Community feedback loop
Developers plan to listen to the Steam hub and social channels while balancing and adding content. Bring structured feedback—not just memes—after you use the Co-op Planner and Fish Checklist.
When in doubt, the store page remains the canonical schedule source; this hub translates it into player action.
Distinguishing rumors from Steam news
If a claim lacks a Steam news post, official social post, or in-game patch string, mark it rumor in your group doc. Rumors can be fun; they should not rewrite tier lists. This hub exists to point at durable pages like Early Access Roadmap when people ask “what are they adding?” for the tenth time.
Changelog vocabulary for your Discord
Standardize emoji-free tags in posts: ADD, TUNE, FIX, RUMOR. RUMOR posts must include “do not tier yet.” Shared vocabulary stops half the group from rearranging Fish Tier List because someone misread a meme as a patch.
Linking patches back to player habits
Every patch note should end with a habit suggestion: “reopen danger list,” “add checklist rows,” or “no action—cosmetics only.” Habit suggestions translate abstract changelogs into lobby behavior. Without them, people nod at Steam news and then play with week-one assumptions until a modifier surprises them mid-feed. Make habit lines a house style for your patch captain posts.
Quiet week protocol
On weeks with no Steam news, post a deliberate no-notes message and spend the energy improving checklists instead of inventing rumors. Quiet weeks are for literacy, not conspiracy. Your future selves will thank you when a real modifier patch finally arrives.
