Tank Randomization Algorithm change
We have received many reports from you about issues with the randomization system during excavations. Our players were not happy with the constant repetition of the same vehicles, which could even occur several times in a row. We have generated a few millions of extraction as our sample size and put the results to this table:

From this patch, the game will handle the tank randomization differently - the game will react to what and how many tanks the players have. The game will favor tanks that the player does not currently own - that does not mean that currently owned tanks will not be selected - only their probability to be selected gets lower.

Please let us know what do you think about those changes. It should help you get faster to the tanks you want. For all hardcore grinders, we left an option in the settings which will let you bring back the old randomization system.

Contract Creator Tool
We have added another tool that allows creating and sharing through Steam Workshop contracts, receivable through Email Menu - to find out how please check ModdingTools\UnityPackages folder and ContractCreatorReadme.pdf. Have fun ;)

Thanks and have a good one!
