This directory is the navigation center for Supermarket Chaos Wiki. The site is built as a flat guide system: every main topic is one click from this page, while section-specific advice is collected on the Sections Hub instead of being split into many short third-level pages. Use the groups below to decide what to read next based on your current problem in the store.
Start here
If you are new, read Beginner Guide first, then Section Map, then Sections Hub. That order mirrors the real player problem: first you need a safe cleanup loop, then a mental map of the store, then category-level details for product families. Reading upgrade or achievement advice before this base route usually creates noise because you may not yet know whether your bottleneck is walking, carrying, label reading, or final cleanup.
Beginner Guide
Start with scouting, temporary piles, shelf labels, and a first cleanup loop that does not scatter products.
Section Map
Understand the 16-section problem before guessing individual shelf locations.
Sections Hub
Use one flat section hub for Produce, Tea, Frozen Foods, Books, Wine, Ramen, Cleaning Goods, and Bakery and Sweets.
Progress and completion pages
Use these pages after you can already place products with some confidence. Upgrades explains when movement, carrying, and search tools actually save time. Achievements turns the 12 Steam achievement list into a route checklist. Patch Notes separates version changes from stable advice, which matters because launch-week updates changed readability, controls, backup loading, and product preview support.
Upgrades
Choose movement, carrying, or search upgrades based on the current bottleneck.
Achievements
Track the 12 Steam achievements without turning the final shelves into a scavenger hunt.
Patch Notes
Follow launch-week fixes, readability changes, backup loading, product preview, and multiplayer direction.
Reference pages
Use the reference pages when you need facts rather than routing. Release and Platforms covers Steam launch data, controller support, language support, Steam Cloud, and PC requirements. FAQ answers common decisions quickly. Glossary defines the route language used across the wiki, such as temporary pile, exact label match, section-first route, bottleneck, and final cleanup.

FAQ
Why is the wiki flat now?
A flat structure makes the useful pages easier to find and avoids short third-level pages that repeat the same advice. Section details are now consolidated into the Sections Hub, where players can compare categories in one place.
Where did the individual section pages go?
They were merged into the Sections Hub. That page now holds the cues, route advice, and mistake checks for Produce, Tea, Frozen Foods, Books, Wine, Ramen, Cleaning Goods, and Bakery and Sweets.
