StationpediaPage

Vanilla game class at StationpediaPage (line 233507 in game decompile). Data model for one Stationpedia entry: the record holding Key, Title, Text, parsed Description, category fields, and the insert-list collections consumed by UniversalPage.

Constructors and field inventory

Source: F0201.

Constructors (game.cs:233666-233681):

public StationpediaPage() { }
public StationpediaPage(string key, string title, string text)
    { Key = key; Title = title; Text = text; }
public StationpediaPage(string key, string title)
    { Key = key; Title = title; }

The (key, title, text) overload sets Text, NOT Description.

Key fields relevant to our implementation:

• string Key, unique ID, goes into _linkIdLookup
• string Title, display name, used in nav and search results
• string Text, raw markup source, consumed by ParsePage
• string Description, parsed body; this is what ChangeDisplay renders
• int SortPriority, ascending sort key
• bool ImportantPage, visual flag (not used by us)
• SPDAEntryType DisplayFilter, default Undefined; Guides/Lore add to category shortcuts
• Sprite CustomSpriteToUse, optional page thumbnail
• List<StationLogicInsert> LogicInsert, public mutable, eagerly initialized
• List<StationLogicInsert> LogicSlotInsert, ModeInsert, ConnectionInsert, same
• List<StationCategory> CreatedCategories on UniversalPage (not page), game-owned cleanup list

ParsePage body and Description guard

Source: F0207.

StationpediaPage.ParsePage() at game.cs:233683-233707:

public void ParsePage()
{
    _parsed = Localization.ParseHelpText(Text);
    _parsed = _parsed.Replace('[', '<');
    _parsed = _parsed.Replace(']', '>');
    _parsed = _parsed.Replace("\t", string.Empty);
    _parsed = _parsed.TrimStart();
    foreach (string listOfAllListOfObject in Stationpedia.DataHandler.ListOfAllListOfObjects)
    {
        string text = "{LIST_OF_" + listOfAllListOfObject.ToUpper() + "}";
        if (Text.Contains(text))
            PageCustomCategories.Add(listOfAllListOfObject);
        if (Text.Contains(_worldHashes))
            _parsed = _parsed.Replace(_worldHashes, Localization.ParseHelpText(NewWorldMenu.WorldHashes));
        _parsed = _parsed.Replace(text, string.Empty);
    }
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Description))
        Description = _parsed;
}

Critical guard at last line: Description is populated from _parsed only if it was empty. Mutating Text after ParsePage has run does not update Description unless Description is cleared or assigned directly.

_parsed is only set by ParsePage. The Parsed property (line 233664) is a plain backing-field getter, no lazy parse.

IsRegexMatch 255-char cutoff

Source: F0219h.

StationpediaPage.IsRegexMatch (game.cs:233728) truncates at 255 chars when performing the regex match. Pages with Description longer than 255 chars will still match on Title and Key, but regex-body search is skipped. Irrelevant for our Ref pages (filtered out of search regardless) and acceptable for LogicType pages.

ParsePage token expansion

Source: F0219k (ParsePage-tokens portion).

StationpediaPage.ParsePage additionally handles {LIST_OF_<CATEGORY>} tokens and _worldHashes placeholder (magic token replaced with parsed NewWorldMenu.WorldHashes).
