About this field manual
This independent guide turns primary sources, current community testing, and version-labelled observations into direct answers for IRON NEST players.
Methodology
Official product pages, achievements, FAQs, roadmaps, patch notes, and developer statements are separated from community guides and player reports. Multiple pages copying one dataset are not treated as independent confirmation. Unknown or conflicted details remain labelled rather than filled by inference.
Page policy
One search task maps to one canonical page. A page is published only when it can answer that task without inventing values. Tool formulas and checklist thresholds show their evidence level and review date.
Updates and corrections
The last independently reviewed gameplay baseline is 1.0 (1622), observed August 18, 2026. Newer build numbers reported by community sources are labelled as community evidence until independently reviewed. Older version-labelled observations remain attached to the claims they support instead of being silently upgraded. Source links are included on each guide so readers can compare the underlying evidence.
