Reaching the Cavern
The lake narrows into a cavern below the wreck. Payouts per bucket start climbing here, which is why Token Income and Bucket Capacity bought early are already paying off by this point.
The Cavern is where deeper water first pays noticeably more than the surface. If your income is climbing you will feel the jump; if it is not, this is the warning sign to stop sprinting and buy the economy nodes before the harder middle stretch.
