+## :exclamation: How to compile :exclamation:
+
+On **2021-01-04** we have changed the way to compile the codebase.
+
+Find `BUILD.bat` here in the root folder of tgstation, and double click it to initiate the build. It consists of multiple steps and might take around 1-5 minutes to compile.
+
+After it finishes, you can then [setup the server](.github/RUNNING_A_SERVER.md) normally by opening `tgstation.dmb` in DreamDaemon.
+
+**Building tgstation in DreamMaker directly is now deprecated and might produce errors**, such as `'tgui.bundle.js': cannot find file`.

 This build script is the recommended way to compile the game, including not only the DM code but also the JavaScript and any other dependencies.
 
-- VSCode: use `Ctrl+Shift+B` to build or `F5` to build and run.
-
-- Windows: double-click `Build.bat` in the repository root to build.
-
-- Linux: run `tools/build/build` from the repository root.
+- VSCode:
+  a) Press `Ctrl+Shift+B` to build.
+  b) Press `F5` to build and run with debugger attached.
+- Windows:
+  a) Double-click `BUILD.bat` in the repository root to build (will wait for a key press before it closes).
+  b) Double-click `tools/build/build.bat` to build (will exit as soon as it finishes building).
+- Linux:
+  a) Run `tools/build/build` from the repository root.
 
 The script will skip build steps whose inputs have not changed since the last run.
 
 ## Dependencies
 
-- On Windows, `Build.bat` will automatically install a private copy of Node.
