The roadmap's purpose is to show what gameplay features are being added into the game:

• We’re working with four milestones that divide the Early Access phase chronologically. They do not have distinct dates yet, though.
  
• The progress values roughly represent the current status, respectively.
  
• Once a feature has reached 70%, we consider it playable and testable (in the EA).
  
• Looking forward, we’re going to update and expand it.

The Timeline[www.cattleandcrops.com] is more helpful if your wanting to know what/when there're updates.

I understand what you're saying but personally I believe that's when it starts getting risky outlining plans and making specific release dates essentially needing to commit to them. Hence why many developers don't do it, and only announce dates and plans as things get closer.

You never know what's going to happen in game development and if you set out a plan of saying these features will be implemented in Q1 as mentioned you'll be committed and players will be expecting to come in Q1 but something might come or a bug stopping it being released so you'll be forced to delay it.

So personally best not to commit to any dates or plans until they're 100% certain it will be available on those dates.

i agree it is a risk but i believe it is a bigger risk to keep the fan base in the dark than risk disapoint them personally i would respect the devs more it they said we are hoping to release mp in Q3 and then late in Q3 anounce we are sorry but due to alot of bug fixing we have to delay mp that is better than leave us in the dark not knowing at all
