Prerelease

YouTuber builds

Before the game was released, a very small number of YouTube content creators were given access to prerelease builds of the game. This table contains most Teardown-related videos by those creators (as well as some landmarks).

"Exclusive content" is defined as content that is not available in any public build. "Video" means footage of a prerelease build was shown (excluding when they're just talking over a video Dennis posted on Twitter), and "Info" means no footage but they talked about or shared information about a prerelease build.

TODO:

Add the rest of Bluedrake42's videos, particularly the ones in this playlist.
Add Drae's videos, particularly the ones in this playlist.
Why not add official stuff like all the stuff Dennis has posted?

Raytracing with no Graphics Card + Teardown AMD GPUs Tested: AMD's cards didn't even work in the early version of Teardown that I tested; he only got them working again weeks before the official release.
Teardown is out!: I got to play this game before release and I've noticed a few improvements in this current version. There are more sound effects for items like straw and metal. The music in general is more upbeat and happy. I got a lot of comments from people asking why the music sounded so depressing before, so I guess this is something that was changed intentionally. The flashlight looks nicer now, but one thing I don't like is how much your head tilts as you're changing the direction in which you're running.
Youtuber's Responsibility: I am not going to include a transcript as the entire video is about Dennis giving Philip a preview build and it's rather long.
They mentioned (without dropping names) the drama around Bluedrake42 modding their preview copy, and how they (Philip) were told not to as part of their agreement to receive their copy.
Right at the beginning of the video, they pick up, throw, and use a tool crate with the gun in it near spawn on Marina sandbox. The hand icon when grabbing was different. The gun appears with 32 ammo on the hotbar to the right of the sledgehammer and to the left of the spraycan and fire extinguisher.
At 1:15, there's a cut. After the cut, they now also have the pipebombs (12 ammo) and planks (24) to the right of the gun (32), and the blowtorch (60) at the very end after the spraycan and fire extinguisher.
At 3:12, they enter the red fishing shack and pick up three tool crates. In order of closest to the door to farthest (and in the same order they collected them in), they got 32 gun ammo, 12 pipebombs, and the shotgun with 24 ammo.
At 3:53, there's a cut to a sunny version of Marina. The green truck near spawn is absent. A white "Outdoor 4x4" (suv2) is in front of 4th dock cabin, facing toward the community building. A yellow unbranded van is parked next to the community building, facing the same direction. They have rockets (3) and bombs (0) to the right of the shotgun.
At 4:07, there's a cut to (presumably) the same version of Marina, but with the alarm going off, indicating this is a challenge level.
TODO: More cuts, more places, document order of tools, document "BUTTONS" instead of "LMB RMB", helicopter pilot voice, estimate when footage was taken based on description

Discord

I did a considerable amount of digging through old Discord messages and found some information regarding Bluedrake42's build.
