Pro Tips and Fast Progression Route
Use Tokens on capacity and collection speed, spend Diamonds on buckets, hold the fill input, claim every chest, activate checkpoints, and teleport back to the station instead of climbing. Co-op is the fastest normal route; the 250L Robux drain is optional and poor value.
