What stands in for a roadmap
The Early Access FAQ names three 1.0 directions: new biomes, more RV customization, and deeper survival and crafting. A 22 June 2026 developer reply on the Steam discussion board adds interior upgrades (solar, interior lights, cabinets), new points of interest, new food, and roadblocks. The same reply says the team is not building a sanity meter, hunting, or deep crafting.
