This week they added Bradley, it's a tank that'll guard the Launch Site soon. Apparently it was too easy to get the awesome loot at the the monument, so adding a guard dog like this M3 Bradley tank seems like a good idea. It's not fully implemented yet, but it is spawnable for admins. But be careful, it might be a bit buggy and glitchy.

Another major update with the monthly wipe. This week they finally added the new Launch Site monument, communal cooking barrels were added and they improved grass for players with beefy graphics cards.

The new monument is huge. It's about three times the size of an airfield. This monument is considered a higher tier than the other monuments and has new loot crates containing better loot. (comparable to about 4-5 militairy crates)

The new cooking barrels, or hobo barrels, can be used by anyone to cook your farmed meat. They can be found at the Launch Site and at the lighthouses. They work just like campfires, but they grant 100% comfort.

Also they added new grass with a variety in density, color and height. It's beautiful!

This update they made some pretty big changes to the mining nodes. Instead of getting stone, metal and sulfur from each of the nodes, you only get one of these resources from each node. Stone nodes yield 1000, metal nodes 600 and a sulfur node will give you 300 sulfur ore.

Another significant change are the new explosions. The explosions are a lot more fiery and when being close to an explosion they even added some screen shaking. A nice touch, in my opinion.
