Confirmed update anchors

Version-sensitive topics
| Topic | Why to check the date |
|---|
| Mods | Workshop support became central with EA 0.11, so older mod advice may miss the current flow. |
| Best business rankings | Profit routes can shift when prices, buildings, employees, or systems change. |
| Product prices | Static tables are useful, but 1.0-era changes and dynamic satisfaction still matter. |
| Buildings and M1 searches | Building comparisons should use current size, capacity, traffic, and parking data. |
| Interior, hygiene, and security | These are operating systems where exact values are more sensitive than broad advice. |
How to use older guides
If a route or guide was made before 1.0, use it for ideas first. Treat numbers, profit rankings, item locations, and system formulas as version-sensitive until checked in the current game.
Roadmap and patch-note FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|
| What does this page answer? | It tells you which recent official update anchors matter before trusting older prices, routes, mods, and system advice. |
| Is 1.0 the current reference point? | Yes for this guide set. The page treats the 2026-08-29 Big Ambitions 1.0 full release as the main current-version anchor. |
| Why do old guides still appear in search? | Many useful community routes were made during Early Access. They can still teach decision patterns, but their numbers and mechanics need a version check. |
| Which topics are most version-sensitive? | Mods, prices, business rankings, M1/building choices, interior score, hygiene, security, imports, shortages, and backorders. |
| Where should I verify a changed system? | Check Steam App News, the official site/news channel, the current in-game UI, and then community discussions for practical effects. |
| Should roadmap be a promise list? | This page should stay tied to confirmed news and patch notes. Future items belong here after an official roadmap source gives dated details. |
