We are addressing three owner concerns: a convincing survivorslike with hordes and spectacular builds, a readable wiki, and a clear account of the player's fun, excitement, challenge and emotions.

- **Discovery and home:** two rewritten articles, a combined critique and author response, accepted at 10:48. Read [Discovery in a changing station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station) and [Home and the people you bring back](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20And%20Colony%20Loop).

- **Reading links:** a [four-page starting route](/Hold%20The%20Flood) and scoped repairs to eight reference pages. This is not a claim that every reference is now readable or coherent.

Temporary combat upgrades reset on **every return home**, alive or revived. Physical carried equipment, components and loot are retained. This owner decision is recorded and no longer needs an answer.

| Task | Responsible | Current state | Next delivery |

| 47 — Builds and expedition growth | Systems / PM | Closed at 12:05; final connected-build rules and examples published | Written proposal accepted; growth preference still open |

| 38 — Full design readiness | PM | Reopened after owner feedback | First-pass wiki 15 September |

Should temporary power grow **regularly during fighting**, with bigger upgrades at major horde milestones, or **only after clearing or sealing a horde**? PM recommends regular growth: for example, two upgrades during a ward fight, then a transformation after its main surge. This provides a more continuous rise in power, at the cost of more frequent choices. The current stage-only draft remains provisional. Both options reset temporary upgrades whenever you return home.

An answer is pending. Room geometry, controls, accessibility, equipment and readability work continue. Only the dependent final growth rules wait for this preference.

| Milestone | Target | Plausible range |

| Combat/build initial drafts | Actual today 11:17 | Lead submitted 11:07 |

| Whole readable first-pass wiki | 15 September | 13–17 September |

Both new drafts and their review arrived earlier than forecast. PM checked the review against the actual sources and assigned one consolidated response to each author. The room proposal retains 24 module identities and 40 rooms. Crowd capacity, traversal timing, readable combat and fun remain untested.

**Forecast revised at 12:40:** the integrated target moves from 15:00 to 14:00, with a 13:30–14:30 range, because both drafts and the review arrived early. This still allows for the authors’ corrections and PM verification. The earlier 12:06 estimate had moved the target from 14:00 to 15:00 while those submissions were pending. Overall wiki and campaign dates are unchanged.

Confidence is moderate for the next batch, low for the first-pass wiki and very low for detailed campaign work pending fresh scope estimation. Dates assume the existing three roles and PM are available approximately 6–8 active hours per working day. A first-pass wiki means a coherent, readable proposed design with open choices clearly identified. It does not establish fun, balance or campaign duration. Implementation, simulation, playtesting and assets require separate authorization.
