Unspecified

 * They are looking into revamping the tutorial and very beginning of the game to provide a much easier entry into the game, and to bring in more people to the game and not scare them.
 * They specifically asked for the community to provide them with ideas and their own thoughts on how this could be accomplished in the future.
 * The main issue with only one type of fuel being possible with equipment (i.e. the Jetpack can only use Packaged Fuel) is because of an issue with the UI and the engine. They cannot create an efficient way for the game to select which fuel type at which time in your inventory for the Jetpack to use. Snutt has confirmed that it will be in the game eventually.

Dedicated servers
Dedicated servers are being worked on, but it has previously been an issue with finding dedicated individuals to work on it.
 * Jace referred to the developer job for dedicated servers as "in Harry Potter- the Dark Arts class, the teachers never last more than a year."
