So is it time to jump in yet?
I'm one of those people who watched closely during launch and saw the backlash and decided to wait. I have no burning desire to play necessarily, but I do plan to play it at some point.
Will this update be the right spot to jump in.
If the core mechanics are in a good spot, I'd be happy to sink time into it. I have 20ish hours into Astroneer and that's pretty much only mechanics, and I think it's amazing.
There's still much not known about the new update just wait a bit more to see if it's something you would want to play.
