Of course the changes are big and that is natural in the process of creating. I myself am producing music and yes, as you create, sometimes everything changes. "NOTHING IS SET IN STONE" says the trello.
I don't know if this is answer as your question is not clear, but I hope it answers at least something.
I could only suggest building your base somewhere with a lot of predators. You might get lucky and some might glitch through your walls and try to eat your face while you're walking around.
More serious is Trello roadmap marking things as finished before they actually are finished. Then it get's delayed, like always with programming when things don't go so well. And we get this:
Ability to quit to Main Menu done (since 23. March ? - but still not inside!)
This is as dangerous as forging a historic document backwards in time, though it was no aim, just being too optimistic and recording in advance. People looking at Trello in a year will see that the roadmap was perfect in time. Even so it wasn't. Maybe in a year we'll see that the game who might have finished on Xmas is still labelled as finished in August. I'd hate to see that.
There is far too many times in game development where the devs of that game decided to be very vocal at the beginning about what they are currently working on, but become more cautious due to players calling the devs liars due to some feature being delayed or scrapped in development.
The devs have worked their asses off, give them some time for a good rest - they deserve it.
But Early Access should never be an excuse for everything....
The best thing we can do as the players and tester is help them.
Talking, suggesting and giving feedback is the best way to help the game go into the right direction
Here 2 features already marked as finsished, but not in the game at this time:
Main menu isn't there
Aurora expansion isn't there
It's not the devs purpose to mark unfinished things as finished, but devs from other game companies have marked EA games as released and abondoned them afterwards. I hope UWE is aware of that. I'm still a fan of them, but I don't like this kind of policy.
Just came across this with StarForge on Steam. They might screw their current customers by releasing a game in Alpha as a finished product, but an Overwhelmingly Negative rating and the customers' review will keep most potential customers away from their game and potentially other future games. If a company has a reputation of releasing Early Access games as the full game, then it is hard to overcome that negative reputation.
Just can't use the EA abbreviation for Early Access due to Electronic Arts. In fact, your post would work for both Early Access and Electronic Arts games.
StarForge devs released another game "Reign of Kings" afterwards that was mildly popular for awhile. Unfortunately one alpha game that immediately jumped to Release without being finished is apparently not enough to permanently tarnish a companies reputation.
Perhaps not, but setting up a reputation for releasing Early Access games as the full game requires multiple examples. All that really can be said on Reign of Kings is that it is very likely to end up the same as StarForge. Instead of continually fixing the game until it is in a decent state, their devs will likely jump to a new project when they become bored with it.
We are pretty far along in development at this point - IMVHO features need to be frozen and it would be hard for any dev to incorporate many changes.
Also, just because it is finished doesn't mean one should expect it to be in the experimental build. Things could go months from being finished to being integrated for testing purposes!
