Lazy Bear Games pretty much dropped the game after it’s rocky launch and only became active again with the mobile release, where upon they released a buggy, underwhelming update marketed as a major overhaul.

It took the developers eight months to patch in promised balance fixes which amounted to removing mid-tier components/crafting from the game. Removing a mechanic instead of actually addressing the issue is incredibly sloppy and shows a lack of care for their own product. This was also done incorrectly as some quests still reward you with these now obsolete crafting materials.

When asked what to do with these unusable materials, a dev responded "we don't sure what to do with them. Just remove them feels unfair but we don't know yet how to reward player for them. As for other bugs - we forgot to update some balance values so... already fixing, sorry :("

How do you forget to update balance values on a patch that is labeled as "globally re-balanced the game" and took eight months to produce?

Some quests were broken by the new patch. One recipe appears 14 times in the crafting log and requires the removed crafting materials to make. Supposedly there are hotkeys now but there doesn't seem to be any way of seeing what they are and players are struggling to find out what they are on the Steam forums.

Just after the game's initial release, the devs also promised additional end game content that has yet to materialize.
