Log Entries

The game log sits under the Stuff table on the left side of the game screen. Every action you take adds an entry, but no more than 50 can be displayed at a time. The game also updates the log when it is saved or autosaved, so many of these entries may be missed.

As some of the log entries reveal plot points, they have been collected here for reference.

* "Well, they'll be waiting if you need them to take up their specialisation again."
* "They might be happier this way. Or maybe they were happier before. Well, 50-50 odds!"
* "Back to their past jobs and simpler lives."
* "They return to what they once knew best."

Shark Machines, Other Machines

* "The machines calculate your actions as inefficient and a danger to productivity."
* "The machines want to know if they will dream."
* "'Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do...'"
* "An engineer shark looks on as their hard work lies buried under the sands."
* "The other machines feel a little quieter and almost resentful."

Science

* "What possible reason are you doing this for?!"
* "The shark academies will hear of this anti-intellectual act of barbarism!"
* "The science advisors frantically murmur among themselves while disposing of the science."
* "We're getting rid of the science now! No more learning! No more progression! Just mindlessly clicking the exact same buttons we've been clicking for hours!!"
* "Are you afraid of PROGRESS?"

Animal Basic Materials (i.e. fish, sea apples, sponge, jellyfish, clam)

* "What does famine even mean, really?"
* "We'll probably not need that or regret it or whatever."
* "But we need that to eat!"
* "We didn't need all of that anyway."
* "Do you think the aim of the game is to make the numbers go DOWN?!"
* "Sure hope you know what you're doing here."

Non-Animal Basic Materials (i.e. sand, crystals, kelp, coral, algae)

* "We didn't need that anyway. Right? I think we didn't."
* "The survey sharks bite up their notes in frustration and begin counting everything all over again."
* "Well, someone else can deal with it now."
* "We didn't need all of that anyway."
* "Do you think the aim of the game is to make the numbers go DOWN?!"
* "Well I hope you know what you're doing."

Advanced Materials (i.e. sharkonium, coralglass, delphinium, spronge, residue)

* "Industrial waste, coming through."
* "This stuff is hopefully not toxic. Hopefully."
* "This stuff is the future! The future of awkward-to-dispose substances!"
* "The foundation of a modern shark frenzy, perhaps, but also sort of taking up all the space."
* "Let's hope we don't regret it."
