Memo: Important Communication From The Board

[h3]Attention Platform Managers,[/h3]

We are thrilled to announce that Drill Core Inc’s Board of Directors have prepared an update on the state of our company!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

In this Board of Directors Message we’ll be unveiling some enhancements and features designed to keep those revenue streams flowing. Here’s what you can expect:

  • License to operate in New Biomes: Say hello to the Ice Biome, featuring unique mining rules, a fresh batch of local lifeforms, and an exclusive soundtrack to keep the excitement—and profits—high. Plus, we’re expanding the Cave Biome for even more lucrative contract offers.

  • Increased Biodiversity: Get ready for new alien types that will push your strategies—and your spending—to the limit, alongside additional turrets and buildings to maximize your defenses . Note that positive ROI is still expected.

  • Platform Customization: Guys from RnD prepared a custom system, which will allow Managers to unlock and upgrade various platforms, each offering distinct gameplay experiences and progression paths, ensuring there's always something new to invest in.

  • Events System: every biome has its own random events which threaten to lower our income! Like an eclipse, earthquakes, increased worm activity, frosts and even the northern lights.

We highly encourage you to watch the Board of Directors Message to see these exciting updates in action.

Your feedback, driven by your relentless engagement and overtime working hours, has been pivotal in shaping Drill Core, and we eagerly anticipate hearing more from you as we continue to develop and expand our corporation.

Join our Discord to share your thoughts, ideas, and, of course, to stay updated on the latest money-making developments.

Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work. Together, we will build a better galaxy, one core at a time!

Sincerely,

[h3]Drill Core Inc. Board of Directors[/h3]

Drill Core's Demo Has Been Updated!

[h3]Attention Platform Managers,[/h3]

We are proud to announce that we have updated Drill Core to version 0.24, and managers will be able to access the following fixes and features in the demo as of now:

[h3]Features[/h3]
  • The maximum depth has been increased to 1000m.
  • Miners are now digging a fire block from the side where there is no fire (if there is one).
  • The nearest miners now immediately go to the priority order, even if they are already digging a block.
  • Alternative Miners AI option added in settings. If it's on, then miners will choose one of the nearest orders, not the one with fewer workers (it's off by default).
  • Now you can order the workers you previously ordered to retreat back to work.
  • The maximum number of miners per order is three instead of four.
  • 44 new lines of the voice of announcer have been added. This is the voice of Devora Wilde, who voiced Lae'zel in Baldurs Gate 3, Tzarina Katarine in Total War: Warhammer 3 and many other great characters
  • Added 90 miner voice sounds. Added reaction to enemies, fire, orders, priority orders.
  • Added the ability to scroll windows using the W, S, arrow up, arrow down buttons.
  • Added the ability to scroll the camera when hovering the cursor to the very top/bottom of the screen.
  • The width of the Shield turret laser depends on its hp to make it easier to understand when it will be destroyed.
  • Added sound effect if the block order has been deleted.
  • New score sound effect aded.
  • A new enemy has been added. It will start appearing from a certain night.
  • Underground bugs and workers create blood particles at death.
  • You can now give priority orders to the guards not only by pressing the middle mouse button, but also by pressing the side mouse buttons.
  • Rocket launcher ability rocket does not circle around the target now.
  • 2 small Easter eggs have been added for those, who will dig to the end

[h3]Balance:[/h3]
  • The time for the monster to climb out of the crack now depends on the difficulty.
  • Rocket launcher ability rocket max speed increased x2.
  • The damage to blocks from the fire stream of the fire block now increases with the depth. I.e., the stream will destroy blocks at any depth at approximately the same speed.

[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where an incorrect amount of experience could be given at the end of the contract.
  • Fixed a bug where guards could ignore underground enemies after setting up a patrol point.
  • Fixed a bug where the Repair station button was not pressed when the camera was zoomed out.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking on the Factory resource collection button could open a building destruction window.
