Player-reported evidence: reproduce these steps on your platform and demo build. They are not publisher promises or universal results.
DIRECT ANSWER
There is no official, complete paper acquisition recipe published for the demo. If paper is blocking progress, first check the active objective, Tech Tree and inspiration/mastery unlocks, and the correct workstation. Stockpiling inputs alone may not reveal a recipe.
Evidence state
Player reportedConfirmed now
- Crafting and structured progression are present in the demo.
- Player demonstrations show unlock dependencies controlling recipe visibility.
- No complete official paper recipe is published.
Launch check
- Exact paper ingredients, quantities, station, output, unlock, and whether it is obtainable before the demo endpoint.
FIELD DECISION / 01
Steps to follow
- Read the objective wordingConfirm whether it requires paper itself, writing supplies, a studied item, or a later quest step.
- Trace the unlockInspect the related Tech Tree branch, inspiration/mastery requirement, and current quest dependencies.
- Inspect the correct stationA known ingredient does not guarantee the recipe appears at every workstation.
- Respect the demo boundaryIf the required unlock, station, or NPC lies beyond The Town introduction, keep the objective launch pending.
WHY THIS WORKS
Why this route is reliable
The checklist distinguishes a material shortage from a recipe-visibility or demo-scope gate. It avoids inventing an input table that the current evidence cannot support.
IF IT DOES NOT WORK
Failure states and fixes
| Symptom | Check | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| You have likely materials but no paper recipe. | Review unlock, mastery, objective, and workstation. | Resolve the missing dependency; do not keep farming the same material blindly. |
| A guide names a recipe you cannot see. | Compare build, platform, and whether the guide covers the full game. | Treat the recipe as unverified for the current demo until reproduced. |
LEDGER NOTE / 02
Why this is not a recipe page
A recipe URL would require exact result, ingredients, quantities, station, unlock condition, output quantity, and verified build. Those fields are not complete, so the private recipe record remains unpublished.
LEDGER NOTE / 03
What will be captured on Sep 22
The launch pass will record the first reproducible paper source, every prerequisite, the station interface, input/output quantities, and the quests or writing supplies that consume it.
