What this log covers — and what it doesn't
Covered: new pages, in-depth guide expansions, major data pipeline improvements, incidents and their fixes — each with what changed and why. Not covered: routine daily data updates (codes / weather / resource spots) — the pipeline runs silently 7 times a day, and the latest fetch time is shown right on the homepage data panel.
Pipeline upgrade & content deep-dives
7 fetches a day + scheduled audits
Fetch slots were expanded to 7 per day (06:10–23:30 Beijing time), plus 3 automatic audits (12:50 / 21:50 / 23:50). If a scheduled run is dropped by the platform, a retry is triggered immediately — codes no longer depend on precise cron timing.
Codes moved to the comment API
After the official code moved into a post's comment section, the pipeline switched to the comment API and attributes each code by its publish time, auto-backfilling a rolling 14-day window — no more mistaking an old code for today's.
Deep-dive analysis sections
Fishing "Fishery Economics", recipes "Profit Deep Dive", gifts "Favor Economics" and weather "The Weather Ledger" went live one by one — real in-game numbers to compute the opportunity cost of every activity, synced across zh / en / ja / ko.
Fishing page restructured
Every fish now gets its own heading (name + location + weather + time) plus FAQ structured data, matching "where to catch X" queries; page titles across languages were aligned with real search terms.
About page & code archive
"About Us" launched
Editor profile, data sources and maintenance commitments in one place (4 languages) — so you know exactly who runs this site and where the data comes from.
Code history archive
A day-by-day record of "code / no code", letting you verify what the official source published on any given date.
Custom-domain caching fixed
Fixed stale data on the custom domain: daily data now caches for 2 minutes and weather for 10, so you always see the latest fetch.
AdSense review debrief
The first review was rejected for "low value content"; a content-deepening plan followed — the deep-dive sections listed above are its direct output.
Recipes & gift guides launched
Recipes page launched
Profit curves, ingredient sourcing and stove upgrade routes (4 languages).
Gift guide launched
Per-NPC favorite gifts, the daily gift quota, and zero-cost favorites (4 languages).
Site-wide clean URLs
Internal links were unified to extension-less URLs, matching the hosting platform's redirect rules and removing extra 308 hops.
Pipeline incident fix
Sept 18–21 outage post-mortem
Three stacked causes: a UTC-vs-Beijing timezone bug in scheduled runs, a gap in the weather calendar, and a stale code source. All missing data was backfilled, and self-checks were added so a silent failure can't happen again.
