Planner data is structured around observable in-game menus, licences, deeds, calendar rules and inventory requirements.
Editorial rules
- Dates use exact calendar dates. Relative phrases such as “today” are avoided on evergreen pages.
- Patch facts need an official source. A Steam depot timestamp is not automatically called a public content update.
- Community data is labelled by context. It can fill gaps, but does not override current official announcements.
- Unresolved reports remain reports. A player post is not presented as a confirmed known issue without official acknowledgement.
- Planner assumptions are visible. Calculators show inputs and do not claim hidden game probabilities as guarantees.
