hfm: They have updated it at least once since launch with 4 mod updates at least. It seems they are keen to keep it current on some schedule.
HunchBluntley: I think the main reason for the first (only?) update was to remove the mods made by the two modders who spoke out against their inclusion without the modders' consent.
Weird, first update I had 4 mods were changed.
I'm shocked they didn't reach out to all the modders before including them in the release. Bad form IMO. Though the prospect of someone checking now and then for mod updates and keeping it updated is extremely appealing as I don't believe all of them are on Nexus, of which vortex can also achieve that if the mods are compatible with installing them with it and they exist on Nexus Mods.
Since I turned off "airships" I haven't had any more lockups, so I suppose I could probably just complete the game at this point without any further updates.
