Quick Answer
Returning players should not only ask whether there was a big update. Check your platform version, save condition, new areas or crossover content, whether your base needs cleanup, and which 1.0-facing systems may still change.
Returner checklist
| Check | What to review | Operations note |
|---|---|---|
| Current version | Whether your platform has the same content timing | PC and console timing may differ |
| Save state | Whether old bases, Pals, gear, and resources still connect cleanly | Back up and tidy before major updates |
| New content | New Pals, areas, activities, crossovers, or systems | Split major items into separate guide pages |
| Balance changes | Weapons, Pals, and base efficiency changes | Old guides need visible update dates |
| 1.0 prep | Long-term goals, base shape, and resource reserves | Do not present unconfirmed content as fact |
What to do after an update
- Read official notes or platform patch details first.
- Log in and check base production, food, storage, and key Pals.
- Split new content into “try now” and “clean up later” groups.
- Add review dates to old pages that mention values, drops, or efficiency.
- Give major crossovers or systems their own pages instead of burying them in one news note.
Site operations notes
- Before major updates, prepare returner route, new-content FAQ, and save-check pages.
- Crossovers deserve standalone hub links so search, video, and community traffic can land cleanly.
- Every update page should show a concrete update date to reduce confusion from old advice.
