ASTRONAUTILUS – All Upgrades and Effects

I’ve compiled a list of all the upgrades in ASTRONAUTILUS along with their effects. This isn’t a strategy guide; 꽤, it’s a collection of notes I’ve gathered from upgrade stations during runs and my own experimentation. It’s aimed at helping me recall each upgrade’s effects when encountered in the Hub. If you notice any inaccuracies, please let me know so I can correct them.
