The problem is, that they released a game as finished which in fact wasn't finished by far, regarding the time and work that already went into the 1.2.x bug-fixes and QoL-improvement.
They are now trying to save it, by finishing the base game and that's in my opinion the best option here. So, thank you devs for that.
But this also doesn make the faulty release undone and because it's a version after 1.0, people are demanding more and more content and additions for a base, that wasn't finished and isn't ready for that, and where new stuff would only lead to more and new problems.
