Worst suggestion ever

I propose not to wait for February 16th, but release 0.9 today as experimental version.

I think releasing now will only introduce known bugs to the player base, causing the devs to have to spend time on acknowledging bugs they already knew about instead of fixing things and balancing the system. In the end, releasing next friday will probably net a better release than releasing before playtesting and then having to spend needless time with the community instead of fixing.

While I like release spam that shows all the new stuff, you can't just release things like that overnight.
Even though we're used to buggy releases, this could top all of them due to sudden deadline change resulting in debug code being left all over the place.

That said, I'd love to have some sort of nightly builds feature somewhere. Even if it had a big red "DO NOT REPORT BUGS IN NIGHTLY, ONLY REPORT THEM ONCE YOU REPRODUCE THEM IN EXPERIMENTAL", it would help with early bug detection. It is also more fun to have buggy features to experiment with than no features.

right, just set the repo as the update source

Believe me, no it's not. And nobody would listen to the "DO NOT REPORT BUGS IN THIS".

Exactly.

We have been playtesting for the past 2-3 days and a lot of elementary bugs have popped up since then. Also we needed to test the new recipe overhaul
