I was surprised at how much progress I made to be honest. Things just fell into my lap. I toyed with the idea of leaving the Prawn suit off until I got some upgrades, but I think I'll be ok walking to the Mushroom Forest and checking out the Crash Zone. As I recall, it was pretty good walking terrain.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein
