Field notes
The port presents twelve fields with separate prices and bottoms, while keeping each deposit’s depth secret until a player reaches it; a field can also be empty. Its market draws prices across 37 years and reveals the full series at the start, so players can weigh storage against future drilling. The page also describes two sabotage routes: an agent with a stated 33% chance, or a timing-bar action.
