Build 42 release date?

[TacticalMime]

I'm well aware that there is an incredible amount of content in the works that will literally change the whole game as we know it, and having made just small scale mods for other games (Fallout New Vegas mostly) I know how long content creation can take. But i keep running into so many different answers.
Some saying it will be around the end of August/start of September and some people say it will not be out until late (July-October) 2024.
I don't think my hype can peak any further and I'm looking forward to this big update honestly.

There's no clear answer because there's no ETA.
Giving a set date leads to nothing but disappointment on both sides, so the devs won't give one.
This question crops up every week, so the search function should give you the same answer.

If i had to guess, 2 years from today we will be past the half way point.

[bliznots]

Come back and keep asking the same question every few days. That way, you'll get an answer.

They used to give ETAs on builds and learned the hard way why you shouldn't from missing those dates.

Literally a bit earlier there was a similar question worded differently and a dev/mod gave an answer. Could have looked it up.

You know what, I bought the game when i read that build 41 was supposed to be the biggest build and that's why it took so long. Future builds weren't supposed to take as long. Especially with how much money the game has made so far.

But here we are. It has become normal for a single build to take years. I don't get why development has slowed down so much considering the game's success. Can't they just split their builds into smaller ones like the old times? Release the performance update first, then the crafting system, then the animals etc. I mean, like most early access games do.

Wish they'd do it like this TBH, instead of just a huge content drop. With the game blowing up like it did. I wouldn't want to lose the momentum it gained with a huge content draught. We got a lot of modders pausing projects and leaving broken mods up on the workshop as they wait for B41 also. I walked away from game for 8 months in hopes that it would be announced by now, at least a general idea, but nothing.

I also think a lot of the "dev worship" causes a lot of issues too. It's too much black and white thinking. You voice your concern like this? Expect a few people to be complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to you. I think people form parasocial relationship with smaller companies, but in the end we are the consumer, and they are the company, it's the same relationship you'd have with any other purchase you make. Now people insulting them is irrational, but I think it's completely valid to voice your concern and not have 10 fan boys screaming at you to "LET THEM COOK!" it serves no purpose other than to silence criticism. It's far too common in games now. Two ends of the coins the angry gamer sending hate and then the shining white knights defending anything that isn't nothing but praise.

Also anyone giving a date is just shooting the dark. No one knows, it's all just guessing. A broken clock can be right, but it doesn't mean they actually knew. Can't tell you how many people go "Next month!" on reddit only for nothing to happen.

It seems very disrespectful to me to take people's money and not provide them with any information as to when they can expect you to provide the product they've paid for.
