Update 27 - Resource Containers, Operation Stockpiles, and Map Posts

This is a large dumpster used to ship large quantities of raw resources. You can visually see the resources pile up in the container as it is filled, without needing to open up the UI. Resource Containers can be submitted directly to a Refinery, where their contained resources can be processed.




This structure is used to securely store weapons and vehicles for an operation in the future. Once an operation start time and description are defined, equipment can only be submitted but not removed from the stockpile. We hope this will not only allow dedicated groups of players to prepare more effectively for long term operations, but will also allow other random players to contribute and participate.




We are introducing a new map tool for posting shared persistent messages on the world map. Posts can be used to communicate a variety of information including reports of enemy positions and requests for supplies at a base. Other players can reply to a post to respond to a request for example. Map Posts can also be upvoted/downvoted so only the most relevant posts are surfaced to other players.




We've also made a number of game balance changes to help address some of the feedback we've received. While there are more changes that are being considered for future updates, for now you can expect the rare resource cost to be decreased for several key weapons and vehicles. Here is a sample of the changes:

• Armoured Cars now consume Diesel instead of Petrol
  
• Howitzer Shell HE Material cost reduced by 50%
  
• Light Tank Production Part cost reduced by 30%
  
• Light Tank Ammo rare resource costs reduced by 40%
  

Please refer to the release notes for additional changes.
