Patch 8 - On the road to victory. (More PvP, More Crafting, More Destruction, More Fixes)

In this patch we are extending the PvP mechanics and among a bunch of technical fixes and updates we also added a few new items for you. The way you are building in the game is very likely to change now with this update - many structures can be destroyed and we can't wait on your feedback on these changes. For the PvP mechanics we'll definitly need your help! Are structures too easy or too hard to destroy ? Were you able to attack a base and take it over ? How are the mechanics coming together ?

This patch introduces a lot of features that we initially wanted to see in the game - but in order to make them work together perfectly it's necessary that you'll give us some feedback - so head out and please let us know what you think! The crafting system is getting extended, we are planning to bring the CNC Table back to life next week, make adjustments to the current PvP mechanics and push a bit harder for more content. Next patch should feature static resource hubs like massive stone spawns and oil fields. With the introduction of oil many items will be harder to craft, many weapons will require some plastic so you'll have to either conquer one of the oil fields or trade with the owners!

Unfortunatly due to the changes and amount of exploits fixed we had to wipe the official another time. We intend not to wipe the server anymore unless it's necessary (due to exploits).
