Editorial & Corrections Policy

See how GRAIN ROT Field Guide verifies primary sources, labels uncertainty, dates patch-sensitive claims, handles corrections, and avoids invented facts.

By GRAIN ROT Field GuideFact-checked with primary sources
Quick answer

Official sources come first, repeatable gameplay evidence comes second, and community reports are labeled until independently verified.

Source hierarchy

  • Official Steam listing, announcements, and developer FAQ.
  • Current in-game evidence that can be repeated.
  • Multiple consistent community reports.
  • Single forum comments as leads, not confirmation.

Corrections

Material corrections are made as soon as a reliable source is available. Patch-sensitive pages display an updated date, and unresolved conflicts stay visible rather than being smoothed over.

Commercial separation

Future sponsorships or affiliate relationships, if any, will be disclosed near the affected content and will not determine factual conclusions.

Answer-first format

Every search-focused page begins with a short answer written to stand on its own. It then explains assumptions, exceptions, steps, and failure cases. This format serves a human scanning the page, a search result extracting a passage, and an answer engine looking for a clear attributable statement without hiding nuance.

No invented completeness

An empty exact answer is not filled with a plausible guess. If an item location, enemy value, console date, or AI disclosure cannot be verified, the page states the uncertainty and provides a safe next action. Pages are expanded when evidence improves rather than silently backfilling fiction.

Search-demand threshold

A page must solve a distinct question, not merely repeat another page with a swapped keyword. Enemies, items, characters, and biomes begin in navigation hubs. They graduate to standalone pages when a stable name, unique answer, sufficient evidence, and clear search or support demand exist together.

GEO and structured answer policy

Entity names, dates, platforms, developers, and publishers are stated consistently. Quick answers, question headings, visible sources, update dates, breadcrumbs, FAQ markup, and article metadata help search and generative-answer systems understand and cite the page. Structured data reflects visible content and is never used to claim reviews, ratings, or official status the site does not possess.
