The "No more lost" Update
[h2]Lost in the cave[/h2][p]It was pretty easy to get lost in the cave before. There's no map or compass or anything to help with navigation. So, we added these new Arrow Sign Posts as a cheap default unlock. You can also write text on them[/p][p]![]()
[/p][h2]Better Rapid Auto-Miner[/h2][p]The Rapid Auto-Miner was about twice as fast as the regular Auto-Miner, but it has a variable speed, so it's hard to tell. Sometimes it's slower, but usually it was faster. However, it seemed really underpowered.[/p][p]It's been updated to produce ore faster, and the Drill Bit now lasts 10 minutes instead of 7.5[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]We want to improve this more in the future. We'll make it easier to tell how much time is remaining, and also add new Drill Bit types (as seen above) [/p][p][/p][h2]Higher FPS[/h2][p]The FPS was already pretty good IMO, given you can have 1000+ real physics objectives active at a time. But I found some more optimizations I could do with the conveyor belt logic. Ideally, everything should function the exact same as they did previously, but FPS might be slightly higher with very large factories.[/p][p]Please let me know if you notice any differences in fps or see any weird new physics behaviors!
This update also includes a VSync option, so if you had weird fps issues before, try turning VSync on or off.[/p][p][/p][h2]Key binds and Translations and Achievements[/h2][p]These are some of the most asked about things. I want to add key binds very soon.[/p][p]Language translations will come less-soon, but still "soon". I'm not sure exactly when, but I know they're very important. Currently the game is only in English.[/p][p]We also want to add Steam Achievements at some point. Probably as part of a future major update.[/p][p][/p][h2]Bigger Cave[/h2][p]Personally, I enjoy the puzzle aspect of having to build in the limited space. But I understand that's not for everyone. Some people just want to build unrestricted! So, we'll probably be adding buyable TNT that you can use to blow up some of the stalactites / stalagmites / other rocks around the cave to free up some space for your factory.[/p][p]This will become even more important as we add more new machines in future updates. We might also add more maps in the future, but I think that's a long ways away.[/p][p][/p][h2]Version 0.1.0.3 released: [/h2]![]()
[/p][p]Thanks for playing MineMogul! We look forward to all your feedback in the Steam Discussions and Discord.[/p]
