## Tomorrow de-duplicated queue — 2026-06-03

| priority | platform | action | duplicate guard |
|---:|---|---|---|
| 1 | Steam Guide | Check whether owner published guide; if live, record proof_url/rel; if blocked, record exact Steam permission error. | Do not create another Steam candidate until this one is resolved. |
| 2 | Official Subnautica Discord / Wiki | Check policy-review reply or message proof; only then decide if wiki edit is safe. | Do not directly edit wiki before approval. |
| 3 | IGN contact | If foreground captcha/form completed, record sent/form evidence; otherwise keep manual_required and replace with new candidate. | Do not retry automation/captcha bypass. |
| 4 | EPICTREASURE creator outreach | Check sent evidence/reply; no public YouTube link comment. | Do not bulk-message creators. |
| 5 | Z1 Gaming creator outreach | Check sent evidence/reply; no public YouTube link comment. | Do not duplicate same creator angle. |
| 6 | Polygon / Vox tip route | New replacement candidate if one of the above remains blocked: map/resource reference pitch via official tips/contact route only. | New candidate, not previously sent. |
| 7 | Map Genie/community comparison | New replacement candidate: search for safe public suggestion/contact route before any action. | Avoid competitor-thread hijack. |
