Hello. I was reading about this, its a old post about changes in server:
First of all: it is NOT an update.
- many faction name added (Generic Name X), where X is 1-700+
- gathering timeout /4
- crafting timeout /2
- faster base worldmap speed
- pathfinder gives more speed bonus
- chance for rats/radscorps/shit-encounters drastically lowered
- ammo crafting gives +50% bullets
- talk timer *2
- barter timer +15s
Remember, this changes are temporary and will not be a part of next update (which is connected to server wipe, as we all know). Proper values will - most likely - revert to original ones (with some notable exceptions such as wm speed), but this small edit will give you a change to check, how 2238 will look like, if most discussed parts of mechanics are made little "softer".
As you can see, this are small changes that - we hope - won't make game unplayable until server reset (what will happen if we start so-called "pre-wipe madness", as requested by lot of players). Maybe something good can come out of that, maybe not. We'll see. Meanwhile - have fun.
And i was thinking that if it can be a little "noupdate" but "changes" in the game, improving some features.
Because wipe is not coming until next year (its the most logical because there is a lot of features that need balancing) so, can be little changes like this, to make the game more fun to play.
So, can some little changes be made it? Some perks fixed? HTH weapons damage improved? Or some like that? Whitout wipe??

They make us feel real good:)
And more prosaic truth - when your current build is starting to be 'the one that should be deployed after wipe' it becomes troublesome to keep those small changes in other branch, and work simultaneously on main one. Lazy devs;)

But those temporary changes decreased the cooldown for roaming crafters and scavengers and therefor brought more fun into it. I didn't see anyone complaining about them yet. I hope we see those in the next wipe against all odds.
