Hello all. I'm a pretty bad player, I've only logged like 200 hours across years. Recently my friends and I have been doing long-form multiplayer runs and I..... suck. They're getting really invested and pouring through builds and stuff, and I want to keep up so I'm not just collapsing and needing to be propped up. I am regularly getting out-researched super early on and I'm not entirely sure how, and it sorta snowballs the longer we go.

I like the treasure hunter origin and would like to push that origin as far as it can go in our upcoming run. What can I do to become a pirate king worth fearing?
