Hotfix Updates Should Use an Additional ".0" to Avoid Game Drop Confusion

With the new addition of game drops such as Bundles of Bravery and the Winter Drop, the update numbers should add an additional ".0" for use for bug/hotfix updates.

Example: Bundles of Bravery will be 1.21.2, if after the update releases, a critical bug is found, the update number should be 1.21.2.1, rather than 1.21.3.

This change to the update number formatting could help lower confusion on updates, and give more weight to the game drops.

    This has been on my mind ever since 1.20, which has 3 hotfix updates (1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.20.6). The only downside I can think of is the numbers will get a bit large, having 4 sets of numbers.

    I agree! The numbers should be as follows:
    Release . Major Version . Minor Version . Hotfix

    Terraria follows this scheme and it works wonderfully. My only concern is that perhaps something would break internally.

    or they could adapt bedrocks numbering scheme so its 1.21.40 to 1.21.41 to 1.21.50, (though i'd admittedly prefer the former).
