I have checked an embarrassing amount of times the last 10 days hoping for a hint of updates.

I expect some info on Klei Fest

Last year, Klei Fest started 15.06, so I'm still patient. I will start being nervous in 2nd half of June, and I reserve my panic for July

Was the "rhymeswithplay" branch active, was a developer stream planned? Also, "early_loc" encouraged me, I was hoping for early access, but it hasn't been changed for a month.

Early loc... Early location!? 

Will oxygen be included on a pre-destroyed earth?

 

Stay tuned for the next exciting edition of 'guess the update'!

Good to know. I was wondering when we would possibly get an update. I take is the date of Klei Fest 2024 is unknown at this time?

My understanding is it is never known until it starts, but maybe someone has more info on that topic

What did you think? I found a new opportunity to include fire. Elements such as wooden floors and heaters/fireplaces.

The opportunity has always been there.  The developers have either decided fire doesn't align with their vision for the game or that it would tank performance.

Or, hear me out, they fear what OSHA war crimes we would commit with the power.

...or they simply focused on other things, leaving fire for later

I can't wait to ranch these new critters in the DLC!

I wonder if the screenshots are still concept art or already close to final. The artstyle looks a bit different from the basegame. For example: the deer-squirrel is quite small compared to the shine bug

The art for some of the things look a bit rough. Like blue foxes and the blue plants look unpolished.

Maybe I have bad tastes, but it looks fine to me.

Sooo now that the DLC is out can we talk a bit about the blueprints system? The roadmap mentions that they will be able to be earned through “gameplay”.

Does that mean NEW ways to earn them or does this refer to the status quo? I sure hope changes are coming here, the current pace of unlocking blueprints is waaay too slow.

Am i only one dissapointed that Klei flatout LIED about no more dlcs just content updates?

Entirely depends on how it's handled. If the dlc ads new content worth playing and experiencing and does not create a bloated mess. And not making content that clearly needed to be part of updating old content that was lacking certain game depth elements. 

I find the first dlc was well worth it, even if there are still things from the original version I'm hoping will be fixed or added onto. Like a good map editor for content creators. And some poi's breaking or partially melting. More decorations that fit the game, not reskins.

The second dlc was decent. Mostly new content but also some features needed in spaced out and the original. 

I don't care as much for bionics as it mostly feels like to me the mechanics could have been implemented using the original game buildings and concepts. There is plenty of empty space on the research tree all over and under utilized concepts like the neural vicilitator or germs.

We are nearly half year in, any update?
