Knowledge points now bugged since patch? Can we expect a Hotfix?

[Zewtastic]

Since the patch I have now acquired 3 Knowledge points.
All three in Gathering (supposedly) even though I have been doing a lot of combat in the zones.

The problem is Gathering is maxed and has been maxed since before the patch. So it's beginning to feel as if points in other areas are going to Gathering, and not into Workshop, Combat and Social.

Zero points gained in the other three Knowledge areas. Three in Gathering which was already maxed. - It's a problem.

Sent a bug notice/email with log, etc. to the devs and they say it's a known bug, so Ii would expected a hot fix soon for what appears to be a math logic issue.

Are hot fixes a thing for Sandrock?

I worked in the game industry for over a decade and we would have hot fixed a problem like that immediately.

They've done hotfixes in prior updates throughout Early Access, but putting the last coat of polish on the skill progression system might be punted down the priority list a bit because it's not game-breaking.

I've had those 3 points since long before the patch. And yes, your point levels still go up to max even if you've unlocked all the available nodes.

The problem is that max level for points is 37, and there aren't enough gathering knowledge nodes to unlock to use them all. I'm assuming the gathering tree was originally going to be bigger, but they pruned some nodes. So whether they add nodes or reduce the number of levels remains to be seen.

It actually is game-breaking(ish) if it is blocking Knowledge points to Workshop, Combat and Social.

I already did this and got a chinese response saying "we already know about this known bug."
So I say, where is the hotfix? And how long has it been "known"?

Now up to {4} un-spendable Knowledge Points. Wonderful.

It's frustrating but it's not really a bug. We've just earned too many skill points in Gathering, so there aren't enough Gathering skills to use them all. I'm up to 3 extra points now and I expect the number to keep growing, since I still spend a lot of time gathering. I just wish I was doing as well in the other areas, but I'm sure that will come.

I ask me, why they don't use the same layout from the MP-skilltree. There is the skilltree not divided in 4 tabs, it's one.
