Version boundary
All live pages are written against a 1.0.6 snapshot. The official patch archive shows 1.0.6 on 23 Aug 2026, with save-file checks and crash-save behavior changes. The same archive shows 1.0.5 adding private lobbies and changing the minimum locked FPS, and 1.0.4 attempting a co-op black-screen fix.
| Version | What matters for this site | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.6 | Save-file validation before load; crashes no longer save server/local state; manual actions and minute autosaves remain. | Official patch note ↗ |
| 1.0.5 | Private invite-only lobbies; session type setting; minimum locked FPS changed from 50 to 30; island travel exploit fixed. | Official patch note ↗ |
| 1.0.4 | Up to 8-player lobbies; pufferfish and whale balance changes; black-screen and gray-screen fixes were attempted. | Official patch note ↗ |

Update rule
When a new patch lands, update the version boundary first, then re-check pages whose answers depend on saves, lobby behavior, island gating, or achievement triggers. Search volume is not treated as proven demand until it is measured separately from Steam interest.
