Is this a bug? Is this intentional?

This is STILL listed in the FAQ as being in the game:

Hello? This was missing in beta and promised to be at launch.

Hello!

This was not promised to be implemented right at launch, it is still a planned feature as of now, but we do not have an estimate for when it will be implemented.
You are correct that this has no place in the FAQ as of now.

Sorry about the confusion, thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Hi I'm really curious why you feel like it wasn't promised when it was an advertised feature in the beta and much of the advertisement for the crowd funding of this game.

I played the beta and remember myself and others bringing up that this was a missing feature and I really do not remember any member of staff or the development team making it clear that this feature was going to be delayed until after launch.

It has remained in the FAQ since. I really hope the development team plan to address these missing features in a more transparent way.

This feature has not been promised during the kickstarter (crowd funding period), it has been brought up during Beta as well as been discussed during Early Access, but things in early development states are always subject to possible changes & it has been said even during EA that it is not known when the feature will be available.

I am sorry for your frustration, the FAQ will be updated asap to reflect the actual state & we take note of your desire for more available communication, as these things have mainly been brought up in the discord I believe!
That's a valid desire, thank you.

I will admit I was also confused as to why it wasn't implemented. IIRC near the end of EA it was mentioned to be nearly complete. Hopefully it can be added soon. All these missed encounters feel extra painful now
