Editorial Policy
A fact needs a public source and a checked date. Two sources that disagree both stay. A missing number stays blank. Each page closes with one limitation sentence.
What counts as a source
I use store pages, patch notes, wiki articles, Steam guides, dated discussion threads, and the studio’s own trailer. A single guide can support a sentence if I mark it “1 source”. I do not promote a single guide into “the official number”. Two independent sources can share a cell marked “2 sources”. A video title is not a source until I have watched the description or the pictures that carry the claim.
I do not require someone to launch the game and redeem or reproduce a value before the page can exist. Public records are the check. When a thread is old, the date is in the sentence, as with the 2019 rotor posts.
Conflicts and blanks
Steam’s 4 Dec 2025 and Wikipedia’s 5 Dec 2025 are the model. Both dates remain. The oil generator’s 200 Eels and a Korean guide’s 56 energy both remain. I do not average them. Weight, power draw and recipe counts that nobody published are an em dash, and the page says blanks are not estimates.
Corrections go to [email protected] with the page URL and the better source. If I change a number, the checked date on that page moves with it.
Questions
Why do some cells say 1 source?
Because only one public page stated it. That is a label, not an apology.
Who do I correct?
[email protected]. Studio bugs still go to [email protected].
