Shop guides
Learn production and overnight vending, then diagnose stock, appraisal, water, power, chemistry and inspections with dated evidence.
Follow a production chain, check your sales channel or solve a specific blocker. The water guide leads with 1.0.0.2 changes; inspection and UI fixes have their own lookup. Older aquaculture, smelting and machinery observations keep their Demo scope. Sources distinguish developer statements, dated player reports and editorial checklists.
Start aquaculture: fill the tank, feed fish and check the next morning
Follow the unlock-to-harvest chain, distinguish tank water from inventory, and diagnose food, growth-space and breeding problems.
Smelting your first batch: inputs, power, modules and disappointing ingots
Set a small Furnace baseline, distinguish Quality from Efficiency and Performance, and check Flux and actual costs without trusting an unverified formula.
Stock not selling? Check the display, the visitor, then the actual request
Separate buyer attraction from supplier signs, diagnose empty-container categories and item rejection, and decide whether a sale releases cash or makes a profit.
Appraisal: read every manual page, check the item, then send the estimate
Find the manual and submission control, separate visible page-one hand values from a complete estimate, and audit a rejected result without random guessing.
Water treatment refused or unchanged? Check ownership, the tool and a fresh test
Diagnose customer-water ownership, the pitcher slot, UV versus filtration, powered processing and stale labels using observable results rather than a guaranteed purity recipe.
Vending machines: get an overnight sales channel and check its real return
Separate vending from display-case buyers, compare acquisition offers and rent, and audit one night before expanding the shop.
Machine has a battery but will not run? Check charge, placement and demand
Choose Recharger versus Power Bloc arrangement, understand the missing Power Hijack option, check owned-battery swaps and interpret an overnight result correctly.
Contraband and inspections: distinguish a hiding place from a fixed storage bug
Find the early poster lead, check Smuggler Bay version fixes, and keep Lou, permit and storage questions separate without promising a safe faction route.
Chemistry first batch: read composition, extract, dry and finish
Understand the four-machine chain, why Gutterflow does not identify the whole mixture, and how to diagnose a stalled first batch without copying an unverified recipe database.
Release fixes lookup: water, missing instructions, inspection losses and UI problems
Match a launch symptom to 1.0.0.1 or 1.0.0.2, read what was actually fixed, and know what evidence to keep if the problem persists.
