Wild West Pioneers official links

This hub is a phone book, not a news ticker. Wild West Pioneers is an upcoming Windows city builder from EmpireCraft Studios and Toplitz Productions. Early Access is scheduled for 25 September 2026 on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. The campaign is single-player. Dates, playtest waves, and scope live on the Updates Hub, Early Access plans, and the open playtest page. What follows is only URLs the studio or publisher actually owns, plus the wiki routes you will want after you click them.

If a stranger pastes a different Discord invite, a “free key” Steam page, or a storefront that is not one of the three below, ignore it. This wiki is unofficial; it does not sell keys and it does not replace Toplitz support.

Store pages

Three PC storefronts list the game. Wishlist the one you actually buy from; the others are still useful for screenshots and system text.

• Steam (main app 3222640). store.steampowered.com/app/3222640/Wild_West_Pioneers — wishlist, Request Access for playtest waves, Steam news, and the Early Access FAQ. This is also where Steam will put the paid client on 25 September.
• Steam demo (app 3700780). store.steampowered.com/app/3700780/Wild_West_Pioneers_Demo — the listing Steam created on 18 February 2026, ahead of Next Fest on 23 February. Use it to install or reinstall that slice; walk it with the demo walkthrough.
• GOG. gog.com/en/game/wild_west_pioneers — DRM-free storefront copy of the same Windows game. Feature text matches Steam; buy here if you want a GOG library entry instead of a Steam depot.
• Epic Games Store. store.epicgames.com/p/wild-west-pioneers-a9a09c — the Epic listing for the same Early Access day. Do not confuse the slug with other western titles on Epic.

Steam remains the only storefront that hosts the playtest Request Access button and the community hub. GOG and Epic are purchase doors, not playtest doors.

Community, news, and support

• Steam community hub. steamcommunity.com/app/3222640 — news posts (The Open Playtest Is Live!, Know Where You’re Headed, wishlist notes), discussions, and bug threads. Sort by official posts before you trust a player rumor about a secret build.
• Toplitz Discord. discord.gg/toplitz — publisher Discord. Playtest survey links and patch talk usually appear here beside Steam news. This is the invite on the store page; do not follow a look-alike slug.
• Publisher site. toplitz-productions.com — studio/publisher news, including the February demo announcement that the trek left camp before Next Fest. Support tickets for Toplitz titles also start from the publisher site, not from this wiki.

When a date on Discord disagrees with Steam, believe Steam and the Updates Hub. This wiki will not invent version numbers to settle an argument in chat.

Social accounts

Toplitz posts trailers and date cards on the following accounts. They are useful for the announcement teaser and for knowing when a playtest wave opened; they are poor places to paste a 40-line crash log.

• YouTube. youtube.com/@toplitzproductions — demo trailer, date announcement, and other official video. The Early Access article on this wiki embeds the announcement teaser via the page field, not as a second player in the body.
• X. x.com/toplitzprod — short date posts and wishlist milestones (including the roughly 130,000 wishlists noted around 8 September 2026).
• Facebook. facebook.com/toplitzproductions — the same publisher posts in a longer feed.

If an account that is not in this list claims to be EmpireCraft support and asks you to move a conversation off Steam, it is not a source we will cite.

Wiki pages to open after you wishlist

A store page will not teach warehouse radius. After you click Steam, come back here in this order:

1. Beginner guide and first settlement — first hour, Town Hall, water, and a warehouse that can actually see the logger.
2. Production chains — wood, food, alcohol, and why distance to storage matters before Dusty Village vanity.
3. Settlers — happiness, jobs, wishes, and why a dry saloon empties a street.
4. Expeditions — Scout Cabin, wagon loads, and when a second town is a trap.
5. Housing, food, and industry under the building priority list — what to unlock first when the journal offers three buildings at once.
6. Controls, system requirements, and the building list — keys, Windows specs, and names. Indexes: guides hub and tools hub.

Read Early Access plans so you know the paid window is planned for about a year with more chains, buildings, transport, events, and maps still ahead. Read the open playtest page if you still hope for a wave before 14 September 2026, 08:00 UTC.

How to tell this wiki from the publisher

This site is a fan wiki. It does not accept keys, it does not run the playtest, and it does not speak for EmpireCraft or Toplitz. Legal pages on this domain are English-only site policies, not Steam subscriber terms. When store copy changes — a new FAQ paragraph, a replaced art credit, a moved date — the Updates Hub should move with it. Until a numbered patch exists, do not expect a changelog here that Steam itself has not posted.

Pin the five URLs you will actually reuse: the Steam app, the Steam demo app, GOG, Epic, and discord.gg/toplitz. Everything else on this page is a spare door to the same publisher. If a future store slug changes, this hub will update; until then, the ten official URLs above are the whole list this wiki is willing to print.
