Fixing Mother Streaks key issue

[Lonerite]

might as well give my 2 cents

if you're on a locked-in Mother streak (like finishing 3 Mother runs in a row)

you could get into a debt "-1" at they key counter if you kill Basement 2 boss with 0 keys, meaning you have to find 2 key to have "01" at your key counter.

there would be an automatic animation of opening the alt path door, similarly to Cursed Shovel in Forgotten unlock | Mysterious door animation with Polaroid / Negative - which ensures that key gets used for its purpose of locking in alt path, it should never ever go directly into your inventory since you can waste it on something like a golden chest afterwards. sounds like a fair trade to me

is it slightly arbitrary? yes it is, but it's a necessary evil and the best solution imo for 2 reasons

1) The game isn't some super-smart AI that can scan every decision you make, how can it possibly know whether you messed up or no resources just ever dropped no matter what?

2) This is the only way in which you don't get profit for 0 reason, and no gameplay-decisions are affected due to the booster 5 | mysterious door-like little animation

Or it could do like the forgotten unlock where if you beat the boss before 1 min, the first hit in the sacrifice room will guarantee a bomb

while a neat idea this doesn't address Lost | T Lost, but for HP characters it is a cool idea yeah
