Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„I want to make the best game I can, working directly with the community is the best and only way to do that.
As an automation game, outpost engineer has a lot of potential development options. The core gameplay loop is there, but player feedback is invaluable to help this game grow.
Additionally, releasing in early access will help polish some features (UI, crafting recipes, research loop, quality-of-life) based on feedback received.
So I'd like to welcome other people to play the game and voice their suggestions.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„For at least one year, but depending on player feedback and the amount of content I choose to put into the final game, it may take longer.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„Part of the focus will be on quality-of-life updates, polishing the user interface. The User interface is functional yet basic right now, language localization updates are planned.
The main menus have been translated to French, German, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and Turkish. In game descriptions are currently in English.
As for gameplay aspects, more diversity in resource extraction, a variety of additional machines to build and balancing will be considered. Sounds and particle effects will be further refined.
The game experience and overall lore will be more polished in the full version.”
