Right...
One - It is still August until it is September
Two - 1.6 was meant to include the New District: Farmlands, but for some reason or other this was not included and pushed to 1.7. There is or was obviously something wrong with introducing this into the game. Maybe Arvus Games just did not anticipate the scope of this new feature during the planning stages or more realistically this new feature has introduced issues/bugs/glitches which has caused them not to be able to make it generally available at this time. Not to add there will be a new dice game introduced into the game as well as a number of new undocumented story content.
Three - It will be ready when it is ready. Arvus Games is not going to say anything until it is, unless they require additional time. This project has no publisher and it is not a benefit of being a Patreon member. They have nobody to answer too, never mind us.
