Skipping won't do. What if both nodes you could get sent to, were non-combat encounters? In 5-4 for example, we have A-D-H and A-E-H, where both D and E are both non-combat nodes.

Future maps have the possibility of adding even more non-combat nodes. I'd say you can limit yourself to 10 nodes total?

"no its not random in some case. for maps like 5-4, number of drums equipped can affect the max amount of Fuel u can get from the fuel node(node M). check 5-4 in wikiwiki.jp for more info."

So it's not from, say, 10 fuel to a max of X fuel depending on how many drums you have, but a fixed amount of fuel determined solely by the number of drums you have?
