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.

Remember that well. The stomping sound of something unknown and very big was disturbing for a newbie player toting a AG4 and Kpist of dubious quality.

Machine spawns have changed a bit but the farmlands region is still pretty active.

I agree.
It’s different than before, but most times you find enough to destroy.
One more thing:
Yesterday I started a short route from ringfort to lilla hammarnäs, just straight north.
Directly south of margretelund, located north of control point broängen, there were lots of machines appearing or disappearing, depending on where I stood.
Just like close to many control points in forest region. It was a really hard battle, because the targets disappeared and appeared very often and it was hard to track where enemies are left. Many times right next to me.

Start at Lilla Hammarnäs, turn and head east. Every time I head into that ploughed field the enemies pop in and out of existence.

Took me back to my first tank encounter, sat inside a barn on edge of archipelago safe house, popping of runners with low star sniper rifle, the whole barn shakes to massive rocket barrage 
I recover peek outside to see a huge proto tank and instantly plan my retreat 
that tension was awesome then !
