I have poured a lot of hours in 7 days but the development feels really directionless and bogged down. Removing gore blocks might have been defensible perf wise (even though there seem to be many other low hanging fruits), but it means that the bases are now extremely easy to defend. Everybody (myself included) in the group of friends I play with have lost interest in the game after spending horde nights calmy waiting atop a fortification that nothing can breach.
