It was mentioned in ISC that rivers are a simple case of a few clicks and some tweaks. Why are we only getting one? Should we expect more with every patch, or will they go on the back burner now that we've got one?
TL;DROnly one river shipped because the feature landed late and the branch cutoff left no time for more, but more are planned for microTech and other planets, with additions expected in later patches.
Part of it is when the feature actually came in, because Will did the first one versus the planet team doing it. Will was basically working out the code. And then from there, there were other things from a visual standpoint that needed to be adjusted and worked out. And so there are plans to add more to microTech and add them to other planets where they actually make sense. And so it was just that the planet team was focusing on different things. And in reality, the feature, we did the go/no-go for it, I want to say, early February. So for us, again, mid-February, that's when we cut things off and we say, okay, we're branching. So there was no other time for the teams to go in and adjust and do things.
So to the last part, do you think we'll add more in subsequent patches, or are they going on the back burner?
No, we'll add more. As far as I know, it'll be something for 3.18 and 3.19.
