The problem is not that people can't find the content. In my humble opinion, the problem is that people these days lack the motivation to read and try to understand anything. The main forum topic can be found here:
It has over 131 thousands views. Surely this number is inflated slightly, but even if it was only 10% of it (being about 13 thousand real, unique views) then we already have more than half the views then we have unique players each month. All the information is at the top of the topic, it also explains where to click (visually) and that it is now a separate module for the mobile factories.
Next to that we have the in-game changelog that is literally thrown in your face. Again, it is a lot of text and especially in-game it is a tough read which I acknowledge the full 100%.
And last on Discord we link to the Github release pages which you can find here:
These are reasonably readable. Github keeps track of some statistics:
We have an average exposure of about 450 unique views each day. That rounds up to roughly 6500 unique views in two weeks worth of time. Not everyone is reading the release notes however:
Regardless, again a large chunk of the people that knows where the content is. And to come back with what I started: people just don't take the time to read it through. We have tons of questions where to find the alternative for the hover-over-deposit-to-start building while it is the first paragraph of the in-game changelog and of the changelog on Github:
The only thing that I can imagine working is to have YouTube shorts and try and distribute those as much as possible. That would require new contributors though, because I lack the time to do that type of content in addition to everything else
