Station Master Tycoon Changelog & Patch Tracking

Roblox games update quietly. Station Master Tycoon can change guest thoughts, shop unlock order, train timing, or build menu categories without a blog post you will ever see. This changelog tracking page explains how this wiki records patches — not a fabricated day-by-day dump copied from code-aggregator sites. We log what we verify in-game, align with content/facts.json, and ripple changes into Tier List Hub, Players Hub, and Guides Hub when behavior shifts.

Use Free Forever History for the major monetization milestone (roughly 35 Robux early access → free forever). Use this page for ongoing maintenance discipline and a rolling log template as confirmed updates arrive.

Verification principles

We add changelog entries only when at least one primary signal confirms a player-facing change:

1. Roblox experience update — version bump or “Updated” tag on the game page with reproducible in-game diffs.
2. In-game observation — new build menu icon, changed tutorial step, altered guest thought text, or fixed boarding bug you can trigger twice.
3. Official Taco Dev announcement — social post or devforum note we can link internally (external URLs belong on Links Hub when configured).

We do not add entries from:

• Random code list websites claiming daily drops (Codes Hub stays empty until we redeem a string).
• YouTube titles with “NEW CODE” and no footage of working redemption.
• Player rumors about star nerfs without screenshot or video evidence.

When evidence is partial, we file a pending note in editor drafts — not public changelog — until a second verifier checks.

What we track vs ignore

Tracked (major)

• New amenity or shop categories → update Amenities Priority and Shops Tier.
• Guest AI or Press E text changes → update Guest Feedback.
• World train or visit rules → update Visiting Other Stations.
• Economy shifts to stars, cash payouts, or unlock thresholds.
• Access policy changes (see Free Forever).
• Code system UI moves affecting How to Redeem pages when those exist.

Tracked (minor, one line)

• Visual glitches fixed with no mechanic change.
• Single new decor prop with no new need type.
• Performance patches on mobile.

Ignored

• Wiki-only typo fixes.
• Third-party stat sites refreshing “last played” counters.
• Unverified “leaked” passes without store listing proof.

Rolling log format

Each confirmed entry should read:

### YYYY-MM-DD — Short title
**Verified by:** in-game / Roblox update flag / official post
**Changed:** bullet list of player-facing diffs
**Wiki impact:** which pages we updated

Below is the seed log from established facts. Expand upward as patches land.

2024-02-19 — Initial release

Verified by: Roblox store metadata, wiki facts file
Changed: Station Master Tycoon launches; build sandbox with AI guests, platforms, scenery tools, and world trains to other stations.
Wiki impact: Base guides, tier frameworks, players hub.

2024 (early access window) — Paid early access (~35 Robux)

Verified by: community history, pre-free videos, store transition narrative
Changed: Supporters purchased entry before public free launch; core loop identical for owners.
Wiki impact: Free Forever documents the later policy change.

Free forever transition — Public free launch

Verified by: official description banner “NOW FREE FOREVER” on Roblox
Changed: Entry fee removed; title shows [FREE]; player population and visit traffic increased.
Wiki impact: Facts file free forever note; codes and guides assume zero Robux entry.

2026-08 — Wiki audit baseline (no new game patch claimed)

Verified by: editorial review
Changed: No active public promo codes; redemption menu still in settings. Guest need tiers and three layout archetypes documented.
Wiki impact: Tier-list and players content refresh; changelog methodology published here.

Future dated headings insert above the baseline audit when you confirm patches.

After each update — player checklist

1. Load place 16436846604 on PC and one mobile device if possible.
2. Run tutorial or spawn guest cycle; note new thought strings.
3. Open build menu; screenshot any new star unlock row.
4. Board a world train; confirm visit flow still works.
5. Attempt Codes tab in settings; if a public code works, update Codes Hub same session.
6. File wiki edits starting with facts.json if release status or server size changes.

How wiki pages stay synchronized

npm run verify:facts compares cross-page statements about release date, co-op, and free access. When changelog records a mechanic change, editors update JSON sources — never hand-edit generated MDX per AGENTS.md — then run npm run sync before build.

Tier and guide pages cross-link so a single outdated sentence fails human review even when automated verify passes. Changelog is the audit trail explaining why those sentences changed.

Reporting mistakes

If our log misses a verified patch or lists a fake one, compare your notes against Roblox version timing and guest behavior. We prioritize reproducible steps over anecdote. Pending rumors stay off this page until confirmed.
