Curious if I could get some help learning some things that have changed in the game since I last played from what I noticed.

Such as the blueprint tree, if I learn something down the way does only it become available or does it fill it the items between where I was and it? Is there still monthly BP wipes? If so I assume it was a few days ago I seen they added above ground railways.

How much should you prioritize transportation now? I know they've added cars and places to buy horses along with bigger helicopters while making the original heli harder to get in the initial wipes. The map I'm playing on is huge and it felt like it was more of value to hunt horses than card zones so I could do multiple things in the day. I also made it underground at harbor and there was a cart there I'm not sure what it needs. Just seemed a decent amount extra to take out and potential lose so I was curious which were worth. Broken cars EVERYWHERE.

Did they nerf anything to slow down the early game? I know a lot of people complained then about things like the helicopter dome getting you guns in the first 30mins or so. I have looted I believe it was 12-14 military crates and got 0 guns and 0 explosives ontop of from normal boxes. I only managed to get some from an air drop and killing people.

Questing is it legit or just some side hustle with potential progressive rewards. I'd seen like some offering scrap some guns but you need other gear to try like the diving missions.

Thank you for the help and hopefully we don't run into each other in the wild. For my sake
