Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Current Game
Right now the game is pretty basic.
Key features are there, but no story or driving force to continue exists currently.
Some stuff is also still being worked on, added, and changed.
Current builds should be mostly stable.

Current fully supported features:
Buying, growing, and selling of crops.
Buying, caring, and getting items from Livestock.
Starting and building relationships with NPCs.
Fishing in the waters around the map.
Mining is still a bit buggy.
Upgrading tools and using those upgraded tools to get work done faster.
Getting and completing Quests.
Minor story elements are in the game with more to come as it develops.
You can check the in game Post Office for items sent from me to you on occasion.»
