[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
The Lunar Festival is making a return to DRG in 2023! Yuletide may have just ended, but you will get to experience this next Seasonal Event already next week. The Lunar Festival will start on Thursday, January 19th.

Some of you with grey streaks in your beards remember the Lunar Festival of 2022, but this new festival has got a fresh coat of paint (or Space Rig Decoration). Let’s go through what’s in store, shall we?

First, there is the assignment. Yes, another opportunity to put in some extra work and get compensated handsomely in return. Besides a hefty payout, you will also receive the Lunar Rabbit hat, specifically designed for this festivity.



Second, there will be Space Rig decorations. 2022 was a good year, so Management has increased the party budget and not just reused last year’s decorations. Mostly. Maybe a lantern here or there came from storage (we still have a bottom line, you know), but this event should feel fresh and new, even for last year’s attendants.



Finally, Management made another order of decorative items, this time rabbit statues. It is still being delivered by Longbeard Freight which has managed to crash their delivery into Hoxxes twice now…but that will surely not happen a third time.
In the highly unlikely scenario that it does, Management is again willing to reward double season XP for any retrieved statues. But it’s a moot point; no one would be incompetent enough to crash their delivery into the same planet three times in a row.

Keep your eyes open and your ears pricked up for more info next week, once the Moons of Hoxxes converge. Until then, Rock and Stone!

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
A couple months ago, we announced that we were partnering with PleaseFix. And the result of this partnership is finally here, the DRG PleaseFix site.

PleaseFix is a player-driven bug reporting and resolution platform. It is where you go to tell us if you see a bug (the non-Glyphid kind), and where you will also be able to see bugs reported by other players and comment on them.

Since we launched DRG into Early Access back in 2018, the game has been supported by our amazing community testers. They have helped make DRG a smooth, stable experience, and for that, we salute you! To all of you who have tested the game over the years, Rock and Stone!

We spend a lot of time collecting, verifying, and fixing bugs together with the community, but there will always be bugs. A bug-free game is a game with no players. And as you saw from our previous post, more of you are playing Deep Rock every year.

With the DRG PleaseFix site, we want to make it even easier for you to report, reproduce, and help resolve bugs. The site will also let you vote on bugs currently in the game, so we can better prioritize them.

Let’s deal with those bugs, Miners. Orders from Management.

Rock and Stone!

What can I say? The people have spoken and they love dwarves. A week and a bit after Bay 12 shared news of bumper Dwarf Fortress sales figures, Ghost Ship Games has come out and said that Deep Rock Galactic sold an impressive 2 million copies in 2022 alone. What is it with gamers, dwarves, and mining?..

[h2]Happy New Year, Miners!
[/h2]

We hope you’ve had a great 2022, and are ready for all the exciting mining opportunities this new year will bring. We took a bit of time off during the past few weeks, but now we are back again and hard at work on DRG.

With 2022 behind us, we’ve taken some time to take stock of how the game has been doing. And many of you have been asking for new numbers, given the excitement created by our last infographics two years ago. We understand you are all stakeholders in Deep Rock Galactic and want to know it is performing well - in short, we get it, you crave the KPI’s!

Here you go, Miners - as requested:

--- PATCH NOTES ---
- Fixed crash that happened when reloading the Nishanka Boltshark
- Fixed the Music Volume slider not having any effect on the ambient music in the Space Rig
- Tweaked the Mod Support fix from Patch 11 - Increased from 0.5ms to 1ms (still only when Solo in the Space Rig or when joining a player with mods) - So mods have a bit more time to download on join

--- KNOWN ISSUES ---
- Inconsistencies with O2 replenishment on Low Oxygen warning missions
- The Anniversary Year 4 Hat is missing from Wardrobe (Don’t worry we will have this fixed before Year 5)
