Quick start
New to Fish Lab? Follow these steps to grow your lab fast.
- 1
Learn the core loop
Collect fish on the beat, process them in the lab, and spend earnings on upgrades. Follow Getting Started and skim Controls for the first session.
- 2
Prioritize early upgrades
Battery, scan area, and tool power decide how long you can farm dense swarms. Compare paths in the tier list before dumping cash.
- 3
Power the right tools
Assign extra power where it multiplies catch rate instead of spreading thin. Use the tools hub when you unlock lasers, bots, and helpers.
- 4
Write grants for big gear
Grants sit on top of the 200+ tech tree and unlock major equipment spikes. Track grant timing beside regular upgrades in guides.
- 5
Try Sandbox, Endless, and Zen
After the main path, switch modes for free building, long runs, or screensaver calm. Read Launch 2026 notes and the updates hub when content shifts.
