This is an Early Access game, not a Live Service. You seem to be confused as to the difference as you have Live Service expectations from an Early Access game.
Live Services care about a high constant player count because they need it to milk customers via subscription fees and microtransactions, Early Access does not and should be focused on a Quality product.
There is has been tons of communication and a whole wealth of information available if one chooses to actually look for it.
The devs had made it clear the reason things got delayed, and when to expect the next update, and they aren't going to push out a janky unfinished update just to appease those who have the expectations of a Live Service Game from an Early Access game.
These demands for constant updates and 24/7 entertainment over quality is exactly what has led to so many crappy broken game releases. It's also the difference that has caused once stellar companies players loved like Blizzard to become loathed because they have forgone Quality for Quantity.
It's fine to be unhappy with the initial delays, but they have announced the reasons, when to expect things, and what, and making the 500th thread about the very same topic is just being part of the problem. It's the equivalent of asking "ARE WE THERE YET?" every 5 minutes on a cross country road trip.
