Hey fellow sand-puncher,

This site started because three of us spent launch weekend losing drills to cave-ins and nobody had written anything down yet. The game is two days old. Every number here was measured by hand, in-game, at least once — and where we guessed, we said so.

We are not a wiki farm. There is no ad network here, no AI content pipeline, no SEO intern. Just a few saves worth of notes, formatted so the next shift can read them.

If a number looks wrong, it probably is — patches land fast and we all have day jobs. The Steam forums thread is where corrections live.

See you at 800 meters.

— the night shift
