There's a special quest type available from the traders that switches between different traders every 15 days / or becomes available at a random trader after 15 days?

Well, for example, every 15 days it will be possible to update the list of quests from the trader and choose the right one. Or another version: after the 15th day, it will be possible to visit the trader 24 hours a day, at any time

zombie kids after 15 days
i'm joking So This looks like special type of quest with few choices and will be refreshed after 15 days
Puzzle time: My take on the turnabout sign on the raging kid is that the kid symbolizes raging like a zombies and as it is on a menue that is a choice to **turn** into a zombie.
This means the kickstarter promise that you can play as a zombie was implemented finally.
Part of the package if nobody pays for information anymore. And the alternative is even worse now.

Something, something, reloading chunks every 15 days based on what direction you're facing?
... Yeah, I'm leaving this to those who are more clever.

after looking at your answer, I think your guess is closer to the truth, not that I can confirm or deny everything.Ok let's get it on:
kid with the repeat symbol on the shirt is a zombie horde (wow he's the exact match of a starving tourist)
15 day timer means 15 Days will be the cycle.
little sign up right with the three arrows means "random choice"
"Toadys special" just means what it is (special event)
the guy to the left in the background is us (the player) caring for some other stuff and probably taken by surprise by whatever happens behind his back
So my guess:
Every 15 days there will be a special "surprise" event (probably special random superhorde, occurring random time of day)
...maybe even with zombie hippos in it
edit:
Maybe it should be "randomly once in every 15 days" instead of "every 15 days",
because a random superhorde occurring right after hordenight day 14 would be a bit unfair
...at least for those who aren't used to DF sreamer cycles after every hordenight
however, I do know that TFP have been trying to turn Fubar's Twitch integration system into an ingame special event system, and this may be a tease for some of those settings in world gen menus or options?

Going to guess:
*Something* refreshes every 15 days. Maybe ores to reduce the amount of digging and hopefully increase performance.

Bandit attack at day 15?

Wasn't the kid's name Chunk, so are we looking at some kind of chunk reloader?

Forgot the kid's name was Chunk so I guess it has to have something to do we Chunk Reloading or Refreshing (though not entirely sure how that would work or what it accomplishes). I'm guessing it'd be similar to loot refresh in that chunks you haven't visited in 15 days refresh? But that doesn't account for the arrows or specials board in the clue.
Maybe it's something like, every 15 days there's a special quest available that is something like 'Clear Chunk' so clicking the quest icon resets all the POIs in the chunk?

hmmm, chunks load in a radius around you, so arrow pointing in multiple directions... but who knows, as for the number. can now load more of them with same memory usage, speed, efficiency... so many options to guess from.

Regarding the new feature:
Sign indicates special event. Timer indicates every 15 days and circular arrows say its re-occurring. Goonies indicates a treasure (airdrop) which bad guys will also be after. Outward facing feet and three arrows indicates travel away to the event.
So. airdrop/ treasure hunt every 15 days with bandits guarding it.
Another more imaginative event would be every 15 days bandits take over a new nearby POI replacing zombie sleeper volumes so that the town becomes dangerous unless each new occupation is squashed.

Because spears are getting a proper power attack like other weapons.
Spear throwing was always a gimmick and no power attack made spears pretty much the worst weapon choice going, so it's a good trade off.

Ok I bring you the definitive guess.
So, on the 15th day a horde will spawn, but it's not a normal horde.
The feet and arrows symbolizes the movement, forward (slightly right and left too), but no back movement.
The kid looking upwards screaming in disbelief of the humongous thing he's looking at.
The loop arrow thingy in his chest symbolizes the sacred loop of time, what has been, it will be again.
So...Dinosaurs are totally confirmed for Alpha21.
