Capsule summary, releases are now on a delayed schedule of two weeks (or less) for basic access. Donators get advanced (1 wk delay for minor donation < $15) or full access (for donations of $15+). This is in addition to the Writer for Hire content that a donation already receives and is not a separate expense, but instead an added reward for supportive fans. The duration this access lasts depends on the size of the donation, but I think it's 1 month / hour (up to a certain limit). An account on the main server
http://flexiblesurvival.com is needed to regulate this, but is easily made and is free.
The update announcements contain dates of when that content was submitted by the devs and added to the game. Looking at the right-hand side of the blog, you'll see three time stamps labeled as "Last updates". These show the date/time of the version you'll receive when you download or play the game in browser. The one in colour (green, yellow or red depending on access level) will indicate this. Comparing this date to the date of the announced content will show you what new material you'll be able to see since the last time you played/downloaded. Also, when you start up the game, you'll see a 'serial number' under the game title and above your first view of the Bunker. This is the date the game was compiled, providing another way to see the date you're playing on.
