OMG. I thought it's in 42. So another 2 years at least.

[Shrimpins]

Animal npcs are coming in build 42, not human npcs

[Avolux]

just use the mod its basically vanilla

[Quill]

There's mods that use Code from build 30 to have NPCs Currently

Next Update is confirmed to be this year and will bring animal NPCs. After that they plan to use the new NPC code they've proved works to bring human NPCs in the updates after

Not really any reason not to? We don't give ETAs usually and we're aware we're slow, but cars, multiplayer, build 41, whatever else were all released despite the same shtick of "they'll never be out".

imagine having no hope in anyone at all these days; go make your own game if this one updating slowly haunts you so badly. Pathetic.

As a rule of thumb, NPCs are always coming with the update after the next update. It's been like this for over 5 years and we do not break with this tradition.

My only issue is that 42 has taken a very long time to come out and now it seems to be suffering from feature creep if your even halfway paying attention to the blogs. like I thought 42 was supposed to be a crafting focused update to lay the groundwork for 43s AI systems but something has changed in two years and now grass textures has become a talking point.

Yes and no

The grass changes is just another application of the engine improvements that were slated for B42 as well (the same as the new doors).
The new grass was something quick to do and easy to show the community, so I see nothing wrong with throwing that in.
Without stuff like that it would be difficult to show what the engine improvements are about.

And I don't believe crafting was the only focus for B42.
Where did you get that?

It's always the same responses with stuff like this. We have one small part talking about a cool addition to grass, or doors and how it opens new opportunities for QoL features in the future, and that's all people take from the blog as a whole as if that's all we did for a month. It's an addition, there's multiple branches and multiple developers working on different things.
