Patch Notes - S04.06


[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Turns out the Corruptor caused late-joining dwarves to see minerals and terrain that were no more - It is now back to only corrupting Hoxxes.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3]--- PATCH NOTES ---[/h3]
- Fixed a bug that caused minerals and carved terrain to become desynced between host and late- joining clients, if the corruptor was present in the level.
- Fixed a bug where the Stingtail would sometimes fling players way too high
- Fixed a bug that caused the season countdown timer to be visible if the game is offline/lost connection to the backend

Patch Notes - S04.05


[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Mission Control has been made aware of a short-circuit in the Drop Pod targeting computer, and it seems that some dwarves were using this glitch to clock out a little early. R&D has since fixed the problem, so all dwarves can enjoy the long walk home at the end of each shift.

Besides that, several issues have been fixed with the summer event and fixing a bug that gave double mission payouts in certain situations. Mission Control is not made of credits...

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3]--- PATCH NOTES ---[/h3]
- Fixed a crash that happened when leaving/disbanding team mid-steel drum concert
- Reduced the size of the terrain scanner model of the Pool Float
- Removed the extra pool float icon in the mission end screen
- Added eyebrows inside the industrial visor headwear
- Fixed a bug that caused the Shark hat to get the wrong material in some cases
- Fixed the Shark hat's teeth so they now don’t clip through all the eyebrows - and when they do it looks better
- Fixed French translation of the ‘launch bay/Baie de lancement’ text in the memorial hall.
- Re-fixed bug that made platform-sealed holes register as generated rooms, causing drops to land in unintended places and in some cases trigger the Escape Pod failsafe position.
- Fixed a bug that caused mission resources and XP to be granted double (stacking on top of the 2X Pool Float bonus) in some cases

See you for some late summer activities in the mines of Hoxxes!

Space Beach Party Preview


[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
Great news! Management has signed off on an increase in the celebratory budget, and is happy to announce that the Space Beach Party will make its way to the Space Rig on August 3rd, 1 PM CEST (Ending August 17th, 1 PM CEST).

Get ready for some late summer shenanigans, and put on your most festive garments for this sunniest of celebrations. Here is what you can expect:


[h2]The Hoxxes Summer Cruise
[/h2]
It is cold out here in space, so Management has provided you with work-related activities sure to get you sweating. Complete this special assignment for some warming rewards, including a special hat - The Great White Delight! Don’t miss this jaws-ome addition to your wardrobe, Miners. So remember to fin-ish this assignment before the event ends.


[h2]More Hats
[/h2]
Management also found some extra stock of last year’s hats, and have decided to award them through completion of the Last Year’s Fashion assignment. In case you forgot those exquisite designs, check last year’s post.


[h2]Pool Floats
[/h2]
While an actual pool was WAY outside of budget, Management ordered a shipment of pool floats so you can get the feeling of being by the poolside - without an actual pool, of course. The shipment is currently en route, being delivered by…

Longbeard Freight…

New plan, Miners! Once Longbeard Freight inevitably crashes the shipment into Hoxxes, Management will pay out double Performance Points upon retrieval of pool floats during a mission. Let’s turn those lemons into lemonade!


[h2]Space Rig Dressing
[/h2]
Enjoy the breezy, coastline feel provided by the Space Rig ambient sound system while throwing back a cold brew at the bar. And follow it up with a jam session on the company-provided steel drum or a water balloon fight. Why, it’s almost like a day at the beach.


Enjoy your workcation, Miners. You have earned it.

Rock and Stone!


With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
