Survival Log Updates Hub
Track launch-week hotfixes, demo training, and what to re-test after each Steam note.
The Updates Hub keeps Survival Log players aligned with what is live now versus what changed after August 12, 2026. Steam app 4164790 shipped the full game from Midnight Workshop and Lilith Games. Steam reviews sit at Mostly Positive. The free demo remains available for training loops. Patch literacy stops you from following outdated stockpile dogma.
Launch week patches (read this first)
Midnight Workshop posted official notes on August 13, 14, and 15. Read Launch Week Patches before you assume your first-week save is cursed. Those builds add a crisis countdown, cancelable chores, the 80-slot Tool Cabinet, trading-point unlock repairs, warehouse-manager rescue missions, and earlier New Game+ floors. Then keep Launch Day for first-week routes, pricing, three roles, and 93 achievements.
Launch day branch
Read Launch Day for first-week routes, pricing context, three roles, and 93 achievements. Then keep Demo Update open for verification-day habits after every patch.
Demo branch
Read Demo Update for how to treat the live demo as a training build even after you own the full game. Mechanics you practice there — Planning Points, power anxiety, safehouse boarding — are the spine of the fantasy even if numbers shift.
Release roadmap
Release Roadmap frames post-launch expectations without inventing unannounced features. Use it after launch to decide whether to chase endless mode, collections, or deeper role arcs. Pair roadmap reading with Review Hub when you want sentiment beside schedule facts.
What to re-verify after patches
After any patch, re-check Power Grid, Time Loop and Planning Points, and Priority Checklist. Those pages encode assumptions that balance changes love to touch. Safehouse paths in Floor Layout may need new screenshots later, but adjacency logic usually survives.
How this wiki updates
English pages are regenerated from JSON sources. When Steam changelogs land, prioritize systems and guides that affect daily loops before cosmetic notes. Cross-link Guides Hub so players landing from patch news still find actionable next steps.
Player routine
Bookmark this hub, Launch Day, and Getting Started. After each patch, run one short day dedicated only to verifying your old routine. If diesel math breaks, open power guides before blaming your role choice.
Patch days are short days
After a patch, do not start a grandiose role-play saga. Start a verification day: cook, check power, board once, walk the home circuit, sleep. If anything feels alien, open the matching systems page before inventing new theories. Updates Hub exists to slow you down productively.
Changelog translation
Official notes may mention balance or quality-of-life. Your job is to translate that into thesis changes. If fuel drains faster, tomorrow’s thesis is fuel. If window durability changed, tomorrow’s thesis is fortify. Keep drama out of it. Keep Guides Hub practical.
Community noise filter
Ignore screenshots that skip context. Ask what buffers they had. Many viral moments are either high skill or hidden surplus. This hub plus Launch Day keep your expectations adult during launch week.
Takeaway for Updates Hub
Before you close this updates page (updates), write one Steam action that only this article justifies. Spend Planning Points on that action alone, then score dusk by meters and doors. If Midnight Workshop or Lilith Games patch the related system, re-open this URL first — not a random sibling — so the lesson stays attached to Updates Hub instead of dissolving into generic prep advice.
