What the roadmap means for guides
Unknown Worlds says updates will range from hotfixes to system improvements and larger expansions. The most fragile pages are exact locations, crafting requirements, vehicle progression, and story steps.
- Review resource routes after biome or resource changes.
- Review tool pages after crafting or scanner changes.
- Review multiplayer pages after co-op updates.
- Keep a recently updated section on the homepage after each patch.
Update coverage plan
Use one evergreen roadmap page for the big picture, then add patch-specific pages only when an update changes player behavior or search demand.

Roadmap FAQ
Will every patch change this guide?
Not always. Small hotfixes may only need a freshness review, while larger updates can change routes, recipes, tools, vehicles, or co-op behavior.
