Yeah the wiki just recently went down, but I'm not sure why. And even when it was up, it wasn't well maintained. Absolutely needs a better version, there's a lot about this game that's not well explained.

The wiki has been replaced by https://wiki.play.eco since 14 months. It just took that long to actually get them to take down the ad-ridden old one that had zero activity anymore due to people moving to ours after removing the agreed on redirecting link two times without notifying us. I'll rather leave it at that. To say the best: I did not make any good experiences with Gamepedia.

Wiki.play.eco is the new link. Still outdated though

Well, it's a community wiki. Everyone that complains about it, can help out changing it ;)

I'm not really sure if you are serious about that question. We have a lot of experienced users that know every single mechanic just by testing and exploring it, those typically also added stuff they know. It's actually a bit how Eco is supposed to work, as we on purpose do not want to explain every mechanic in-depth. It's absolutely true there is basic information still missing (which I deem normal in EA though), but we're not necessarily going to ever provide more than basic information, that takes away the exploration. And if you really need to know an answer, you can just ask or copy it from someone that found it out and put it on the Wiki. I can understand when that is a bit too oldschool for some people, but Eco is an educational game after all.

Agreed, there are soooo many question in this subreddit that are solved by just reading tooltips more carefully. That being said there are quite a few mechanics that are poorly explained but the majority are inconsequential. For example, knowing exactly how food works isn't critical, just eat the stuff with the biggest numbers and a rough balance.

Or explore on your own to find out how it works on a 'spreadsheet level', many people have fun doing that and many people have fun reading and upvoting that ;)
