How We Track This Tower Defense Simulator Update Log

This Tower Defense Simulator update log is compiled directly from the official TDS wiki's version history, which mirrors Paradoxum Games' in-game patch notes and Roblox release notes. We list every major numbered version since v1.13.0 individually; earlier updates are grouped into yearly recap entries because the wiki itself records them that way. When a new Tower Defense Simulator update ships, we add it here with the same highlight list published on the wiki, plus a direct source link so you can cross-check the original patch notes yourself.
