Try out Collectible Stories, New Skins, and New Repairs before the release.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1346397630

Travel around the map in search of amazing tales. With Collectible Stories you'll learn more about the world of Gold Rush: The Game. There's also a ridi-cow-lously nice reward for such effort.
More breakable parts = more challenges on your way to becoming the richest miner in Alaska. The threat is even more real, as from now on it is possible to see a "Game Over" screen, when you fail to pay your debts.
But that's not everything! See changelog below for more info.

Hi Prospectors!

We have hot fix today.

Changelog:
* Reject workers works now as intended
* Fixed bug with hoses and power cables


Let's get digging!

Hey everyone!

There's a new Patch (1.4.3.9322), which fixes some of the submitted issues.

Changelog:

• Filling the Hog Pan with the bucket now counts as processed soil at the end of the day.
  
• Workers are no longer assigned to the previous machine after retraining.
  
• Workers salaries are now dependent on the machine they're using.
  
• Added possibility to hire a Mechanic.
  
• Added possibility to retrain Worker.
  
• Fixed Shovel's digging loop bug.
  
• UI: Workers fixes.
  
• 1$ Dollar Mode: Upgrading Workers now cost 1$

Let's get digging!

With Update 1.4.3.9250, we bring optimization upgrade and improve two of the existing features:

• Repairs
  
• Workers system

Full changelog below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O6hAC_ITL4

You can experience an optimization improvement and frame rate increase as we have moved to Unity 2018.1.
As a result, the update is quite large, so you might need to download 8GB of data.



Keep an eye on your Washplant, as from now on, it can break when least expected. This can cause your gold mining operation to stop, and your resources to deplete.
Repairs can be enabled/disabled via game's settings.




Hire specialized workers to improve the performance of particular machines. Create a team of workers specializing in Vehicles or Washplant and benefit from a special boost!

Reworked Workers

• Limited amount of workers per parcel to 10
  
• Workers no longer generate passive income
  
• Workers now give boosts to different activities

• Added Bulk Upgrades boosts - if a player has more than 5 Workers specializing in either Vehicles or Wash Plant System, those Workers receive a special boost:
  - Vehicles (all): -20% Vehicle fuel usage

Open Beta of the upcoming Update is here!
Try out Repairs Part 2 and Reworked Workers before the release!

Repairs Part 2. We have improved one of the well-acclaimed features: Failures and Repairs. From now on, you'll need to keep an eye not only on the durability of Vehicles but also your Washplant. Who said that the life of a chief mechanic is easy?
Reworked Workers. If the size of your gold mining operation becomes too great to handle, then maybe it's time to expand your business and hire some workers? Now that they have been completely reworked, you can take advantage of their unique specializations and focus on the performance of particular machines.

Open Beta branch is a voluntary option and it may not reflect the quality and content of actual Update 1.4.3.

Mayday, mayday…
This is TylerCanadian, no. 512476. I’ve lost all sorts of communication with the tower. I need immediate help. My chopper is falling down. The engine stopped working. I’m at twelve hundred meters right now and keep falling down. I repeat, I’m falling down. I’ll land on the nearest lake. It should be big enough to put the machine safely on the ground.

Do we have travelers here, who know where the above-mentioned lake is?
Soon you'll have additional dozens of reasons to discover places like this!
