Hay In A Needle Stack Simulator

Compare Steam page

Finding a needle in a haystack is hard. So we made the opposite. Dig through a mountain of needles to find one piece of hay. Upgrade your gloves, tools, magnets and increasingly ridiculous machinery in this absurd first-person simulator.

Counted once we have watched for 90 days (since 5 Nov 2026)

How this is measured

Distinct builds deployed to a game's public (default) Steam branch, as Steam's client network describes them.

Checked within minutes of each Steam change. Observed since 5 Nov 2026.

We see a game's builds only from the day we started watching it. Before that we know just the build it was on, so counts over a window are shown only for games watched for the whole window.
A build is not necessarily a content update: developers also ship fixes, and some builds change only files players never see.

Posts announcing an update, tagged or not

Last 365 days · as of 5 Nov, 01:16 UTC

How this is measured

Posts in a game's official Steam news feed that announce an update: tagged as patch notes by the developer, or plainly about a patch or a released update.

An announcement is not a build. Developers can ship updates without a post, or post about several updates at once.
Untagged posts are recognised from their words, so a few updates are missed and a few other posts may be counted. Tagged posts are marked Patch notes on the Updates tab; recognised ones are marked Update.
Older posts are being read back through each game's history, most played games first, so months before October 2026 fill in over the coming days.

Public Builds

No public build seen yet.

From Steam’s client network, last checked 5 Nov, 04:17 UTC. Builds before 5 Nov 2026, when we started watching, aren't listed. Patch notes are the developer’s update post from an hour before to a day after the build. Not every build gets one. How we count

Earlier Updates

No update posts from before 5 Nov 2026 found yet.

Steam keeps no record of past build numbers, so before 5 Nov 2026 a game’s update history comes from its own Steam news: posts tagged as patch notes, and untagged posts that plainly announce a patch or a released update. Older posts are still being read in, most played games first. How we count
