I hope they never will! Updates and moar stuff 'til the end, comrades!
It's still in early access.
Dunno how bad it was back then - I think I bought the game 1-1½ years ago. I come back every now and then - my newest gameplay started a few days ago.
I don't have data to compare to what is it nowadays versus what experiences you have of the game.
You can check out some gameplay videos. And there are lots of mods that can add up greatly to the experience.
I suggest you to give it another look/chance!
