When To Care

Care about Carpet when it reduces a current chore, unlocks a route, produces a needed material, or supports the next trip.

Practical Use

Carpet should be used when it directly improves the current route. Put it near related storage and workstations so the benefit shows up every day, not only when you remember where it is.

Use this with the Interior detail route that actually spends or unlocks it. If it does not reduce a chore, unlock a new route, produce a needed material, or support the next trip, it can wait behind food, water, storage, and research basics.

Common Mistakes

Do not handle Carpet in isolation; connect it to the route, station, or system that makes it useful.
Do not hoard everything equally. Prioritize what removes the current bottleneck.
Do not skip organization in co-op. Shared storage and clear roles keep useful items from disappearing into personal inventories.
