[h3]What's coming with Gold Mining Simulator 2? πŸ“’ [/h3]
We aim to create GMS 2 with passion and respect to all of our fans - what's the most important, the game will be based on the analyzed feedback of our playerbase. With the strong base of the already existing Gold Mining Simulator, we want to meet your expectations and add our own ideas.

[h3]What has happened so far? πŸ“… [/h3]
Since the new team joined the company at the end of 2023 and took over the project, we have switched the engine from UE4 to UE5. πŸ’₯ This took a considerable amount of time, but it was necessary, as we want to support the game for a long time and expand it with future expansions! 🎁 We've also added a new map, NPCs, sidequests, changed approach to Gold support and communication. πŸ†

[h3]Communication πŸ’¬ [/h3]
Communication with our player is the most important factor for us. We want to communicate directly and frequently, which is why we’ve hired a new Community Manager specifically for the players. There will be plenty of devlogs about the game's development as well! If you want to be a part of the game's development, give us feedback and ideas and talk to the devs directly - join our Discord.
πŸ“’ The German player base has a significant percentage share in GMS 1. We appreciate it, and from now on, all news will also be available in German! πŸ“’

An independent team is working on GMS 2, on top of the one that already supports GMS1 in smaller numbers.
Our intention is to develop GMS2, but we do not want to leave our 7-year-old community without support. Therefore, in addition to open communication about GMS2, we want to treat GMS1 players fairly and still support the game. Stay tuned. Really soooon you will see more materials!!!


We’re always open to your feedback – if you have suggestions or additional ideas you’d like to see in the game, let us know in the comments! πŸ’¬
Remember, we’ll keep you updated on our progress and any changes to the schedule. πŸ› οΈ

Waterfall Valley watertowers fix



Hey, Miners! πŸ†

Recently we discovered a bug where two water towers on Waterfall Valley would switch the input values. It caused them to stop working for some players. We refunded you the $150 000 for repairing the water towers on Waterfall Valley. Once you set them up again the problem should be gone.

The refund is one time and will work only when loading the save from main menu, so remember to save after you get your money back!


Changelog:

  • Water towers on Waterfall Valley had to be refunded and will work correctly from now on.
  • Drill indicator
  • Water in buckets is more visible
