How to read updates with the rest of the wiki
When a patch changes terminals, revisit Terminals & Radio and Systems. When a patch changes progression or squad death flags—as 1.23.1 did—refresh Soft Locks Troubleshooting, How to Progress, and Squad Members. Ending adjustments belong beside Endings.
For evergreen prep, stay on Release & Demo and the Operator Checklist.
What belongs on Updates
Time-sensitive transmissions only: launch countdown, patch summaries, and corrections to earlier wiki advice. Evergreen mechanics stay in Guides and Systems. Evergreen shopping facts stay in Overview, especially Release & Demo and System Requirements.
Reading order after a patch
Official Steam post first, then Patch Notes, then touched manuals: Controls, Terminals & Radio, How to Progress, sometimes Endings. Keep rituals stable via the Operator Checklist. New players still need Getting Started and Demo Walkthrough if they own only the preview. Station and tapes: Operator Station, Cassettes & Lore. Tone: Review. Live calendar: Launch News.
No codes. No Roblox scripts. Just Operator-facing change control for Below, Rusted Gods.
Editorial standards for this hub
We date-stamp changes, prefer primary Steam/dev posts, and link wiki pages impacted by each patch. We do not invent codes, scripts, or fake hotfixes. Pre-launch, Launch News carries the weight; after launch, Patch Notes does. Surrounding evergreen reading: Release & Demo, System Requirements, Review, Getting Started, Demo Walkthrough, Terminals & Radio, How to Progress, Endings, Controls, Operator Station, Cassettes & Lore, Operator Checklist, plus Guides, Systems, Overview, Tools.
Subscribe-style reading habit
Check this hub on launch day morning, then after any Steam client update notification for the app. That is enough. Over-refreshing burns attention you need for radio lines. Pair with Overview facts and the Operator Checklist so news does not replace practice. Skill pages stay under Guides and Systems; shopping under Release & Demo; deep timed posts under Launch News and Patch Notes.
Closing transmission
When in doubt, prefer primary Steam posts, then this hub, then community summaries. Practice still beats doomscrolling: run the Operator Checklist and reread Getting Started if launch nerves scramble your procedure. Keep Release & Demo and System Requirements pinned beside Launch News and Patch Notes.
Stay sharp between transmissions by practicing the desk loop, not by refreshing rumor threads.
