This section is intended as the “junkpile” of all the extra stuff you may want to know. In the future, like next update, I may divide these into there own sections.
I’m debating the need for upgrades, weapons, and equipment. The weapons may be needed, I know some are not common knowledge, but the upgrades seem like a nightmare to figure out.
