Protection and movement solve different problems
Cover wraps fragile cargo to reduce the chance it shatters immediately when dropped. Teleport Crystal provides an escape option but its announcement explicitly avoids promising a safe outcome. Do not treat one as a substitute for planning the return route.
Check uses and store categories
Weapons and tools now display use counters. Cart upgrades have their own category, and September 14 corrected unlock persistence and prices. Read the current card and selected item before assuming an effect can be reused indefinitely.
Support equipment still needs context
Fish healing is faster on right click after August 28. Instruments, transport and carry effects each have separate patch histories. Rum and Booty effects are not interchangeable systems, and unpublished magnitudes should not be inserted into a planner.
