--algorithm [{regular,flood}]
--algorithm [{freshness,flood,vt21,vt22,restrictive}]
```
Select item filling algorithm.
### Regular (Default)
The ordinary VT v8.21 algorithm. As unbiased as possible, but may lead to distributions that seem a bit wonky (high likelyhood of ice rod in Turtle Rock, for instance)
### Restrictive (Default)
Items and locations are shuffled and placed from the top of the lists. The only thing preventing an item from being placed into a spot
is if is absolutely impossible to be there given the previous made placement choices. Leads to very uniform but guaranteed solvable distributions.
### Flood
Pushes out items starting from Link's House and is slightly biased to placing progression items with less restrictions.
### VT21
The ordinary VT v8.21 algorithm. Unbiased placement of items into unlocked locations, placing items that unlock new locations first.
May lead to distributions that seem a bit wonky (high likelyhood of ice rod in Turtle Rock, for instance)
### VT22
The ordinary VT v8.21 algorithm. Fixes issues in placement in VT21 by discarding all previously skipped and unfilled locations
after 2/3 of the progression items were placed to prevent stale late game locations from soaking up the same items all the time.
### Flood
Pushes out items starting from Link's House and is slightly biased to placing progression items with less restrictions. Use for relatively simple distributions.
### Freshness
Alternative approach to VT22 to improve on VT21 flaws. Locations that are skipped because they are currently unreachable increase in
staleness, decreasing the likelihood of receiving a progress item.
