What I wanted to get out there was that we are still alive and we have not just abandoned you, but there were logistical things that had to take priority. In my next post I will ellaberate on that more directly, a…

Hey ArkCoNauts! We wanted to let everyone know that we are going to have to push the patch back by one week.
