Nah, bro, I'd rather have everything in one go. Also, for anyone that doesn't only own QoL mods, it definitely does take time to properly polish.
Well let's say Fargos or Thorium for example, how long will it take?

Took me like 3-5 days to port Fargo's Mutant Mod, but it was incredibly unpolished. Souls would take considerably longer. Thorium already has a port started by @direwolf420 AFAIK, but I'm not familiar enough with the code-base to estimate.Well let's say Fargos or Thorium for example, how long will it take?

Your thinking is flawed.So for this large 1.4 update you'll have to spend 1-2 weeks sorting out one of the biggest mods on the platform, and less time for smaller mods.
Let's imagine Tmodloader prioritises all of the most important bugs, fixes them, then releases today. You'd spent 1-2 weeks updating. Then Tmodloader can spend time working on their four main core objectives listed above in their own time, and push out an update when that's complete in a couple of months time. In which you spend another week updating.
Would you prefer making thousands of players wait another six to twelve months for Tmodloader, so that modders don't have to spend 1-2 weeks time updating their project?
Secondly, your method of thinking is narrow-minded. The entire point of stuffing this into a single update is to avoid annoying and cumbersome accommodations and obsolete/otherwise archaic implementations in the future. A lot of time has gone into refining and improving the actual code base and API as a whole. Your thought experiment isn't realistic and doesn't accurately represent what the team is focused on, so it doesn't really apply.
You completely missed the point. One of the main purposes of this update is to abolish redundancies and obsolete features. This would just reinstill them later.They could make these changes after releasing. Development doesn't cease after release.

Because doing that after a release would force a bunch of mods to update again, which is generally inconveniencing and takes away from one of the main goals of tML 1.4 restructuring and refactoring its internals. Stop being selfish and asking for an unfinished mess of an update.Why not do this after releasing?

Absolutely not. No idea why the hell that's there, blame Mirsario.Is an object-oriented topological sorting-based redesign of interface layers and world generation passes necessary to this goal?
blushie really isn't around much, anymore. Most of us want to keep this more under wraps, regardless.Strange to see that Blushiemagic still didn't update this thread to the new Alpha version for 1.4.
Maybe tomorrow or in a couple of days she edits this thread.
Why under wraps?blushie really isn't around much, anymore. Most of us want to keep this more under wraps, regardless.
No need to spread the news of the alpha around and get peoples' hopes up regarding a potential proper release date. This is still just an alpha, as well, and isn't production-ready. It's only out currently for the sake of testing.Why under wraps?
I think I don't care about it. It has no reason to be a secret. And a good way to tell that's true is that lots of youtubers like chippy gaming are announcing that. So I see no problem in spreading it. And, as far as I know, it's not strictly prohibited in this forums to talk about it. So I will do it.No need to spread the news of the alpha around and get peoples' hopes up regarding a potential proper release date. This is still just an alpha, as well, and isn't production-ready.

Thank you Jopojelly.We're trying to manage expectations so that regular users don't get upset when their mods, players, and worlds break day to day as we change code. By making sure everyone reads the announcement on the discord, we can ensure that they all internalize the massive warnings. If they do, they won't have expectations that they might otherwise have and start playing through the game for real.
You do have to keep in mind though that Discord has problems from time to time, as an example: I've hit this when trying to get information on a Starbound mod pack who's author has decided to do the very same thing and have information about the pack locked in some channel on some discord. I've also hit this problem trying to look up information on various Terraria Mods themselves who's mod authors have retreated away from these community forums for who knows WHAT reason...By making sure everyone reads the announcement on the discord
I never said you couldn't talk about it, or it had to be kept a secret? And YouTubers announcing it doesn't mean anything?I think I don't care about it. It has no reason to be a secret.

TML is a public server as it stands, so you should be able to preview it without needing to join. You can also just create an alt account or switch to a private tab and join with a dummy account to view the code.You do have to keep in mind though that Discord has problems from time to time, as an example: I've hit this when trying to get information on a Starbound mod pack who's author has decided to do the very same thing and have information about the pack locked in some channel on some discord.

Not everyone can join every single discord server just for information, so making it (referring to the announcement you referred to above...) publicly available on this thread would also help. Just saying.
