Update: This is now fixed! New players start with a 5-minute tutorial expedition instead of jumping straight into an hour-long wait.
You'll experience the full loop — dive, wait, return, read the report, meet your first creature — all within the first few minutes. After that, expedition times ramp up gradually (15 min → 30 min → normal).
