Why buckets matter
Capacity upgrades reduce empty returns and make each route more valuable. That makes buckets central to beginner progression and token farming.
- Track capacity before and after each upgrade.
- Record cost and unlock condition.
- Note whether buckets are permanent or reset-based.
