Starts planned for later
Organ Trader, Junker and Street Food Vendor are listed as post-launch plans. Do not expect them to appear merely because they are mentioned alongside the release roadmap.
Other announced 1.0 additions
The release plans include the shop-ownership ending, endgame items, four difficulty settings, Workshop and mod API support, NPC stories, scenario traits, 21 achievements, a new UI and a night-time vending machine.
Main-story expansion, expeditions and more appraisal items belong to the later roadmap. The Demo is a separate content package and does not provide every announced release scenario.
