Tips for Investing in Movement Speed
- Upgrade prices rise as you move through the skill tree — early levels are the cheapest and give the biggest relative boost.
- Balance Movement Speed against your current bottleneck: if trips feel slow, buy speed; if trips feel small, buy capacity.
- Community guides recommend the spending order: Carrying → Movement → Vacuum → Shredding → Progression.
- Keep some cash in reserve for Progression gates so a new floor never catches you broke.
