Eternamine 2.2 is here!

Hey everyone!

After a summer of (trying to) relax, update 2.2 is finally ready for release. This update has added & changed the following things:

Content

[h2]Eternal mine[/h2]
Contrary to its name, the Eternal rock was seemingly shattered by a powerful miner. In an attempt to replace it, the mine master started desperately searching for new mines, and he was not disappointed with his findings.

The Eternal mine is a new, fully idle mine that can be upgraded in various ways. It costs 1 Ancient shard to unlock (miners who had the Eternal rock will have it unlocked automatically). The mine can be upgraded to yield more tokens, extract more blocks, find more items and even work offline.

[h2]New items[/h2]
4 New items have been added.
  • Sticky bomb - Acts the same as a bomb but sticks to surfaces it touches
  • Sticky dynamite - Acts the same as a dynamite but sticks to surfaces it touches

  • Asteroid struck mine (infection event)
  • Ancient aura - Artifacts have an increased spawn rate

PvE combat has been reworked slightly.
  • Enemies will now take more random routes when seeking you out. All dungeons & dark mines now have 1 enemy which can dash towards you, so be careful!
