Vic, what is the most helpful way of feeding back typos etc?

Adding my voice - that was the first thing that jumped out at me as well. Grammar, typos, whatever, the text could use some decent editing.

Such as explaining what values are in screenshots and what they mean, and the screenshots show completely different values. This makes reading the manual pretty frustrating when trying to learn.

I’d be willing to volunteer as well. Perhaps you could use something like ”Crowdin”. The developers of Deep Rock Galactic have had great success using it and Thanks to their fans There are virtually No errors and the game had been translate into multiple languages as well.

That just sounds ominous.

Status: offline 		Let me add here that I am willing to offer myself to do a front-to-back proofreading and copyediting of the manual. It looks to me like it would be a good idea for a native English speaker to take a crack at this, although in large measure I think the manual is pretty clear.

In any case, I have done this before for several Paradox games -- that is, back in the distant past, when they actually HAD manuals -- and I would be happy to do so here. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.

I would, also, but I do not want to take away my time from playing. :)
