Upgrades provide the player with permanent benefits for when they traverse The World; from greater water reserves, to additional carrying capacity, and increased health. These can be purchased in any order, regardless of whether they provide the same type of benefit. Although all of them, with the exception of the compass, are entirely optional, new players are encouraged to use them, as they make the game much easier.
