To keep feedback constructive, *Astartes feature requests and feedback* are now in our Supporters section. Recent public threads have become difficult to manage, so we’re moving these discussions to a more focused space.

Weekly Release Cadence
Based on your feedback around the chaotic nature of releases over the past few weeks, we’re moving to a weekly release schedule. Supporters get access to early builds each week to help us test and refine new features. Once stable, builds will be released on Nexus Mods for everyone to enjoy.
