What is verified right now
A demo-verified orientation to the full first biome, its milestone structure and Dark Thicket connection.
Official descriptions name the technology arc from primitive tools through the Bronze Age, Industrial Era and future, and identify The Woods plus a Mountains preview in the Demo.
02
Decisions for The Woods Biome Guide
The useful question is not how to fill every field today, but which claim changes the next player action. These page-specific decisions keep the woods biome guide practical while the full release remains gated.
- Treat The Woods as the full first demo biome.
- Track its milestone progression separately from Dark Thicket progression.
- Recheck resources and unlock order in the release build before finalizing a route.
03
How to use this field guide
Treat named ages and biomes as broad progression anchors. Let the game reveal the actual unlock path; the site records what is confirmed and leaves release-sensitive steps open until verified.
For the woods biome guide, follow the in-game state first and use this page to organize decisions, not to override evidence shown by your build.
04
A practical field workflow
This sequence keeps observations reproducible and makes release-day corrections straightforward.
- Finish the currently available area before assuming later requirements.
- Mark named landmarks and reachable interactables.
- Separate resource access from story discovery.
- Check which technology or milestone signal actually opened the next option.
- Revisit the map after a verified unlock.
05
What remains deliberately open
Exact recipes, thresholds, rates, capacities, unnamed entities and hidden completion conditions stay unpublished until an official source or repeatable current-build check supports them. In every table, an unknown is an evidence state—not a zero, a negative answer or missing work.
