Historical guidance: confirm the mission still exists before copying any value.

Fred's mission guide looks out of date

First actionCheck that your mission name and objective match the old Fred's Star Demo finale.

Check nextYour current mission name and objective either match the Demo record or tell you to stop following it.

Following an old Fred's Star guide? The mission was presented as the Demo finale, and its full-release status still needs checking.

Quick answer

Try this first

Do not treat the old Demo sequence or charger values as current instructions. First confirm that the same Fred mission exists in your full-release save.

  1. 1

    Check that your mission name and objective match the old Fred's Star Demo finale.

  2. 2

    If they do not match, stop following the old walkthrough.

  3. 3

    If they do match, treat charger and tower values as unconfirmed until they are reproduced in the current build.

Visual orientation

Check the version before copying an old solution

Make the demo-versus-current-version boundary immediately visible without claiming that the old mission exists now.

What is happening

The available instructions come from the Demo

The official community page described Fred's Star as the Demo finale. The full game has since released, so old numeric advice may no longer describe the current mission.

Troubleshooting

If that does not solve it

  • Compare the exact mission name and objective before changing your circuit.
  • Do not copy old charger values into a different full-release task.
  • Update 1.0.011 added labels to Wireless Transmitters, but that interface change does not prove the old Fred Demo mission exists in the full release.
  • Until a current-build run is captured, use this page as a version warning rather than a walkthrough.

Before you switch paths

Carry three signals forward.

A changed guide is easier to test when it starts from the exact point where this one stopped.

  1. 01
    Current game version and active mission

    Old values can describe a different build or objective.

  2. 02
    The part, input, or control path that failed

    Use the current in-game name and note the ports or axis involved.

  3. 03
    What happened after the first action

    Record one observed result before changing several things at once.

These notes describe your own run; they do not turn a community report into current-game proof.

Confidence

What is confirmed

The Demo origin is confirmed. The mission's current full-release availability and solution are not.

  • The official community page labels Fred's Star as the Demo finale.
  • A discussion thread shows real confusion about charger output and tower progress.
  • Official update 1.0.011 added labels to Wireless Transmitters; it did not announce the return of the Fred Demo mission.
  • Old community values cannot establish current full-release behavior.
