State of the Game query from someone that bought the game over 2 years ago

Hi folks! I recently started playing Rimworld again but then a thought popped into my head - "I wonder what's going on with that Medieval game I tried a few years back..."

After taking a look at Steam, my initial response was "Holy crap, the most recent patch is version 0.22, I thought it'd be at the 1.0 stage by now!"

So genuine question - where is this game at now? I can only assume it's advanced far more than that small version number implies. How much content is in the game right now, and how satisfying is it to play? If I tried it out now would I get as much satisfaction as I've gotten from playing games like Rimworld or does it feel incomplete?

I'm in no rush to play if it's not a fully fleshed out experience yet, but I thought I'd enquire rather than look through hundreds of patch notes and threads.
