Cat Mail Co. guides hub
All Cat Mail Co. wiki guides for Steam — beginner tips, package handling, night mechanics, boat routes, organization, co-op workflow, and achievements.
Cat Mail Co. is a cozy postal sim: no timers, no combat, no codes. You restore a Cat Island post office by weighing mail, stamping postage, labeling destinations, and loading the captain's boat before moonlight reveals hidden parcel truths.
New save path: Beginner guide → Package handling → Boat routes → Night mechanics.
Return here after every play session — the hub table links all ROUTES-backed guides in one screen.

Suggested learning paths
Solo first week: Start with beginner guide and controls (WASD, mouse, sprint, F stamp mode). Add package handling when returns appear. Open night mechanics before your first full dusk.
Co-op crew: Read co-op guide and organization tips before inviting players — four cats need four shelf zones. Assign loader vs clerk vs sorter roles at the dock and customer bell.
Route optimizers: Destinations for Cat Island and Port Windy unlock order, plus boat routes for captain manifest and dock bell timing.
Completionists: Achievements lists 17 Steam achievements; pair with packages for fragile, heavy, magic, and returned types.

Use internal wiki links in every guide — cross-navigation is intentional so Cat Mail Co. players never dead-end on a single page.
What this wiki deliberately skips
Cat Mail Co. has no codes, coupons, or redemption strings. Search engines still suggest "cat mail co codes" from unrelated games — we do not publish a codes page.
Progress comes from clearing backlog, unlocking Port Windy and later destinations, and restoring rooms. No external promo unlocks mail routes.
If a site lists "free stamps" strings, treat it as spam unrelated to Maracas Studio's Steam release.
How guides stay accurate
Wiki mechanic pages cite verified July 2026 play: scale bands, F stamp mode, scanner conveyor, captain manifest, customer bell clues, moonlight reveals, and four-player co-op.
Updates carries patch-level changes; mechanic pages update when behavior shifts.
Community links live on community/discord — official Discord URL pending store verification.
We deliberately omit codes, tier lists for nonexistent combat, and platform pages for consoles Cat Mail Co. does not ship on.
Quick reference by question

Wiki maintenance cadence
Cat Mail Co. launch month updates run weekly — achievement names, new destinations, and control changes land first on updates.
Mechanic pages update after two independent player confirmations or a developer patch note quote.
Return to this guides hub when new pages ship — Port Windy was day-one; later islands will get hub rows as they verify.
All guides assume Steam PC with keyboard and mouse — controller pages update when Maracas Studio ships official support.
