Checking extra containers for a needle cost 2 minutes, another 2 for returning to the station for the shotgun I left, and a couple more for that unusually large horde (was way more fabric than I needed). But this is a tough run to shave time from with the length and RNG of finding a needle at all. My last run needed that 20m shaved off and I'm happy that's done.

I've spent longer than an hour on many casual games dedicated to finding my first needle.
