game. The tiles placed down will give statistics on what they affect, and if tiles have any adjacency synergies (such as rivers turning into an oasis when beside a desert/sand dune), these will be displayed in the tool and give the stats information as well.

This was originally built for those who are not too confident in knowing how much stats will be affected before or when building (myself for example), so the ability to plan ahead and have a reference map on the side for me felt quite handy, and wanted to share it with others who might get some use out of it.

The tool also features a sharing function that allows you to export a code to save any efficient worlds created that would like to be shared or kept as backup, which may be imported back into the tool at anytime.

Original inspiration came from discord user ‘Goostz’ who posted some images of river-thicket placements they made in excel, giving me the idea of building an interactive version with more customization.

After I built the base version of this, I learned about reddit user /u/code_chris river-thicket app[loopherolayout.xyz] (check it out if you haven’t already, it is efficient and has a very clean/simplistic design), which helped me test some of my math so shoutout to his creation.
