[INTERNAL MEMO] Upcoming company developments

Greetings, Platform Managers!

We are pleased to share that the Drill Core Inc. R’n’D Department is hard at work on a range of new technologies which seek to improve the already-stellar offering within the company, further empowering all Platform Managers to achieve continued success during their mining operations.

With this in mind, the Board of Directors would like to share some of these upcoming developments with our esteemed Managers, in the hopes that it will enable you to strategize your future operations more efficiently.



New Mining Capabilities

The R’n’D Department has managed to successfully discover and research thinner layers of indestructible resolit for the landing sites of your platform, which will result in much more varied shaft outlines. This discovery will allow Platform Managers to drill further out from the platform itself, creating wider, deeper mineshafts. This means more blocks to drill for your Miners, allowing you to fully optimize every contract for those valuable resources. Developments in this technology also mean you will be able to drill deeper on each planet - even descending past 1000m!
Please note that these layers may also host new types of aliens which our Managers have not yet encountered. We are investigating this matter and will share further information when available in a separate report from our R'n'D department.



New Departments

As our company has been growing larger and larger, leading up to 1000 reviews on our corporate Steam page, we have decided it's time to restructure and expand. We're incredibly pleased to share that several new departments will be created in Drill Core Inc. in the imminent future; you’ll be able to select one department from the pre-operational mining screen to monitor your progress and reward you for your achievements. The selected department will gain experience equal to your Division Level, and for every level that department gains, you’ll be rewarded with Technologies or Resources.
Platform Managers will only be able to select one department at a time for these rewards, but there will be no penalty for changing your selection.

These departments include:
  • Department of Unethical Innovations
  • Department of Aggressive Negotiations
  • Department of Accidental Safety
  • Department of Overly Dramatic Solutions
  • Department of Chaotic Optimization
  • Department of Excessive Wealth

We hope you’ll welcome these new departments enthusiastically, Platform Managers!

Of course, the team here at Drill Core Inc. are working on much more within their cubicles, and soon we’ll be able to share with you more information about new Turrets, Buildings, Aliens and more.
