It was not possible because every new thing literally touched/needed every other new thing

A beta is a beta. It's there to find bugs and to finish up balancing. The "complaints" ( or reports ) are the sole purpose to have the open beta in the first place.
Nah, pretty much everything was intertwined with the new subspecies mechanic.
Just shipping languages in a mini-update? "Cheap copy of cultures".
The subspecies traits control a lot now on how the game works and provide the scaffolding for everything else - in a much nicer way than how it was before. Without it it would have been about shipping weak features.
That's the opposite of what I meant. Different species do adapt cultures and languages of other species, taking over their naming etc.
Maybe you gotta explore a bit more
That's just balancing. There are evolutions based on biomes etc, and next beta update already has more stuff for it.
So if you think it sucks rn then a mini-update 1.5 years ago only introducing that one little feature without anything else would have sucked even more. That was the point.
