Dwarves Mining Idle News

Our first official sale has begun! The sale will last from December 21, 2023 - January 4, 2024. Happy Holidays!

We've been very busy with the new update. Sorry about no weekend news last weekend, but it was a long weekend! I still post updates on Discord regularly. Feel free to join our Discord.



Currently, we have all the mechanics done. What's left? We have to finish up the other Archaeology sets and their rewards. This shouldn't take too much longer. On a side note, I did come across a bug with the Pump that will be fixed in the next major update.

Dwarves are helping us test the Archaeology tiles. Only dirt tiles can be an archaeology tile. The image below is me testing this out on all dirt tiles.






Hope you all have a great Christmas this weekend and be safe out there!

It's yet another weekend where it's time to tell everybody what's been going on! This past week we've been doing a lot of bug fixes and updates to help user-experience be a bit more pleasant. At the start of playing a new game, you should see mining is faster than how it was prior and less interference with Experience Gain Perk increasing Max Experience.

Before I get started, please join our Discord for quick updates, help and more!



[h2]Archaeology[/h2]
We're about to start the process of hiring an artist to create the artwork for the Archaeology update. This will take an unknown amount of time (we'll provide an actual time later) when the new artwork will be completed. In the meantime I can begin creating all the necessary mechanics and features. It's going to be a decently sized major update in the next step for our Roadmap.

[h2]Roadmap[/h2]
We're way ahead of our schedule. I'm super happy about this because I mainly thought we were going to be behind schedule. This allows us to continue to work on newer projects, knowing we're very caught up on Dwarves Mining Idle. You can expect the next few things in the Roadmap earlier than anticipated. The Surface being the biggest update.

[h2]In the meantime[/h2]
While we all wait for Roadmap Major Updates, I have plans to polish the game up more and release more regular updates that were never included in the game's idea board. I don't want to spoil anything since it'll ruin any future surprises we have planned.


After Archaeology, we're going to wait awhile, dish out bug fixes and eventually get to the newer parts of the roadmap. Now, the 'Big Drills' was a very early split decision so it might be skipped entirely as we have nothing for it currently.


Hope you all enjoy your weekend and thank you for reading and playing our game! Our Discord also includes updates on what game's we're working on, so please join up and have a look around!

After some discussions on Discord there are some changes to Dwarf Max Experience formula and how tile health scales based on Dwarf count. There will be more changes to formulas and other game features to make user experience better in the future.

[h2]General[/h2]

• Removed Main Menu Music.
  

[h2]Dwarf[/h2]

• Tile health is now only scalable when you have 20 or more Dwarves in total.
  
• Max Experience increase will no longer account for spent points in the Experience Gain perk. It will increase 2.5 + (upgradeValue + expVal).
  

[h2]Dwarven Book[/h2]

• When putting Entity Points into Experience Gain, Dwarves max experience will no longer increase by an extordinary amount to compensate for points being put into this perk. Max Experience will will increase by 0.1
• cost.
  

[h2]Workbench Dwarf Item Info Window[/h2]

• When upgrading a Dwarf in the workbench and you have the item info window opened it will now update the stats as the Dwarf's item is being upgraded.
  

[h2]New Area Tiles[/h2]
NOTE: Tile health change will work on your NEXT created area. It doesn't update tile health in already existing areas.

• Tile health will no longer scale to how many Dwarves are on a floor. It will now scale to how many Dwarves are currently participating in Mining on that floor. This prevents tile health being high when not all Dwarves are mining on a floor.
  
• Reduced Dirt and Mud max health from 1 to 0.5 with less than 20 Dwarves. It will scale back to 1 when you have 20 or more Dwarves.
  
• Reduced Stone, Coal and Copper max health from 2 to 1.1 with less than 20 Dwarves. It will scale back to 2 when you have 20 or more Dwarves.
  
• Reduced Diamond and Uranium max health from 20 to 8 with less than 20 Dwarves. It will scale back to 20 when you have 20 or more Dwarves.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an error when hovering a tile after the game finished loading.

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed enemies going to default position when they don't have a waypoint.
  
• Enemies will now always have a waypoint, if somehow they don't have any waypoints then they'll stay idle.

Please update as soon as possible!

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed when trying to reset a floor or destroy a furnace it would error due to the furnace trying to return an empty input. (when no items were added to craft)
  

Big thanks to Chipon (Max) for the bug report!
