This is what happens in Early Access games. If you’re easily frustrated by such things, you may wish to switch to a new game and focus more on Boundless at launch. The dev team has stated MANY, MANY times now that releasing things in packages is a more efficient/less costly way of doing things. Please don’t make them repeat themselves AGAIN. This is their livelihood, their careers. Just trust that they’re doing all they can to make a product that everyone can enjoy and that they’re doing so to the best of their abilities.
The fact that we get verbal updates every week is a vast improvement over some Early Access projects, asking for new things to test AS SOON as we hear about them isn’t going to be possible and will likely even cause trepidation before new details are discussed in dev posts.
I see that you’ve participated on this thread, @Smoothy, but let me just post a quote from the very first post of it by James:
He says everything I said above, gives a rough timeline of the next update, and promises to keep us updated. I don’t know how you could possibly want anything more than that.
