Questions I have being I missed it:

1. Being world exploration isn’t going to be part of the game anymore, could we still get multiple connected maps ([as talked about a while ago](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/my-thoughts-on-game-direction/31755)), or are we forever stuck with the single, same size map? And for those modders among us, is there a chance you could release the exploration text as a mod?

2. A few streams ago ([Stream 295](https://youtu.be/tJFb14k5yEE)), there was talk about expanding workshops, and then this stream showed off a lot of new concept art. What’s the status of those additions and changes? If this was stated, then I’m sorry I missed it.

1. I can agree that those could be Tier 3, at the same time, I feel that Tier 3 should be a monument as by that time you have a city, not just a town.

2. Not just this stream, but others as well, there’s been the remark made multiple times of “_If we have time, we’ll do X_”. Seriously not being rude by saying this, but we’re already on year 5 of development, and last year it was stated the development could take another 5 years or more. Are there new time restraints on the game development? And if there are, how does this affect the game?
