Version 1 is some kind of aspirational dream, I don't think that they would be able to tell you what it would take for the game to be complete. I don't think they would ever charge for the game. So far the main dev has been making 30-50k a year for many years off donations. It's a complete playable game that improves or get buggier from one release to another. As for size, there are two modes, a massive rouge like that I don't care for and a colonization fortress mode that I do enjoy. Fortress mode is like minecraft but 100% more complex.
