Materials Update
The revamped mining experience has just gone live! This comes with major overhauls to the core mining systems, including:
Every material is now of a pre-defined list with color codes, making it easier to differentiate between materials. These changes allow easier development of future materials, and many more materials and material types will be coming soon.
Through the updated UI, materials are now intuitively routed between buildings. This gives a clearer picture of how the different materials are being moved through a base.
How the parts are handled and saved on the back end have been reworked for performance reasons. This mainly impacts the builder when there are hundreds of possible part locations to install parts into, as seen in the new title screen!
Thank you for your patience as we focused on rebuilding the mining foundation of LithoBreak. Many more changes will be coming soon to build off this new foundation, including a revamped part production coming to the powder printer. Later we will be extending the mining experience to include new types of materials like metals and fluids.
We hope you enjoy this update!
