That very well could be. I'd still like to be able to try it. Plus, iirc, Indigo Quarry ruin entrance isn't far from the one-way Tele, so it wouldn't be THAT bad of a backtrack. Dunno if Quantums are REALLY all that worth it considering the availability of Crystals and Hunter plorts, but yeah, it'd be neat at the very least. :P

What I'm pondering now is what would be the best route for that scenario. Currently my head's at Pink Gordo Day 1, run to Feral Phosphor area for ~2 Cuberries if boxes are uncooperative, grab Crystals from Quarry on way back, as well as a few Odd Onions if spotted and uneaten and all Carrots along the way, deposit crystals and feed carrots, collect & sell plorts, make 2-4 gardens, then plant Cuberries and Odd Onions.

However, from there, I'm not 100% on the ideal path. Is it better to snag Occas instead of Onions and hold out for the Rad Gordo while sacrificing Odd Onion yields, or would it be better to replace the cuberries with Mint Mangos and trying for the Honey Gordo? I feel like the former is probably the most natural, and if you're really min-maxing you're probably going to wind up going back to the Crystal cave anyways, considering they're by far the best and most reliable to get. (especially if mixing with Hunters, though I'm still torn on whether or not Largos are even worth it in this mode. Maybe to reduce the time wasted going back and forth between corrals and market?) That would allow you more possibilities for Odd Onions... Hmm... and also, would it be better to simply open Moss Blanket from the ruins entrance just to grab the plorts needed, or open it from the front and get the key after. So many pathing options...
