About the field guide

Answers for the problem in front of you.

Probably Stolen Field Guide is an independent, English-language guide for players of Probably Stolen.

What you can find here

Start with the task you are trying to finish: finding water after buying Water Trading, using chemistry filters and reading extraction progress, or understanding a printer job that takes several powered nights.

Each answer names the relevant items, gives the next steps and explains what to check in the game.

Sources and scope

Source links appear with each answer. They include player discussions, community guides and item references. Conditions that change an action, such as a pipeline prerequisite or a recipe’s work requirement, appear beside that action.

The water page covers water sources and their prerequisites. The chemistry page assumes you already have a mixture and the relevant tools. Recipe quantities, temperatures and solvents depend on the recipe you are following.

Privacy and advertising

This site uses Cloudflare Pages for hosting. Cloudflare may process technical request information, such as your IP address and browser details, to deliver and protect the site. Read Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its data practices.

Cloudflare also measures page visits and loading performance through Web Analytics, independently of your advertising choice. Read Cloudflare’s Web Analytics information.

The home, water and chemistry pages offer one 300 × 250 Adsterra banner after the guide content and sources. About and missing-page screens have no advertising. Advertising is off until you explicitly accept it. Rejecting advertising does not limit access to any guide.

If you accept, your browser contacts Adsterra and its advertising partners. They may process technical data such as your IP address, browser and device details, referrer and ad interactions, and may use cookies or similar identifiers for ad delivery, selection, measurement and fraud prevention. Read Adsterra’s privacy policy for its practices and partners.

This site saves only your advertising choice for this feature in browser local storage under probably-stolen-ad-consent-v1, with the value granted or denied. You can change it with Ad preferences on any page. Accepting or withdrawing refreshes the page to apply your choice. If storage is unavailable, advertising stays off and a visible message explains the problem.

If your browser cannot save a withdrawal, the ads=off URL parameter keeps advertising off on the current page and follows links to other pages of this site. Keep that parameter while browsing. If you remove it or open a URL without it, an earlier saved acceptance may apply; use Ad preferences to reject advertising again. This fallback cannot save a choice across independently opened URLs.

Withdrawing prevents new ad loading after the refresh. It cannot recall information already sent to third parties or remove cookies they previously set; use your browser’s site-data controls for those cookies. Advertising may be blocked or unavailable even after acceptance.
