Edition comparison
| Edition | Purpose | Safe conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Demo | A changing preview used for public testing before launch. | Older update notes may describe systems that later changed. |
| Prologue | Formerly free standalone introduction released December 1, 2025; now listed as unavailable. | Limited base/battle scale; advanced automation, mechs, and late-game systems are absent or reduced. |
| Early Access | Paid developing game released August 10, 2026. | Current reference point for this manual; content and balance will continue changing. |
Why guide labels matter
A Prologue prison cap, Core limit, building count, recipe, difficulty modifier, or boss behavior is not automatically valid in Early Access. The Prologue store explicitly warns that content and balance may change. Every guide on this site therefore shows a verification date and edition context.
Can saves carry over?
The official sources opened for this page do not provide a universal promise that every demo or Prologue save is compatible with the current Early Access build. Back up important saves and check current official announcements before moving or overwriting files.
