Garry, do you still keep the [URL="http://mind42.com/mindmap/7abd1334-d170-42e7-b869-f74010b9b143"]Rust Mindmap[/URL] up to date? Just wondering because there are still things like signage which is in the game now and the bug where you could just keep firing by switching weapons which is also fixed, I really liked having that plan avalible to see what you guys were working on.
Deleting a single piece of the mindmap after implementing it, updating the mindmap and annoucing it to everyone seems like a useless thing to do.
Someone from the community can go through it and update it with green or red marks if they really so desire.
These are all great suggestions but what about the game developers keeping an up to date mindmap while their game is in development? Most early access games have some form of a roadmap to what they want to develop. We can't do everything for them. Can't they at least update that mindmap without us? It seems like the first reaction of these forums is to make excuses for the development team.
A mindmap is not a roadmap. The former was a snapshot of what the development team had on their minds/radar at that time, and isn't terribly useful long-term. The latter requires more of a commitment to end goals, strategies, projected methods and timetables, and it isn't terrible.... existent.

But considering it's been almost a year since it was produced and much has changed, an updated version might not be a bad idea...

It's be cool to see it make some progress and maybe have any new ideas the devs have come up with added onto it. It wouldn't take long for them to do and it'd be good for the community to have some idea of what to expect in the future now a lot of the current stuff on there has been added or veto'd

Just saying I think that the bitches and complaints that the community has maybe due to that... Oh wait it's just Alpha.... At this pace it will be Alpha until everyone gets tired and interest in this game becomes zero as it is already becoming antiquated.
