Big Ambitions Wiki

This is an independent Big Ambitions wiki for players using the 1.0 release line. Use it to solve a specific task—starting a business, automating stock, building a factory, locating an item, or checking a patch—then follow the source label when a detail could have changed. Hovgaard Games does not operate this site. ^[01]

Start with the task you are trying to finish

• I am new or stuck in the opening objectives: use the beginner guide.
• I need a first business: compare the best starting business options before signing another lease.
• I keep driving stock to stores: build the warehouse import and delivery chain.
• I want to manufacture goods: follow the factory setup guide and check the current in-game recipe first.
• A delivery stopped: diagnose it with the no-delivery checklist.
• I need a location or item: use the map guide and browse the Items category.
• An old guide looks different from my game: check the patch notes and update history.

The complete Wiki index groups every published page by category. Search is better when you know the object or error message; category browsing is better when you are learning a system.

How evidence labels work

Every guide separates four levels of confidence:

• Official: Steam store details, developer announcements, official help, or a direct developer statement.
• Verified in-game: a behavior checked in the named version, platform, mode, and date.
• Community report: a reproducible player finding that the official sources do not document in enough detail.
• Unconfirmed / background: a claim retained only to explain uncertainty; it must not be presented as fact.

Read the full editorial and source policy when a claim affects a large purchase, a save migration, a mod, or a time-sensitive feature.

The current version boundary

Big Ambitions left Early Access on August 28, 2026. The Steam store now lists the full release while retaining March 10, 2023 as the Early Access start date. It also lists Windows and macOS support and single-player as the official play mode. ^[01]

That matters because the game changed substantially during Early Access. A guide written for EA 0.9 can describe a different factory, product, blueprint, or economy. This wiki uses 1.0 as its default scope and names older versions only when the history is necessary.

Updates override old advice

The official news index places the 1.0 release after EA 0.11 and the EA 0.10 factory overhaul. ^[02] When a new patch changes a workflow:

1. the dated official note establishes that the change shipped;
2. the affected guide is rechecked against the current build;
3. community findings remain labeled until they are verified or replaced;
4. unresolved details stay visible as an evidence boundary instead of being guessed.

This page is a navigation entry, not a claim that every possible Big Ambitions question has already been answered. If a page lacks reliable evidence, the site should show that gap rather than manufacture a solution.
