Facts and route notes
Category: Unlock
Focus: Pierre's 10,000g recipe, Mushroom Cave starter, and Prize Machine source
Checklist: Buy the recipe from Pierre when fruit, mushroom, or raisin throughput is becoming a bottleneck. Pick Mushroom Cave when an early free Dehydrator fits the farm route. Treat Prize Machine Dehydrator rewards as capacity boosts rather than the main unlock plan.
