Latest official patch note

Patch 1.0.013r, published on August 21, 2026, is the newest patch note in Steam's official news list as of August 28. Its summary includes five save slots and fixes involving story progression, Sonic Bath behavior, a memory leak, older Mac compatibility, Asian fonts, controllers, firmware, competitions, soldering, and several device-specific issues.

The wording refers to the latest official announcement, not necessarily the version currently installed by Steam. A later unannounced build or a notice published after August 28 would not be reflected until the official news page is checked again.

The first listed full-game update, `1.0.009r`, addressed achievements, firmware, Sonic Bath behavior, and device bugs and also carried the developer’s AI-related statement. `1.0.010r` accompanied soundtrack and Artbook news and addressed save crashes, missing screws, and Robby Wires issues.

Patch `1.0.011r` covered inventory, Sonic Bath achievement counting, Palette UI, uncleanable parts, task items, and Jack of all trades. The `1.0.013r` announcement then broadened the fix list and added save slots. These summaries are structured paraphrases of official notices rather than copied patch notes.

Full-game updates, demos, and Playtests are different

Posts from December 2025 and January 2026 describe Playtest versions such as `0.1.015r` and `0.1.018`. They are older development notes, not current fixes for the released game. A bug mentioned there may have changed before launch, so Playtest advice should not be used as a current workaround.

The June demo is another older version. Its announcement introduced Patento BS, Airbrush and Color Palettes, tips, and other demo content, but Steam no longer listed a demo on August 28. Demo behavior may differ from the full game.

Launch notices on July 23, August 4, and August 6 establish the release date, launch pricing context, official 15+ hour estimate, platform notes, and the launch trailer. They mark the change from pre-release history to the 1.0.x patches.
