Gold Mining Simulator News

If you want your game to run smoother, please keep reading; there'll be rewards!

We would like to invite you to test the beta version of optimization patch 1.7.0!

Our focus was mainly on:

• game performance and the number of things rendered,
  
• making game run smoothly on the RTX series,
  
• increasing the raw FPS count and keeping it stable.

We would love to know how the game runs now compared to previous versions:

Core features:
• [added] The gold distribution is now randomized on every claim (the overview below is just an example; you might have a different distribution in your game).
• [added] Additionally, each claim features a unique distribution with its own pros and cons (e.g., Old Arnold's has an even distribution while having less overall gold than Nighthawk, but Nighthawk requires lots of drilling to find rich deposits).
• [balanced] Increased drilling range for manual drilling (mostly likely you'll make 9 holes, sometimes 6, and rarely 4 - instead of the usual 1 to 4 per use).
Gold distribution per claim:
• [Old Arnold's] - even distribution, low density.
  
• [River Town] - very big clumps of moderate density.
  
• [Pine Valley] - a lot of small clumps of high density.
  
• [Nighthawk] - a few very small clumps of very high density.
Seasonal features:
• [adjusted chest locations] Quest for chests: Grab up to 22 chests placed randomly around Heines, Alaska. As a reward, you will receive a buff per chest that applies in the current season.
  
• [balanced] The value of extra gold nuggets from drilling has been slightly increased after the previous reduction.
  
• [added] The Pine Valley parcel rent price was set to $0.
  
• [removed] The Nighthawk parcel rent price has returned to its default value.
• [added] Fade into the night with the new Season #29 anthracite excavator skin (winners only!).
