THE LOGBOOK

Know which version you are reading.

Dated source notes, not a live patch feed. An old announcement can explain a control without proving that nothing has changed since.

Field Guide launch · source review

Eight focused guides, a machine-role index and four browser companion tools. Player questions about saves, missing needles, money and layout planning informed the first edition. No hands-on game benchmark is claimed.

Co-op mod author’s update date

The mod page reviewed for this edition showed version 0.19.0 and a 29 September update. Check the author page for later compatibility instructions rather than treating this as a live version label.

Demo V8 · dated conveyor reference

The developer announcement covers conveyor snapping and pathfinding, No Snap mode, network interaction and additional routing pieces. The guides label these as V8 notes, not an exhaustive current keybind list.

Steam demo release date

The playable demo is a separate store entry from the planned full game. The full-game listing reviewed on 30 September still specified Q4 2026.

We do not update every page’s date just because a build runs. A guide date changes only when its information is substantively reviewed or edited.
