We'd like to thank all players who send us reports and suggestions. Thanks to you, this changelog is so rich. Another round for applause for community translators, who keep the game localized in your languages. You're awesome!
Yesterday marked the end of Leaderboards Season 3. Now that all the clean ups have been weighed, it's about time to announce the TOP 10 mine bosses!
Congratulations to all of the participants! Each one of you deserves a huge round of applause for your determination and backbreaking work.
Now take advantage of the brief respite before the Leaderboards Season 4. Polish your machines, revise your strategy and get well-rested for the upcoming adventure. A shiny, special Front-End Loader skin awaits for the grittiest prospectors!
We will be announcing the Season 4 start date shortly. TOP 10 s03 players will receive their rewards with the next major Update.
We have just released a new Patch with breakable parts for the Light System Trailer. Check out the full list of changes below.
Changelog
Added breakable parts to the Light System Trailer: - Piston - Wheels - Fuel filter - Battery - breaks down when the Trailer is turned off during winter. All the parts are available in the Stores.
Light System Trailer's arm collapses when the piston is removed.
Added outline to the Light System Trailer in the Shop.
Dig the gold all day and all night with the brand new Light System Trailer. Auto-leveling mobile diesel trailer will let you extend and rotate its arm to light up your claim. The extendable arm has 2 thresholds. The second threshold (>50%) is available when the trailer is in the deploy mode. The trailer can't be attached to the pickup in the deploy mode. It is possible to rotate the lights in any mode.
Leaderboards Season 3
Ready your shovel and prepare for an adventure. Show your gold mining skills and compete in two leaderboard modes: Max Gold (the total amount of Gold dug), Season Gold (the best Gold per Season ration). There is a price to dig for: the unique Excavator skin.
Workers Experience
Workers can now get more skilled with time! For each working day at your gold mine (counted on midnight), they gain +1% performance. When the worker reaches maximum performance for a particular Tier, the Upgrade option is unlocked, which allows upgrading the worker to the next Tier. The Upgrade itself doesn't increase the performance.
Store Sales
Once in every 1-3 days, a random part in each store will be on sale. The sales are independent for both stores (machines and equipment) and can happen on different days. Items are on sale only in physical stores (in other words: there will be no discounts on the laptop). Discount range: • Machine Store - 10-25% • Equipment Store - 15-30% Players will be informed about the sale via prompt (upper left) with information about items name and discount.
Full changelog:
Added Light System Trailer (described above).
Leaderboards Season 3 started.
Added Store Sales (described above).
Added Worker's Experience (described above).
Retraining Workers is no longer random. When selecting the Retrain option, a specializations list will appear. Each specialization has a different price - the more complex the machine, the higher the price. If the worker was on a higher Tier than the 1st one, he/she will lose the percentage of performance equal to one Tier.
Added option to rent machines. The daily cost of renting is equal to the 1/25 of the machine's current price. To return the machine, the player must sell it.
Added possibility to order drill services on random spots via Laptop.
