FAQ
Before you use the manual
Is this an official Sandustry website?
No. It is an independent guide with explicit source levels.
Are gameplay guides official?
No. Official facts are VERIFIED; workflow advice is labelled BOUNDED or COMMUNITY.
Why are four topics missing?
They remain backlog because the frozen contract does not yet support independent pages for them.
