I mouseover every point of my route to check if the next is accessible.

but it doesn't show the connections until you get there... is there an upgrade/augment that changes that?

No need for upgrade or augment: after many players asked, the devs added a game option to show the paths between nodes. Once the option is activated (in the options menu), just put your mouse pointer over a node to the the connections.

Well... this changes everything. I can *plan*!
Thanks for the tip.
Might be a good idea for that option to be turned on by default :D

The devs prefer the game with the option turned off (that is why there was initially no option), so this is unlikely to change. ;)

Looking at the screenshot, you could have crossed your fingers and made the 5 hops (of death) to try and reach the exit from the upper beacon.

Since the option to view beacon paths was added in a later patch, it isn't immediatley obvious that it exists.
