FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Which guide should I read first?
The Beginner Guide. It walks through the core loop and the first commission end to end.
Do the guides cover every fabric?
No. The Fabrics wiki page covers categories and structure; individual prices and effects are only added after UI verification.
Why do guides mention build numbers?
The studio shipped Build 403 and Build 410 right after launch. Mechanic pages must say which version they were verified against.
