Shop prices compiled from community gameplay videos and loaded from /stats/shop-data.json. Items marked Unverified were shown in-game but the exact $ cost wasn't spoken on camera. Market sell values remain dynamic.
Strategy Even without exact numbers, the spending order matters more than memorizing costs: storage → pumps → tech → base expansion. See Upgrade Priority and Money Guide.

How to Read the Shop UI
- Open the Build / Shop menu from your HUD (see Controls guide).
- Each tab lists purchasable items with a $ cash cost before you confirm.
- Upgrades apply instantly; pumps require a valid placement spot at your base.
- Costs may scale with your current progress — note your cash balance when recording.
