[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
The Lunar Festival officially starts today! There is plenty to enjoy in this first (but definitely not last) Seasonal Event of 2023. As the moons of Hoxxes converge once again, here is the list of what you can experience:

• The Lunar Festival Assignment - a celebratory opportunity to put in some extra hours for the company - and to get handsomely rewarded in the process.
  
• The Lunar Rabbit hat - Rewarded for completing said assignment.
  
• A decorated Space Rig for you to enjoy with your team members while wearing said hat
  
• An opportunity for Double Season XP awarded when you find and deposit decorative rabbit statues during missions. Yes, the Longbeard freighter carrying the shipment crashed onto Hoxxes…again. Management has some questions for whoever signed the exclusivity agreement with Longbeard Freight.
  
• And as has become customary, you will of course get last year’s Lunar Festival hat when you log in during this event.
  

Enjoy, Miners. The Lunar Festival ends February 2nd, so get to it. Management is confident that you and your fellow team membersfind plenty of workjoyment in all that this event has to offer.

Rock and Stone!

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

This patch contains a fix to a delay on Gunner’s shield throwing abilities and inconsistencies with O2 replenishment when within the range of more than one oxygen source. Additionally, the Anniversary Year 4 Hat is back!

[h2]Hello Miners,

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,

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!


With Love
