The lack of new content just,i don't know.i Don't get the point in playing a game that will be updated early next year.

The lack of updates.it's not what we expected.and i have a few words,lack updates = less downloads each day.

and the lack of a modding community as well,can't you just make it avalible to us to make Mods at least?that will keep the flow going.just add 1 more update.the "Modding update". 

hunter this game has millions of possibillities of automation you can wait for next year its only like 28 days away

it's not even that long to wait for 2018  if you think about it, plus the update will be massive, so be patient, and you'll be fine

I've heard it said that as a developer you need to put in somewhere close to a hundred hours or more for about an hour of content for players.... assuming you are not making the base game engine and really only adding just content.  I admit that the modding community can help a bit in that regard if you are talking about doing stuff like making new items in a game or new "crafting" recipes.


I don't know how hard it would be to extend that out for comparatively easy user mods (meaning it is easy to create those mods), but opening up an API is not as easy as you are suggesting either.  I agree it would be a pleasant thing to see being done... but demanding it happens isn't a good thing either.  Note that Minecraft was released in 2009 and only just barely got something even resembling a formal official API just this past week (and incomplete at that).

Give Gary and Aaron a break here, as they are really doing a good job under the circumstances.  In the meantime, if you really want to see them get more content sooner..... make a donation to their development effort and put in a few bucks/quid into their tip jar.  They do deserve it.
