Question about the nightly builds

I'm kind of confused about what exactly the nightly builds include. Are they everything that has been worked on since the last update? Or do they just include some of the smaller stuff while the bigger features are worked on quietly?

 

both. it depends on what's "ready." but mostly just both.

 

That's a little sad since I tried the nightly build and it's not all that much different than the last stable build. Kind of underwhelming considering it's months and months of work. :/

 

Really? I guess the next stable update will be later than I anticipated. By the end of the year, perhaps?

 

I disagree quite vehemently with that statement. The list of things they've changed and added is quite long. Everything from Ocean planets, to progression mechanics, to a brand new tile rendering engine. The combat fixes, monster gen changes, and world gen changes are more than notable and change how the game operates very significantly.

 

Yes, the nightly builds are very underwhelming.
