Excited to see what's in store for S.A.M. and the other collectibles, as well as Tier 8

Some additions mentioned in this:

New vehicle(s) and buildings in Tier 8

3rd person toggle is a goal but causes issues

Fix for visibility at night in works

Lights wanted but must make them in a way that doesn't tank performance.

S.A.M. ore will likely be late game resource tied to story and solving logistic issues in late stage factories.

Story !

Expansion on exploration

Potentially multiple body slots

Official Mod Support

Dedicated servers in the works

Potential farming capabilities

Some talks about changes to benefit replayability

Full version release date possibly between 2021-2022 (very rough estimate)

Additional notes:

In general, there are problems that have potential solutions (flying vehicles) but the devs want to implement a better solution to the root gameplay problems that may not be what the community suggested.

Also, as with many things, there are tons of small features they would love to add, but there is simply a priority order.

Also, thanks for the update and huge Q&A! It's always nice to know what the studio is planning and how things are progressing.

thank you so much for this summary :)

Stop making suggestions people. They only troll us harder. The whole want to holster our weapon thing, yeah we all wanted that, but what did they do? Give us a coffee cup. Is it awesome, yes, it's awesome but we essentially lost a hand slot instead of getting a holster ability. The devs do this all the time, you want something, they give it to you but in a monkey's paw way, damn trolls.

We didnt make the coffee cup to address the holster issue, we made the cup because it's cool. The holster issue isn't the only issue that has been requested a million times that we have not gotten around to yet because available resources and prioritisation is a thing. Your Important Issue™ is not the only Important Issue™ out there and we can't do them all at the same time.
