Hello!
We've been patching weekly since our Early Access launch in May, sometimes more than once a week. As we get a few months in, many of the remaining tasks are pretty complex and large, requiring more than a week at a time.
We'll be moving to a bi-weekly patch schedule as a result, allowing us some more time to make each patch a bit meatier. As always we'll see how it goes and make changes based on your feedback if needed. We're excited to continue to build and develop Miner's Mettle for you!
Thanks,
Ignatius
