First factory
The first goal is not a secret badge. Keep the tycoon supplied with water, buy the first two droppers, then start the farm when money is moving without panic refills.
Treat the first minutes as a supply drill. Water powers the tycoon, so every early decision should either keep machines running or unlock a stronger income loop.
New players often chase far routes too early. A distant source is useful only if the factory can keep earning while you travel and return.
Bucket capacity is valuable when each trip feels too small. Crystal access is valuable when cold areas are the next route blocker. Coolant is valuable when water drains too quickly.
