Official confirmed
Current Steam store text, official patch notes, roadmap material or other first-party statements. This is our highest-confidence tier.
Editorial standard
Evidence before page count.
Western Rye is an Early Access game. That makes source date and build context part of the answer—not fine print.
Developer report
Direct developer replies on community platforms. Useful, but always dated because Early Access behavior can change.
Player / video report
Useful for discovering pain points and live-build behavior. We seek a second source before turning a report into a definitive mechanics claim.
Old version / pending
Demo-era details and unanswered launch questions remain visibly labeled. We do not silently carry old values into the Early Access build.
Hard rule
No invented prices, recipes, drop rates, coordinates, hidden items, characters, quest steps, resource locations or boss mechanics. A smaller truthful site is preferable to a larger hallucinated one.
