In addition, we are sharing our current plan for the Raw Data Roadmap throughout Early Access. We will be continually pushing updates and bug fixes to the game, with new features launching every two weeks. Keep in mind, a big part of the development of Raw Data is the response, feedback, and ideas from players. Based on this we may change priorities, modify release cadence, or add/remove features to improve the game. Balance adjustments and specific fixes are not detailed here, but will happen continuously throughout Early Access as well.
