Search For The Needle Progression Checklist
Use this while you play
Follow the milestones in order. The list is deliberately short: it tracks the upgrades and chapter gates that save time, not every purchase in the shop.
Claim lobby rewards and note your Gem balance.
Start Normal solo if you only want to learn the route.
Collect nearby rainbow hay while buying early Speed + Grasp.
Buy the first Bag upgrade so sell trips stop interrupting you.
Save $8 for the Pitchfork; begin upgrading Sweep/Cooldown.
Use 40 Gems on a Drone once you can afford it.
Raise Bag capacity toward 250 while the Drone farms in parallel.
Save for the Vacuum and manage the heat bar instead of overheating it.
Buy Dynamite and rotate it with Vacuum for burst clearing.
Tunnel inward from one side; do not waste time shaving the whole perimeter.
Return the Needle to finish Chapter 1 and unlock the basement sequence.
Chapter 2: find the Key, pull Levers, solve symbol/code/crystal puzzles, free the Alien.
