What's the state of animal husbandry in the game? The roadmap said it would be done first quarter of 2018, but we're well past that.

External link →The trello roadmap, because the tree on play.eco is worse than meaningless.
The trello roadmap has never been official and was used for only a very short time. It's totally meaningless.
I am new to following this game but it seems like the development is moving pretty slowly. I saw that paper milling was near useless over 2 years ago and is still nearly useless. I wish they would worry less about adding new features like renting property coming up in the new patch and more about polishing what is already in the game.
Well, we'd wish people would like that more as well. Unfortunately that's not the case. Sales are driven by new stuff.
Really? I would think some quality of life and polish would get a lot more people into the game. The amount of content in game already is a bit overwhelming at times. I think you guys just need a good advertisement push more than anything. A few sponsored steams on Twitch or something. Many of my friends had never even heard of the game.
We do not do any intense marketing currently next to budget reasons, as we do not want a big influx of players in the current phase of Early Access. We're more than happy with whats going on currently but it doesn't need to be any more. QoL and polish doesn't create sales - it keeps players. Which we do. But features still need to be at least a third of development time.

For paper milling specifically:
There is simply no use for paper in the game yet, and as long as that is the case it stays as is. E.g. there simply is nothing planned for it yet, it's a WIP placeholder. Nor uncommon nor any sign of slow development.
That's fine but then why not just remove it from the game temporarily that way people playing the game don't accidently choose a dead profession without knowing that there is really nothing to do with it. It is a huge bummer.
Because you do need paper for some recipes and removing stuff that will be fixed eventually just takes useless development time and has the chance to introduce bugs you can avoid by simply keeping it as is.
