What's your reroll criteria?
If you play like me, there's certain runs you'll just dump upon reaching a certain point if a set of criteria hasn't been met. It might be wand quantity/spell quality, perks, gold, whatever. What makes you decide a run isn't worth continuing?

For me, the criteria marks are at holy mountains 1 and 2. I need at least 600 gold before I'll allow myself to finish level 1. If I haven't got two of either 150+ health (not including the lava lake orb), a good fast-fire wand and either a good utility wand or a good early-game nuke (damage-wise - NOT the spell) wand, and a decent perk by the time I get to the end of holy mountain 1, I reroll. If I get to mountain 2's exit and haven't got a decent nuke wand or excellent perks, I reroll. From there things generally snowball on their own; a good run will take me to the vault/the temple, whereareas not meeting these criteria is very likely to see me die on level 3-4.

If I see I have a bad start I start rushing. you can find excellent wands in the jungle but its quite dangerous

if, after fully clearing the (collapsed) mines i don't have at least one heart container or i don't roll glass cannon or one of the shields at the first holy temple then i consider the run essentially lost due to the scarcity of HP

Always looking for chainsaw in the Mines/Collapsed Mines, then looking for Black Hole or Luminous Drill. (Since chainsaw in collapsed mines basically = tons of early gold.) If I don't find any of those by the time I've reached the Ice Caverns, I'm probably just going to stop being careful and just rush for wands either getting me a decent spell or ending the run.

"Edit wands everywhere" or "explosion immunity" perks are always on my mind for long, exploration runs. If I don't see those within the first 3 mountains and I've gotten nothing else good, I'll start playing recklessly for fun.

I can understand wanting explosion immunity early, that for me has prevented a number of off-screen deaths from a random enemy picking up a nuke wand.

To be honest, I almost completely agree with this.

Sometimes a regular "play 'till I die" run is nice from time to time, but I generally prefer to get a head start when it comes to runs where I try to explore the east/west worlds, or go to

Its pretty much a pure DPS based decision for me. If I lack enough dps I just quit sometimes. Or if something frustrates me enough to new game.

1. I ignore enemies and make a beeline for the tablet by the lava lake and use it as my only weapon for the trick money and to get the pacifist's reward in the 1st holy mountain. Nothing good? restart.

2. I try to save the powerups and skip the first traits if they suck. Fix the wands, then go through the mines as usual, this time shooting. If the second traits suck I buy a reroll, if I can't afford it I loop back to the mines via the chasm past the lava lake and dig until I have 1K-2.5K gold (sometimes while watching/listening to something in another tab).

Since the 1st mountain was accessed the reroll still costs 200 for some reason. So I cycle through the 1st and 2nd trait it until it hits 1600 or I get something decent (usually looking for fire/explosion/electric/melee immunity equivalents, novel combo, and/or 'Vamp.' 'Tinker Everywhere' is overrated if you have the mobility to return to the mountains.)

Otherwise I move on just to activate any leftover spells I unlocked until I die, usually without the patience to explore the basic areas "safely".

It Smells Like Soil after Rain on Mines, instant reset. I don't care that it's harmless, I care that it clogs every passageway and the starting wand takes forever to clear it.

getting a wand that fires once per second. especially if it's bouncy bolt.

I try not to restart if i get nothing good by the snow level, but that happens more often than not. Noita usually just says "what are wands?".

I'm 38 hrs in and still 0 for 0

1. Found no wand in the 1st floor,
2. Get nothing that can dig soft materials in before the 3rd floor.

I usually start rerolling around 12th-15th parallel worlds as I don't really keep count on how many Holy mountains I have visited and how many perks I have took so far.
