Weekly updates with a dev team of two is just completely unrealistic. If there were a team of 30 programmers, designers, and artists, you might expect it during a beta that is only a few months from release.

I do believe they both have credits on another Paradox game. I forget which one off the top of my head, though. Level design or something like that?

Bots are only useful for liming, building coal clamps, mining out a mine, and making board piles. Everything else must be done by hand so the advantage is limited. I would say the Tribal Bots only run 4 hours every day before we have to come in and manually do something with the materials.

I have mixed feelings. One of the ways I made the grind more interesting was to attempt to collect and vault one of every item. I made spreadsheets to track the items I still needed. I had alts so that I could store them and go back and look at what I had collected. There was nothing game breaking about it. It was my way of creating a mini-game for my own amusement, and did so on the basis that we were told no wipe and therefore my collection would be retained. I regret the time wasted and the destruction of my collection that is coming.

However, I have mostly stopped playing the game and I desperately want this to be a fun and successful game. I keep coming back and it just has not been fun. Each time I come back I find some interesting moments but overall I find I am doing the same things over and over again just to pay upkeep or to build up something only to be destroyed by a raider. So if a wipe can breathe some new life into the game, so be it, and I will come back and try again.

Have they hinted on IRC or such if this will be happening next week?

It will occur.

The common ***** of it not happening is simply that.

*****.

No one at all has said it won't happen. Given their track record though, it's very unlikely the devs will do this next week like they said they would.
