Two different purchases
Recorded play separates the next boat from boat HP. The ship shop quotes one next hull and its price. Paying it replaces the old boat immediately. HP is bought as its own steps, often by paying and then hitting the hull with a hammer. A new hull has not been shown to raise HP by itself, so do not budget as if it does.
Not every island has the station. A player holding 90,000 cash landed on a map with no upgrade station and could not spend it there.
You also cannot buy while the station says you are mid-task. One attempt failed until the player was free to use the shop.
Prices that were on screen
| Purchase | Price shown | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| First ship upgrade, off the canoe | 1,000 | Wooden ship described as all green. One boat went from about 1,000 HP to 2,000 HP and could reach the second area. |
| Level 3 | 90,000 | Dragon boat. The next level was listed at 450,000. |
| Tier after the dragon boat | 450,000 | Price read at the station. A dragon-headed ship in that cost range could "go quite a distance." Footage never proves it is the same model as the 90,000 dragon boat. |
| Next ship after that stretch | 1,000,000,000 | Shown on the menu. Nobody in the recorded runs is shown completing the purchase, so the hull and its stats are unknown. |
Other tags seen in the ship area, without a full model name: 3 million, 15 million, and 90 million. A health ladder in one run was read as 5 million, 10 million, 100 million, then 1 billion. Clips call the same currency coins, cash, gold, or dollars. Use the number on your own station after an update.
A 1 billion line has also been read as a separate "bot" change while the player still had a wooden bot "that's not very useful." What a distinct bot does was never shown. Treat that sentence as unresolved with the next-ship price, not as two confirmed products.
HP checkpoints, not a stat sheet
Players say power, HP, and health for the boat number that zones check. Nothing in the sessions shows three different stats. Waypoints from runs include about 1,200 after an early upgrade, then 2,000, 4,000 at a level-four buy, 6,000, 8,000, 20,000, 26,000 after a 5,500 health bonus whose source was not explained, 39,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000. A rival boat was seen at 1 billion health. These are not a per-boat table.
A x2 health multiplier was in the shop. The buyer hoped it would jump 12,000-class health to 24,000 and then could not tell what it did. A 9x label is also mentioned in shop notes, without a verified price or stacking rule. Read the HP the button will grant.
Named hulls
Canoe is the start. Raft is a still-small ship in the dock area, and some players may be describing the starter twice. Wooden ship, dragon boat, volcano boat, and ice boat are names spoken at upgrade moments. Volcano boat was named in a 1,000,000 HP stretch. Ice boat was "a little" faster, with no number.
Repairs after bombs have cost 1,000 and are finished with the hammer.
What to buy next
- The 1,000 ship upgrade as soon as the first pets cover it.
- HP until you clear the next sign, with margin.
- Pen slots when new hatches have nowhere to sit. Level 3 to 4 was 250,000. A later slot was 1,000,000. Each observed upgrade added one placement, not a rate multiplier.
- The 90,000 and 450,000 boat rungs when the islands you want are past your current reach.
- A plot appearance around 90,000 turned a base snowy and showed no income effect. Leave it until the boat and pen are ahead of you.
The islands list the signs. The payback calculator only divides a cost you type by extra cash you type.
