Synthesized Stability should not Bisect

This keystone makes it where on average those who enjoy running a single map lose out on how much they will juice their maps. Because of this it is going to push a specific method of running this keystone that is simply tedious and I can only describe as unintended. Ie. You boss rush all maps in the blob that are not connected to your map that you plan to farm. Then you spec into the keystone and run only your good map in the blob. This will make bisection impossible for the remaining maps.

There is basically about 3-5 minutes of tedium added for every 4-5 maps you want to run because you need to first make bisection impossible. I can't see this being the intended gameplay loop, but it is by far the most efficient one. The process is fast and efficient, but it's not fun. I hope the keystone can be changed to not cause a bisection when randomly collapsing a map.

I think fishing for shaped modifiers by boss rushing will exist regardless because of how the system builds up more modifiers as you complete maps, but I think at the very least running a single map shouldn't be punished with less juice naturally and push people to this playstyle.

To add on to this, this also can bring back old setup of Kingsmarch. For the boss rush maps, you run an ore set-up. This now means you get the full benefit of sending 50m shipments occasionally while Ores really aren't part of your main strat.

Elaborate?

What ore are you sending out, just bismoth since thats the only one that just requires "clicking" How much do you think you are going to get from this?

No, you do all of the ores. You wouldn't ever do a single ore only as you are penalized heavily on shipments for a single ore. I think you would get enough ore where your miners/smelters are always working since 30-50% of your maps would be ran with this strat. If one was to be skipped, I think it would be the one that spawns scourge monsters/gives you a shrine. That one seems to take the longest.
