Guide library
This field manual keeps current, source-backed notes separate from guesses and outdated Early Access footage.
Start with the verified beginner route, then use the category sections as the content rollout expands.
Understand Pax Autocratica's verified colony, expedition, capture, Core, and Prison loop, with practical planning boundaries for the Early Access build.
Start Pax Autocratica with a stable production chain, staffed food and transport, a prepared first expedition, and clear Early Access evidence boundaries.
Use documented Prologue Order, Stock, and Auto behavior as a diagnostic model only after confirming those modes still exist in the current main build.
Plan a readable Pax Autocratica colony around production flow, transport, Warehouse access, food service, pathing checks, and room for build changes.
Review Prologue-documented Resource Transport Station hauling as a diagnostic model, then verify assigned work and Warehouse delivery in the current build.
Learn how to gear soldiers in Pax Autocratica with build-sensitive moderator and community evidence on role cards, Leader equipment, and manual limits.
Understand Soldier Aging On and Off, immediate setting changes, official Aged movement and work penalties, community tradeoffs, and version-sensitive limits.
Fix soldier hunger by tracing raw materials, Kitchen production, transport, Food Hall access, staffing, and usable stock without inventing consumption rates.
Learn how Weapon Cores, Combination Cores, squad effects, and patch changes shape a Pax Autocratica expedition without relying on an outdated tier list.
Build Pax Autocratica Core synergies for crowds, bosses, survival, squads, or control with patch-stamped tests instead of a fabricated permanent ranking.
Weaken targets, use current Capture Rounds, handle AG-14 failure protection, and verify enemy eligibility before returning captives to the Prison.
Follow the Pax Autocratica captive path from Prison research and intake through status review and processing, while avoiding obsolete capacity claims.
Convert prisoners with current-build Prison evidence, separate indoctrination from risky player-reported electroshock, and plan for a new citizen.
Prepare for Elysia Oasis with the official July difficulty, turret, weak-point, enemy-count, and spawn-interval changes separated from old footage.
Update first, then diagnose the historical Space Resources tutorial-order softlock, its expedition-restart workaround, and the shipped July flow fix.
Check the exact Windows 10, CPU, 16 GB RAM, 1080p and 1440p GPU, DirectX 11, and storage requirements published on the Pax Autocratica Steam page.
Follow the official verify-files, DLSS, and Frame Generation sequence, then compare one base or battle scene before changing resolution and heavy settings.
Classify a mission-load freeze or crash, apply the official file, DLSS, and Frame Generation checks, preserve saves, and report the exact build context.
Find the independently documented Windows save path, back up the whole folder safely, and distinguish it from official Steam Cloud and automatic backups.
Diagnose 21:9 and wider blur, stretching, cropping, or dead UI controls with aspect-ratio, DLSS, display-mode, and Screen.ini evidence kept separate.
