Map Changes in 0.50.125365

[Tatanko 5591]

Here we go again! Stable branch was updated to 0.50 today, and with that came a number of new map changes that were not included at any point during Experimental. For the previous changes in 0.50 Experimental, see my other thread here.

 

First up in today's update is a town I've personally been waiting for since July: Belaya Polana. Located in the far northeast.

Next, we have the new buildings at the Krasnostav Airstrip (NEAF). Nothing too impressive, as these were "accidentally" previewed in a very unfinished form a while back.

Up next is the new Mine at Kamensk. This place is quite impressive. It has a series of caves/tunnels that lead to dead ends and openings above for sunlight. The interior is really very large, and I can imagine some excellent event opportunities for this location.

Finally, we have Novaya Petrovka and Topolniki. These two are located fairly close to one another and as such the line between them is rather blurred. They amount to a very large area of buildings and should be excellent for netting a wide variety of loot.

Awesome! Only place that I haven't been able to visit so far is Belaya Polana - gonna cover it tomorrow. Love the feeling of Novaya Petrovka and Topolniki - I also noticed there was one of the common large (long) barns at coordinates 031, 017 - but it had a large chunk of it missing from damage. Not sure if it's a new addition or not. 

 

The Kamensk military base also has some minor changes to it since experimental.

Hmm I'll have to give those a look. What all has changed with the new base? I assumed some changes would be made given Senchi's reaction to it's early inclusion in Experimental, but of course I walked right past the entrance to the base on my west last night  :P

Go take a look when you get the opportunity. Belaya Polana is a perfect counterpart to Berezhki just south of it... they are possibly the two most unique towns of all the new ones that have been added in the last 6 months. It has a great isolated feeling to it, like the world ended for everyone except this town haha. It's "pristine".

I don't know why, but I just love the feeling of the smaller villages. Isolated, quaint, unaffected by the world around them.

Agreed. Berezhki, Belaya Polana, and older villages like Pulkovo, Guglovo, and Drozhino are the best.

I never searched the base extensively in experimental, but the large hangars were removed, the barracks traded positions with one of those non-enterable barracks-looking buildings, and the jail building was moved to the east side of the base where the hangars were previously. Also seems to me like there's a bit more underbrush, though I'm not positive.
