Nightwater Progression Unlocks
Nightwater links unlocks across resources, machines, crafts, buffs, regions and minigame rewards. Begin with the current requirement for the missing option: an absent ingredient, locked recipe and inaccessible region are different problems. The store confirms these broad systems but not each dependency. Record which action exposes an entry, and follow that source instead of assuming the last region you visited caused the unlock.
