Base game + DLC

DREDGE Equipment

Upgrades, materials and how to put them to use.

Use the Research Assistant reward to enter deep fishing, then choose a research rod that fits the fish you are actually pursuing.

Unlock books, select one in the Cabin, and earn permanent fishing, trading, engine, durability, and panic bonuses.

Unlock Packed Explosives through Hermitage, carry them deliberately, and use each one only where the cleared route changes your plan.

Find Research Parts through play, then spend them on the next fishing or travel barrier instead of a random upgrade branch.

Use the Shipwright and dry dock to make room for the gear your next region actually requires.
