Evidence state
OfficialConfirmed now
- The live demo has its own current guide cluster.
- System hubs remain available for official pre-release relationships.
- Private launch schemas do not generate public shells or sitemap URLs.
Launch check
- Full-build quests, recipes, items, maps, NPCs, and patch behavior.
- Any demo mechanic that changes in the Sep 22 build.
Database pages stay closed until verified records pass the gate.
FIELD DECISION / 01
Steps to follow
- Choose the right entry pointUse Demo for scope, Beginner Guide for the opening flow, and a focused blocker page for fishing, energy, graveyard rating, or performance.
- Read the status stripBuild, platform, verification date, and evidence level appear before any steps so an official store fact cannot be confused with a player observation.
- Follow only reproducible detailExact launch entities remain out of search until their source, use, acquisition, relationships, and build state are complete.
WHY THIS WORKS
Why this route is reliable
The registry gives each query one canonical destination and keeps launch-only databases behind explicit gates. That protects players from stale demo assumptions and protects the site from thin, duplicative pages.
IF IT DOES NOT WORK
Failure states and fixes
| Symptom | Check | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| A search returns a system hub instead of an item page. | Look for a verified full-build entity record. | Use the system hub now; the entity URL will open only after its publication gate passes. |
| Two pages appear to answer the same question. | Compare each page’s primary intent and canonical URL. | Use the route registry and redirect aliases rather than publishing a second indexable answer. |
LEDGER NOTE / 02
Current demo cluster
The highest-value routes now cover demo availability, official duration, save transfer, beginner priorities, fishing, performance, requirements, preorder bonus, multiplayer status, and tightly scoped early mechanics. These pages are linked from the homepage and from each other rather than left as orphans.
LEDGER NOTE / 03
Launch-day handoff
The Sep 22 structure already knows about quests, items, recipes, NPCs, locations, tech nodes, equipment, achievements, bugs, and patches. Empty records remain private. A child URL becomes eligible only when the full build supplies the fields needed to answer a real player question.
