Featured update pages
Steam launch recap
The Steam Launch Recap page is the post-launch home base: what shipped on day one (redesigned UI, new furniture, playtester homage), launch trailer embed, review context, demo coexistence, and day-one buyer tips linking to Getting Started and Crash Troubleshooting. Start here if you purchased after August 7, 2026.
Patch notes
Patch Notes summarizes verified changelogs — demo Hotfix 1.0.1 fixes, launch content from official messaging, and a version table readers can track against Steam news. Post-launch balance changes land here before guides absorb them.
Demo info
Demo info explains how to download and run the free Steam build that remains live alongside the full game, what content is included versus retail scope, feedback channels, and save expectations. Useful for friends evaluating the purchase.
Release date archive
The Release date page preserves pre-launch timing context and the Release Date Trailer (pcnUuor6c1w). Historical reference only — the game is out now.
Launch checklist
The Launch Checklist remains a practical stability and prep list: SSD verification, DirectX 12, demo replay, Discord notes, and first-session steps. Repurpose it for new PC installs or returning players after patches.
Deluxe bundle and DLC
The Deluxe Bundle page covers the Digital Deluxe pack: base game, original soundtrack, and the Ducks, Dollars and Dark Beginnings short story at a 15% Steam bundle cut. It does not add achievements or key rebinding.
What we cover here versus elsewhere
Updates focus on availability, official announcements, and patch summaries. Gameplay depth stays in Guides, Walkthrough, and Crafting. Hardware questions belong in System Requirements; session priorities in the Production Checklist; achievement routing in Steam Achievements.

After launch
NullRef Entertainment continues balance and content patches post-August 2026. This hub lists version highlights: automation tweaks, new furniture sets, rare tree adjustments, and performance fixes. Patch Notes is the first stop; Review notes whether major patches shift the Very Positive sentiment.
New owners should read Steam Launch Recap, then Getting Started and Early Game Walkthrough. Demo veterans should skim launch recap for UI changes before assuming demo muscle memory still applies.
