Season 8 of Leaderboards play has arrived!

Hello Miners!

We're starting off another Season of Leaderboards play, the 8th one so far!

We're keeping the 28 day season cycle which we tried out last month, making 28th May the day when we will count all of the precious gold you'll have gathered by then. The top 10 miners will be awarded a rare Shaker skin (see below).



We are also listening to your feedback regarding the high entry point of the Leaderboards mode. We are open to your suggestions on how to level the (mining) field so that getting awarded for a Season's work isn't something only the most hardcore of players are allowed to accomplish.

    FEATURES:
  • Start of season 8

  • Small Trailer - Fast Travel - Rivertown - After moving, the ST is stuck in the ground and cannot be attached

  • S-T Sluicebox - Texture of the bucket in the third slot, even though the slot is empty
  • If the trailer is connected to the pickup truck, there is no access to car jacks
