NEW FEATURES
Update 60 includes a broad range of small features and improvements across the entire game. Below is a highlight of the more prominent changes.
FACILITIES
Several new Facilities improvements have been made. First, a new Facility modification, the Heavy Munitions Foundry has been added, which is used to produce ammunition for tanks and heavy infantry weapons outside of logistics towns.
A new form of Map Posts have been added to help builders highlight public Facilities to other players in the world. They communicate what can be produced and what is stockpiled at a given Facility.
Besides that, many other tweaks to gameplay have been made to Facilities gameplay. Watch the devstream for details.
SQUAD OFFICERS
A new Squad Officer rank has been added, allowing Squad Leaders to better manage their Squads. Officers are next in line for promotion to Leader if requested, if the Leader becomes AFK, or if the Leader goes offline.
