+=== Colonization Next Day ===
+Welcome to this explanation page about the Next Day feature!
+It is a first version of this article, added at the same time the developer build has been deployed for testing.
+It will receive better formatting and more information along with later updates!
+== Current Update ==
+Current update is a developer build and gives access to early cooking and Away Teams reports.
+== Planned updates ==
+Several issues will be addressed in two waves, one on May 13th and another on May 20th.
+On May 27th, new features will also be added.
+You will receive "Next Day Tickets" on every week so you can play three Days at once on May 27th, or even more if we find the features stable enough.
+== Known Issues ==
+It is considered to be a "Developer Build".
+Some accounts will not have access to some of these features, as some accounts being inactive for some time have different transitions in content patches which we will cover ASAP.
+Cooking experience is unclear and lack its leveling options at the moment.
+Reports are barebones, lack tooltips and events.
+There are also important resolution issues to expect on Away Teams as vertical scroll went MIA after jumping to another galaxy.
+We for now expect it to be as usable as vanilla for regular experience, if not, then please ask us in testroom alpha and we'll figure out a way to rollback to non-developer build for some users on May 13th.
+== Next Day Reports ==
+Next Day gives reports about your teams and colonies and all events that happen there. Some events can also be interactive.
+It will tell you who sleeps where, who eats what and what ahppened to Colony and Away Teams.
+[ This first version only tests basic display and interactivity, but more features will expand Next Day contents! ]
+== Your Teams ==
+Your teams can be Colony Teams or Away Teams.
+== Colony Teams ==
+Colony Teams use the Rest & Contribute game system.
+It means characters can rest or contribute work depending on their skills and status by  spreading 3, 4 or 5 points between Resting and Contributing.
+To get a normal Rest, one Rest point is enough. More Rest Points will give you a better recovery (+20% per point) from food and sleep and also generate and join Leisure Activities.
+Leisure Activities will be generated depending on equipment available at colony. They can be joined by other characters and used to restore happiness.
+If several characters are present in the same Leisure Activities they can also build friendships.
+== Away Teams ==
+Away Teams use the Survival and Dice Roll Systems.
+They first must roll for Survival, and then will continue with progression thanks to their Team Speed.
+They will avoid ambushes thanks to their Team Stealth, collect food on the way, bandage their injuries with their Team Medical, and so on.
+If characters have no Stamina left, other characters will try to carry them over, costing them more Stamina.
+If they can't, the team becomes Stranded. This means they'll stop progressing and are stuck, they must be rescued in that case. Every Next Day, a Stranded team will make rolls to avoid injuries, losing communications, and become Lost.
+A team can also become Lost by other events. When this happens, you have no news and must send another team to "Investigate".
+All these featuers are programmed on backend, but front-end does not yet have the capacity to show dice rolls and interactions, so for now Away Teams are safely doing their "first progression" in Team Speed.
