So, for what is hopefully the last time, the item pickup poll that has tied 2 previous times on Twitter/X has now opened on Google Forms, and will close a week later on March 6th, 2026 at 6 PM EST, with the results planned to be posted in a comment here soon after the poll ends, which I think is less likely to be a tie this time.
You can find the poll and submit your vote here, and also, as a small update, the USB issue's data recovery attempt (which was first mentioned here) is still ongoing, with the most recent update I got from the lab stating it was more severe than they first suspected and due to that it meant it going to take longer to try and recover the data beyond the 1-2 week estimate I had originally thought, so due to that, since I still don't know when I might get my USB back if the recovery does end up being successful, the start date for the map layout voting polls has been delayed to March 27th, 2026, with the voting planned to end a week later on April 3rd, and the results published in a devlog on April 6th.
These new dates take into account the prolonged USB data recovery time, and if I end up getting the recovered data and map layout files sooner, those map layout poll voting dates might even be pushed up by a week or two, but for now, this is where things unfortunately stand regarding the USB issue progress.
