Reaching the Mineshaft
An old mine cut into the lakebed, and the mid-run checkpoint. Roughly one in twelve players who reach the Cavern do not make it this far, so this is where a weak economy starts to show.
The Mineshaft is the middle wall. Almost everyone who stalls out does it around here, and the cause is nearly always the same: an economy too small to pay for the longer trips deep water demands. Keep buying cheap Token Income and Bucket Capacity nodes and the wall disappears.
