I think its reasonable to place responsibility on the modder for them to make their project as good as it can be.
Regarding criticism, this place, or anywhere really isnt supposed to be a circlejerk where poor work is rewarded with praise just because. The Em4 modding community will only stagnate further if people just release half-assed mods with no substance to them. Nobody wants that.
Once again I understand your concerns about wanting the mod done, but like I said, its damned if I do, damned if I dont.
Basically its this:
If I release a mod too early with bugs, people complain.
If I take my time on a mod and make it good, another set of people complain.
I can promise you that the vast majority of criticisms are not bullying myself or any developers. Criticism has nothing to do with the rate at which the mod gets completed. Miami mod for example doesnt get criticism (constructive or harmful) at all, yet its progress is slow because EmC Unit simply does not have the time to work on it as he did in 2013.
This is my final say on this whole topic. Id like to politely request that everyone go back to the topic of discussing the mod.
Besides, having to engage in discussion about the mod's release date is only further delaying the mod.
Here are some more updates.
Oil-dri and push broom functionality coming soon.
The Monida VFD Mack truck has been UV mapped. Civilian lights have been added in the editor. All I need is a template and some wheels and she's game-ready. I have some issues with it though. This particular tanker is a repurposed civilian tanker. Assuming the VFD installed a portable pump on it, what kind of capacity and rate would it have?
