A poll sounds like a good idea

Before the update ships… What do you think, will there be such control points in the other regions, too in future?
Archipelago: No, I don’t think so. It’s too early in the game.
South Coast: Maybe in the upper west part of the region, but the rest already is full with anything else. And: it could make problems with the fnix rising dlc missions if there would be bases.
Mountain Region: if they don’t change the topology in many ways, I don’t see much space. Maybe just in the lower west end.
Marshlands and Northcoast: There, I guess, would just control points of soviet bases make sense.
I’m still excited how the game will change and maybe some day I will start a new game, just to see how it affects the story. We’ll see. Let’s hope, it’ll make sense.

It’s good to see you feeling a bit more positive about the game. I thought we lost you to the Dark side.

I’m excited for the update personally, instead hope that they fixed a few more of the bugs.
First impressions after just a few minutes:
- game starts faster
- map is smoother
- all safehouses are gone again
- a random seeker got in proximity of my Älgbacken defence and got shot
- my reaper is gone (it was there for multiple weeks, I just destroyed some rivals a few days ago, therefore region level in farmlands just at 18 currently)
- going prone from crouching stance now works as it should

Did a farmlands base assault within minutes of post update. Claimed my first control point near Lilla Hammarnäs however unlike the south there seem to be no machine spawns in the surrounding farmlands. Hope that is not a trend. Levelling up my character nicely thanks!
So…
Did the machines evaporate or not like in the Forest?
- Only vote if you tried it out
- It does not matter if you like the update or not, we just want actual real info about machine numbers.
- Be Honest
Are there less machines at the Farmlands?
- Yes
- No
- Unclear

Fell into water at control point sjöglimten and came in an endless loop of respawning in the water… Wasn’t able to fast travel because I was in battle with the harvester there.
Some areas looked good today, in some I felt very lonely.
Did the graphics get an upgrade? The foliage specifically looks more detailed, and light rays look better too.

I think this after every update.
The ticks got improved, they changed the headlights of the police cars to a way smoother round one, the fire looks better, the map runs smoother,…
Maybe I’m wrong, but there seem to be way more changes than written in the log.
Edit:
Did you see that you can now do a wheely on the bike? Press or hold “move backwards” (left stick down) while cycling and the front wheel will go up.

I just travelled from Överby Air Base north, to Villa Hammarnäs, and I was surprised by the machines numbers. There were a LOT of machines… much more than before this update.

I only started today my “recon” of the area.
Some machines seem to have changed areas.
But there is still a lot of “fun” in the farmlands.
The question now is.
I only have 1 fnix base, right at the entrance of the Farmlannds from the direction of the Archipelago.
Will the machines disappear if more bases appear?
@0L0 Hammarnas seems to be like it was before, a few less machines near Stenbacka but more at the left (Hammarnas)
So the update was not a disaster like in the Forest.
I hope machine numbers will remain as they are.

The proto tank at the start of farmlands appears to be gone.
This is a very poor decision in my eyes. It acted as sort of a gate guardian for people to choose to take on once they get past the “intro” area.
It was also almost always there, making finding a tank easy.

A sad day indeed now that the tank there is gone. I do remember first running into it 3 years ago, and promptly sprinting by it so I didn’t die with my 1C pistol and 3C HP5

Yesterday on my first look the tank was there. On the second look not any more.
Lilla hammarnäs was empty. No machines to hear or to see, except one tank at south of the stable next to the small hunters lodge… But I was just able to see it when going close. It suddenly appeared.
East of Stora dyrbo was very empty, too, just north of the crater there were machines in a battle.
At first I was also disappointed, but just past the road to scrapyard there were 2 proto Tanks

@MarkNcheese42 The harvester is also no longer there, probably due to the new control point and the new small lake.
I still remember, in 2019 the entrance to the farmlands was a very scary place to newcomers.
3 Tanks and 2 Harvesters roaming around, sometimes 2 other Tanks from the West would also appear together.

A military harvester welcomed me directly after the lake yesterday. I wasn’t used to the lake and fell into it… Many, many times… The respawn from falling into the water was in the water. And because I was in battle with the harvester, I wasn’t able to fast travel. So I had to quit and repeat.
