Quick Take
Season 1
Water management and Spring upgrades drive your map freedom, so movement planning matters early.
Season 2
Furnace management and permanent decoration value create a much stronger shop-planning puzzle.
Season 3
The Light Tower and cursed fog make progression feel more gated, so priority order matters even more.
Season 4: Oxygen Tide
Oxygen economy • Season Medals • PhantomPals • Merchant Fleet
Season 4 adds Oxygen-gated PVE, Season Medals, PhantomPals, Merchant Fleet trading, Sea Giant attacks, Bongo Rush, and new research priorities. The dedicated Season 4 page breaks these systems into daily routines, route math, and mistakes to avoid.
Oxygen is the gate
Nutrient Booster feeds Algae Pond, Algae Pond makes Seaweed, and Seaweed upgrades Oxygen Plant.

Hit 8,200 Season Medals for the final milestone reward, then keep pushing for player and guild rankings.
