Tower Lab Links Hub

Tower Lab’s official internet is small on purpose. Devon Powell and Xueer Zhu (Play Tug Studio) ship news through Steam, talk on Discord, and post video and short updates on YouTube and X. Steam Early Access is scheduled for September 7, 2026. This hub is a link list with a warning label: towerlab.wiki is not the studio, not Valve, and not a patch server. If a date, price, or card count disagrees with Steam, Steam wins.

Use the updates hub and Early Access pages when you want those store facts written in sentences. Use getting started when you want to play. This page exists so you can leave the wiki on purpose.

Official pages

Steam store (app 3084810)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3084810/Tower_Lab/
Wishlist, FAQ, system requirements, EA date, feature flags, and the only price that matters. The FAQ is also the source for the six-to-twelve-month window and the planned ~25% increase after 1.0.

Steam news and discussions
https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/3084810
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3084810/discussions/
Patch notes, playtest recaps, demo history. The public demo ran January 23 through June 29, 2026 and then came down; the news hub is where that story was posted.

Steam Workshop
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3084810/workshop/
Sandbox levels once Early Access is actually unlocked. Expanded Workshop tooling is a 1.0 roadmap line, but sharing is already listed in the EA content set.

Play Tug Studio — Tower Lab
https://www.playtugstudio.com/tower-lab
Studio landing page with the September 7, 2026 date, trailer, wishlist, press kit, and the same social buttons.

Privacy policy (studio)
https://www.playtugstudio.com/tower-lab/privacy
Last updated July 15, 2026 on the studio site. Covers gameplay telemetry, crash reports, Steam ID for leaderboards, an in-game telemetry opt-out, and a reminder that they do not sell data to advertisers. Read it on their domain, not as a paraphrase in a fan FAQ.

Community and social

Discord
https://discord.gg/towerlab
The developers call Discord the heart of development: daily presence, bug reports, contraption shares, balance arguments. If you want a Tesla node changed, this is the room. It is not a customer-support SLA.

YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/@Devon-Powell
Official gameplay, playtest captures, and trailers. The videos embedded on this wiki use real IDs from that era of footage, including the first community playtest on the Early Access page.

X
https://x.com/DevonPowell3d
Short updates from Devon Powell. Handle matches the studio’s store links.

Other studio buttons exist on Steam (Instagram, TikTok, Bilibili). This hub keeps the five channels players actually need to confirm a date: Steam, Discord, YouTube, X, studio site. If you follow extras, still verify on Steam before you trust a screenshot.

Studio privacy policy

The privacy page is official and specific. Tower Lab collects session and run telemetry to balance the game, crash reports (Sentry), and Steam ID when integration is on so leaderboards work. Gameplay telemetry can be toggled off in settings. Crash reporting and anti-cheat or tamper detection for shared leaderboards are not covered by that toggle. Data is not sold, not sent to ad networks, and GA4 was removed. Children’s data is not knowingly collected. Contact for rights requests is listed on that page.

This wiki does not process your Steam ID, does not host telemetry, and does not need that opt-out. We also do not copy the entire policy. Follow the studio URL above. If you are comparing hardware, the policy mentions Windows, macOS, and Steam Deck via Proton while stating they do not ship a native Linux build — which is why system requirements still refuses a Linux support row.

Unofficial wiki disclaimer

towerlab.wiki is a fan-made guide site. We are not affiliated with Devon Powell, Xueer Zhu, Play Tug Studio, or Valve. Tower Lab, Steam, and related marks belong to their owners. Pages here can lag a Discord hotfix by hours and a Steam FAQ edit by days.

What that means in practice:

• Shop examples such as Grinder M200 or Tesla M400 are screenshot-era numbers, not a price API.
• Region 1 no longer starting with Tesla, Salvage, and Hot Swap is a patch fact we recorded; a future patch can reverse it.
• Mode counts and core counts follow the Steam EA FAQ until the FAQ changes.
• YouTube embeds are real videos, not invented IDs, and they can show older HUDs.
• Legal pages on this site (/terms/, /privacy/, /cookies/) are the wiki’s own policies, not Play Tug Studio’s game policy.

If you need the game, wishlist Steam. If you need the studio’s privacy terms, use the studio URL. If you need to learn the no-HP rule, stay here and open a guide.

Wiki hubs worth opening next

Stay inside this wiki only if you want play advice:

• Getting started and how to play for the first energy spend.
• Physics basics for knockoffs, mass, and why Grow pays.
• Campaign walkthrough for Campaign, Standard TD, Endless, Puzzle, and Workshop.
• Tower roster and tower synergies for the twenty named towers.
• Starter decks and Matter farming for Vend-O-Lab sentences.
• Tower tier list after you accept that EA will move ranks.
• Controls and system requirements before you argue with a GPU.
• Roadmap for the 1.0 bullets.

When September 7, 2026 is close, refresh Steam before you refresh this hub. Official links change less often than physics balance, but they change first. Bookmark Discord if you like arguments. Bookmark the store if you like facts. Bookmark this wiki if you like named plans such as Wind Orbit and Scrap Line — and remember who wrote the patch that will break them.
