v1.0 update preview: reading pre-release test information

A v1.0 preview page is useful as a version-information hub. Even when details are limited, it reminds readers that playtest material and release-version material should be interpreted differently.

Why version context matters

During testing, building costs, tool behavior, critter logic, technology paths, and objectives may change. Without version context, a guide can look authoritative while describing an older build.

What a preview page does

A preview page can record the timeline, collect follow-up links, and point out which systems may change. It should connect to patch notes, announcements, and durable system guides.

How players should read it

Check the date first, then the affected systems. Sign-up posts, playtest wrap-ups, and build-number logs are temporary. Core system guides about oxygen, power, and heat are more likely to remain useful.

Maintenance advice

After each new version, check old pages for changed values, changed controls, and changed priorities. This keeps search traffic from landing on obsolete advice.
