Hello Vikings In order to answer the demands of the community to participate in the development of the game, we intend on having a persistent open beta to let you experience the update on your computer and tell us if it's working as intended!
The content
The content on those updates can go from the next addition to the game to a planned balancing patch.
We do not intend on using the beta for every content we'll release, or change it after some feedback, but we know some of them deserve to be appreciated by the community to ensure the best condition when released in the live version of the game!
Content in this branch is experimental and what be change at the will of the devs and, if possible, in accordance with the overall feedback we receive from you!
The first beta opens with a bunch of new content! More details here:

Your report
We intend on bringing a new system of bug reporting in-game, which, funnily enough, will be first experimented here!
With that button, you will be able to send us every information on a bug you got and include your save. The system will deal with sending us your seed and other info directly!
On the discord, we re-open the Open Beta channel to allow you to send some suggestion and feedback on what is being tested. If you want to participate in full time, see you there!

As you figured, this beta will evolve with time, we'll take feedback on it if you have some! You can reach us easily on Reddit or on our social media like Twitter/X and Facebook! We'll also create a space to share some feedbacks on Steam and Discord so be sure to check there if you want to become an active participant of this branch!
