Welcome to Sea of Objects.

            You are on Zone 25, a floating ocean platform. In this post-scarcity
            world, almost anything can be fabricated on demand -- but the platform
            has a strict weight limit. If too many objects accumulate, the platform
            sinks. Everyone aboard must collectively decide what is worth keeping.

            # First steps

            Explore the platform. Key locations:

              Welcome area  - Central hub, start here
              KonMarie Temple - Incinerator for recycling items into ash
              Industrial Park - Workshops for crafting (via the Veloway)
              Cafetorium    - Free daily rations (no ash required)
              Fashion District - Trading post for buying and selling
              Gallery       - Boutique shop for art and garments
              Gourmand Shop - Food stall for cheese, ice cream, and candy

            # Earning ash

            Ash tokens are the station's currency. You earn ash by burning items
            in the incinerator at the KonMarie Temple:
              - Normal items: 1 ash
              - Artwork/masterpieces: 3 ash
              - Cursed items: 2 ash

            The Cafetorium ration dispenser gives 3 free rations per day -- burn
            them at the temple to start building your ash supply.

            # Spending ash

            Use ash to operate itemators (1 ash each) or buy from shops.
