Drill Core News

Greetings, Platform Managers!

As shared in last week’s company-wide memo, the Drill Core Inc. R ‘n’ D Department are hard at work on various new developments which seek to improve the efficacy of all Platform Managers, and we’d like to share some of these latest initiatives, and how they’ll impact the mine shafts you will discover during your contracts, with you today.

Larger Mineshafts

Due to recent discoveries in a new, thinner type of resolit, the R ‘n’ D Department has now been able to make alterations to the landing sites of mining platforms, allowing a greater variance in the mine shafts you’ll be able to extract valuable resources from on each planet. Not only will you notice more variety in the shape of the mines themselves, but they’ll also be far wider and deeper than previous shafts.

It’s currently estimated that mineshafts will be 3-4 times wider due to these changes, allowing Platform Managers to direct the mining of far more blocks per contract.

More Varied Mineshaft Pathways

Progression in Drill Core Inc.’s understanding of resolit will also have one more notable impact on your mining operations: mineshafts will now have much greater variety in shape, with indestructible resolit blocks creating unique pathways within the shafts themselves.
It’s highly recommended for all Platform Managers to inform your workers of these changes, as they may make returning to the Platform at night a more timely process.

Deeper Drilling Available

The R ‘n’ D Department have also been hard at work in researching new drilling techniques and technologies, and progress in this area now means that all Platform Managers will now be able to drill deeper on planets, going well beyond the previous maximum of 1000m.

This will allow for a notable increase in the excavation of valuable resources, and we look forward to seeing all Platform Managers’ reported income from contracts increasing in the imminent future!

We do hope that the transparency around these upcoming developments has a positive impact on your mining operations going forward, and will be sharing more developments regarding some new mining block discoveries with you soon.

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.
