 A hopper holds one food at a time. Switching food empties it first: what is left goes back into its jar as grams, never lost, and leftover flake is let go. A meal from the feeder does exactly what it does by hand, loved and disliked foods and stale worms included. It still earns no XP and no coins.
 
+In the feeder's panel every food shows its Pantry jar and where its meals would come from: free for flake, the meals left in its jar, a price a meal when the jar is empty, or None for worms with an empty jar. A heart counts the fish in this aquarium that love it. Pick a food to see what it does (how much longer it keeps a fish fed, health, quality pace, growth, freshness for worms, and how many of your fish love or dislike it) and its stock; Get more opens the Pantry at that jar, or at the worm bin. The button says what a press does: Load, Top up the same food, or Switch to another, and before a switch it says the old meals go back to the Pantry, what the feeder will hold and how long it will last.

 ## Feeding early
 
 Each feeder has a Feed at setting, on its card and under Manage. When hungry, the default, feeds each fish the moment it gets hungry. 25%, 50% or 75% feeds a fish once the Food reading on its [fish card](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/fish-card) has dropped that low; a fuller fish is never fed. The setting stays when you refill or upgrade the feeder, and changing it is free.

 Saving a guest aquarium offers Google, X and Apple, depending on where you play. Once it is saved, you can add Discord, a phone number and more from the Account app, and any of them signs you back in. There's no separate Fishies password to create or remember.
 
+On the desktop app, a guest saves with Save in your browser: your browser opens, you sign in there with Google, Apple or X, and the app's aquarium is saved to that sign-in while the app stays open. Open the page on the same network as the computer. If that sign-in already has an aquarium, the app opens that one instead and the guest aquarium stays behind.

 ## One account, every device
 
 Sign in the same way on another phone or computer and the same aquarium is waiting for you, still running on the server's clock. Your username becomes your aquarium's address, and you have 15 minutes after choosing it to fix a typo before it locks.
 
 Signing out of a guest aquarium leaves it behind for good, so the game asks before it lets you go. Save it to a sign-in first if you want to keep it.
 
+The sign-in window shows every way in as a square tile: Google, Apple, X, Discord, Steam and phone, on every platform. On the phone apps Discord and Steam open in your browser and bring you straight back; on the desktop app, tiles with the small arrow mark finish in your browser. Steam signs in to an aquarium you've already linked it to.
+
+On the Steam version, a new or reinstalled game signs in with Steam first and opens the aquarium your Steam account is linked to. If it isn't linked yet, you choose between a new aquarium and the one you already have.
+
+On the desktop app, Sign in opens a page in your browser that asks you to approve the computer, naming what kind of computer it is and roughly where. Approve it only if it is yours. From the computer's own network one click is enough; from anywhere else you confirm it is you first. A guest can approve only from the computer's own network.
+
+Once you're signed in (or playing as a guest) on the desktop app, it opens straight into your aquarium as soon as its update check is done, without waiting for Play. The engine's splash mark plays only on the very first launch; after that only the Fishies mark shows, and a left click skips it.

+_What to try for each sign-in method when a phone is lost or a sign-in stops working, and how to ask the team for help._
+
+## Sign in the same way
+
+Your aquarium lives on Fishies' servers, not on your phone. On the new device, install Fishies or open fishies.lol and sign in with a method you linked before: the same aquarium opens, still on the server's clock. In the account centre, the card Playing on another device under Sign-in methods names the ways in that your account has.
+
+## What to try for each sign-in
+
+If one way in doesn't work, try another you have linked. Method by method:
+
+- Google: sign in with the same Google account on any phone, computer or browser. If you can't get into the Google account itself, recover it with Google first.
+- Apple: use the same Apple Account. On Android, Windows or in a browser, choose Apple and sign in on Apple's page.
+- X: sign in with the same X account; if you can't, recover the account with X first.
+- Discord: works on every platform. In the phone apps, Discord opens in your browser and brings you straight back to the game.
+- Steam: signs in to the aquarium you linked it to, directly in the Steam version and through your browser in the phone apps and on the website.
+- Phone number: the sign-in code is sent by text to that number. A new phone with the same number works; if the number itself is gone, use another linked method or ask for help below.
+- Guest: a guest aquarium that was never saved lives only on the device that made it, so it cannot be moved or recovered. Save your aquarium to a sign-in to keep it safe.
+
+## If a phone was lost or stolen
+
+Sign in on another device, open the account centre and choose Devices: it lists where your aquarium is signed in, with the system, roughly where and when it was last active. Sign out everywhere ends every one of those sessions, the one you are using too, so whoever has the lost phone is signed out. Then sign in again on the devices you use.
+
+Once you are back in, link a second way in. Apple and Google work on every phone and computer, so the account centre suggests one if your account has only a phone number, Discord, Steam, X or a game service.
+
+## Still can't get in?
+
+Write to the team with the account help form on the Contact page (fishies.lol/contact): the username you remember, the sign-in methods you may have used, roughly when you last played and an email for the answer. A person reads every request and answers by email.
+
+Fishies never asks for a password, a sign-in code or a token: not in the form, not by email, not anywhere else. Anyone who asks for one is not from Fishies.
