Use these developer-confirmed fixes when a system appears stuck.
Lake and river cleaners
The official Steam FAQ says the first water cleaner works only on lakes; a river cleaner unlocks later. Match the cleaner to the water body instead of treating them as interchangeable.
When production stops
The same FAQ says production is frozen while the game is paused. If a factory appears idle, check the pause state before rebuilding the network.
Zoom and missing objects
Steam's FAQ says to scroll out or right-click to zoom out of a dome. If an object is missing, it may unlock through the relevant biome research tree.
Carnivore feeder checklist
For a carnivore feeder that is not filling, the official answer is to check that the factory is working and that enough orbs are available; build an orb factory if needed.
Evidence boundary
These are practical answers from the official Steam Community FAQ. They do not establish hidden costs, universal ratios, redemption codes, or a complete unlock order.
