What unlocks on 9 October

Early Access opens on Steam, GOG.com and the Epic Games Store. Every value on this site is scheduled for re-measurement against the launch build; pages marked "unmeasured" become measurable at this point.

Practically, launch day is when this wiki stops being a reading exercise. Everything currently tagged unmeasured — warmth rates, generator burn, hide yields, carry capacity — becomes measurable in a shipped build, and those values get filled in from measurement rather than inference.

Where to buy

  • Steam — wishlist here drives the discount tiers above.
  • GOG.com and the Epic Games Store carry the same Early Access build, per the publisher.
