The developer of RimWorld [Official Site] has said that the next version will be the big 1.0 release as they outline what to expect from it.
In this lengthy double reddit post, the developer Tynan Sylvester, outlines some things we should expect from the big release. They also explain how they simply cannot put in everything people want, naturually, because not everything works. What's also interesting, is that the developer claims they've had "76-year old grandmas and 10-year-old kids" email in to thank them for making a game they can actually play, which is really sweet!
As for 1.0, Sylvester said they are "furiously refining the hell out of this thing" and listed a few things coming like a heavily redesigned interface, systems and balance for caravans. There's also a watermill power generator and underwater power cables, a huge optimization to mod loading, cooks refuel stoves before cooking if needed instead of waiting for haulers, and plenty more!
They said that was just things off the top of their head too, there's likely tons more that will be coming. It's exciting, as it's already a fantastic game even if it was to release right now.
Thanks for the tip Jan!

Quoting: GuestNice. I’ll get it if it the DRM-free version ever goes on sale.
I'm so sick of seeing "if it's on sale"... These people, especially the smaller devs, need $ to survive, and they work damned hard. Buy saying you'll only buy their game if it goes on sale you just devalue their work.
How likely do you think it is that some are now inflating their prices so that a sale is affordable to them?
Quoting: Luke_NukemBecause the frequency of Steam sales has eliminated full-price purchases for the patient. It makes it feel like you got ripped off to buy a game and then see it hit 25%+ off a week later. I do hear your point. I want to say I agree. But my actions don't agree with you. I am so behind in games that I basically only buy games that have been out for a year or more because I still don't want to miss out. There is NO POINT wasting my money on a new release if I have 10+ great games I haven't started yet. That said, I do have friends that get through games quickly and want more. They buy new games at release. So, I know that not everyone is in the boat I am in. Hopefully those guys agree with you. :)Quoting: GuestNice.

Thank you for your valuable insight.

This game has never been on sale and the developer has mentioned that it will never be on sale, but that the price might go up when it leaves EA. Most likely done to prevent all the annoying situations that sales induce (Buying a game before a big sale, inconsistencies between different stores, etc).
So if you want to play this game, just buy it now, $30 is as cheap as it will ever be. You also get a Steam key if you buy the DRM-free version off their website.
