Official announcements establish systems. Live-build evidence establishes exact values. Planning advice is labeled separately.
Current patch, support, Towns, Cargo/Industry and Steam achievement sources checked October 13, 2026. Documentation fields, content modification dates, measured game values and editorial procedures remain separate. Each source retains its actual check date; historical sources have not been silently marked current. Installed game builds and independent observations remain Unknown where no test occurred.
Evidence conflicts and source scope
The current Known Issues update marks Park & Ride crashes fixed by the October9 mod update, with residual errors possible. Its older warning is historical. Epic/GOG rollout is announced but current client build is unconfirmed. The Company and Finances manual currently carries an old-revision warning; unsupported loan limits and perk values are not current facts.
3 current patch/support status or scope notes are recorded with the source snapshots, alongside the earlier entity conflict ledger below.
Marketing lower bounds do not define a canonical roster. The 32-industry and 36-cargo tables cover documented free-game entries; all-mode totals and variant/resource counts remain unreconciled. Disputed core fields keep their records held.
vehicle totals
Status: OPEN
275+ realistic vehicles
more than 300 vehicles
Standard/base game: more than 300 vehicles
more than 300 vehicles in the base game; historical July 9 post
more than 300 authentic vehicles; September 29 launch release
These are different lower-bound marketing statements, not exact counts. No public canonical roster or counting methodology was located. The current edition page assigns more-than-300 to Standard, so simply attributing the difference to six Deluxe vehicles is unsupported.
The manual table enumerates exactly 32 entries. Exclusion of campaign-specific industries offers a possible scope explanation, but no full all-mode industry roster or exact combined total is available.
Fertilizer producer
Status: OPEN
Chemical Plant
Oil Refinery produces Fertilizer; Chemical Plant rule lists Dyes and Plastic
Machines boosting Iron Ore Mine and Logging Camp
Status: OPEN
Machines consumers include Iron Ore Mine and Logging Camp
Both rows have a dash in Booster
manual table industry labels
Status: OPEN_ALIAS
Farm; Food Factory; Bricks Works
Crop Farm; Canning Factory; Brick Works
The table contexts strongly suggest naming aliases, but no internal canonical resource IDs or explicit alias declaration were available.
Quarry Dry climate marker
Status: OPEN_QUALIFIER
Quarry Dry availability is (checkmark), while other listed climates use a plain checkmark
Canning Factory alternative input grouping
Status: OPEN_QUALIFIER
2 Fish or 2 Meat and 1 Sheet Metal -> 2 Canned Food
required produced category

Show both platform/manual terms; do not publish a universal exact strategy or promote an individual page until reconciled
achievement career ladder spelling
Status: DISPLAY_ALIAS
Carreer Ladder
Career Ladder
Canonical manual spelling with Epic alias; requirements agree
global path-signal classification
Status: OPEN
Do not use this sentence alone as TF3 classification proof; distinguish TF3-labeled local operating examples
Steam Workshop support
Status: OPEN
Use current FAQ on distribution; omit stale Workshop manual sentence
manual finances old revision
Status: HOLD
Treat exact finance/loan constants from that page as historical until another current primary corroborates
manual cursor option label
Status: DISPLAY_WORDING
Current table names Use System Mouse Cursor
End-of-page text uses hardware mouse cursor terminology
Describe cursor rendering and windowed-mode test; do not guarantee both labels exist
Cargo total scope
Status: OPEN_SCOPE
Historical article: 37 cargo types
Current manual: 36 free-game entries
No complete all-mode resource list was available. Preserve both scopes; do not invent a missing entity.
Each entity needs traceable sources, a verification date, live build or unambiguous official entity evidence, useful populated fields, a distinct search purpose and a stable canonical URL. A short name and a “coming soon” message do not pass.

Evidence labels
Confirmed official
Current manual, patch, support and Steam evidence have explicit scope. Historical developer statements remain dated context.
Live-build verified
An observation includes a specific released build and its supporting evidence.
Source conflict
Credible sources differ. Both claims remain visible until reconciled.
Unknown / independent test required
The exact value is not established. No guessed presets are published. Preliminary identity sheets are noindex and excluded from the sitemap.
Official media provenance
67 unique official images, sourced from Urban Games’ news and media library. Optimized files and a homepage derivative are not counted as additional unique assets. The linked press Drive pack could not be retrieved; the official website supplied the library below.

Historical context and corrections
TF2 can help explain familiar terminology, but its prices, recipes, maintenance or growth calculations are not evidence for TF3. Guides describe conceptual inspection steps unless a live verification is explicitly stated.
