What happens in the gameplay reel?

The reel begins with water collected by hand and builds toward a more elaborate operation. Pumps and connections take over more of the job, water reaches collection, and the machinery grows beyond that first bucket. Curious finds and equipment upgrades show the two sides of the loop: continuing the search and improving the system doing the work.

The underlying objective is the key to your shed on Brine Bay. In the development build, recovering that key and completely emptying the ocean are separate goals. Read how ocean draining works for the search rules, or From a bucket to a coastal factory for the production side.
