How about a crosshair for aiming that isn't white.. That would be good
What about fixing game stutter and lag ................. That would be great
How about more varied missions in SMPL ............. Add some variety..cool
How about improving wiring & plumbing ............. That would be excellent

It is a shame.. Iike this game and it has so much potential but Devs seem to have lost their way.

Apparently they have separate team working on performance stuff all the time...

So, the Devs had similar comments when they did the rustic furniture update. Iirc, there was some feedback from them then, that I believe applies here, and since I don't remember where I saw it, I'm going to summarize:

The Dev team is made up of people with different development skill sets. All of them are working on (planned) game updates at the same time.... but you can't take someone who is primarily graphics, and move them over to say... bug fixes. They just don't have the right skills to do that. So they continue to work on the updates in their "bucket".

This doesn't mean there's no work going on in the other areas; it just means that for THIS update... none of them were ready. And that's also why they started publishing a list of "here are things we've been working on, but it's not in the game yet"... so people can see, hey they are working on the first of the planned DLCs. We knew mounts were coming before they were released because of notes that were in there.

So while THIS update may be underwhelming, it doesn't mean work has stopped. It means they just don't have something ready in other areas.

And, one last thought that is mine, not part of the summary:

And, let's be candid: they are still working on the game, and publishing weekly updates. Most people would be glad to see this level of developer activity on a released game.

(I do also wish they would find a final fix for the performance issues. They've made several passes, and while there will be a brief improvement, they fall apart again...)
