Update 1.1 (December 2026)

The studio publishes no machine statistics. Its Steam patch notes give only the changes: Capsule Catcher capacity 100 kg, Night Vision Goggles price, the 100 m group and 80% rule, the 90,000 capsule limit, alternating mergers and the 100% build refund. Everything else is community data, often read from game files by third parties and not verified in game.

Confidence levels used across the site:

  • Official from the studio’s own Steam patch notes.
  • Community published by a community database or extracted from game files.
  • Low confidence a single unconfirmed guide.
  • Unknown not published anywhere: shown as unknown, never zero.
  • Computed computed by Foundry from sourced values.

Known conflicts

Where two sources disagree, both are kept and the disagreement is shown on the affected pages.
