Editorial and Verification Policy

Source priority

Official game pages, developer statements, and official update information receive the highest weight. Direct gameplay evidence and timestamped videos are used for routes, interfaces, and visible mechanics. Steam Community discussions and reference guides are supporting evidence; a single unverified comment is not treated as a confirmed fact.

What qualifies for publication

A detail is published when the collected evidence supports it clearly enough to help a player. Exact values, route requirements, item names, and unlock conditions receive extra scrutiny because they can change between Early Access and version 1.0. If available sources disagree or leave a gap, the disputed value is omitted rather than converted into a confident statement.

Version-sensitive information

Guides state the current review context and preserve useful version notes where a mechanic may have changed. Historical patch information can explain when an item appeared, but it is not automatically treated as proof of its current price or behavior. Review dates change only after evidence or page content is materially checked.

Internal links and page creation

Internal links connect genuinely related player tasks, such as River Valley access, Iron Ore, Coal, and Wetlands progression. We do not create multiple near-duplicate pages for synonyms, and we do not add a thin page before enough evidence exists. Browse the current set from the Doloc Town guides hub.

Illustrations and generated media

Original editorial illustrations may be used when the available screenshot does not represent the page topic. Generated illustrations must contain no claims, labels, prices, routes, or UI presented as in-game evidence. Their alternative text identifies them as editorial illustrations, and factual guide content is never inferred from the generated image.

Corrections

Confirmed corrections replace the inaccurate statement and trigger a new review date. Unsupported additions are removed. Until a public contact channel is configured, readers can compare the linked sources and official game information before acting on update-sensitive requirements.
