[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Smol hotfix.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3] — PATCH NOTES —[/h3]
- Removed some unintended meteors

[h3] — KNOWN ISSUES —[/h3]
- Fixed a crash that happened quite often related to meteors (both big and smol)
- Fixed some particles that caused the game to freeze first time you (or anyone on your team) encountered them
- Fixed a bug that caused plaguehearts to be invisible for hosts and non-interactable for clients in cases where two S.M.O.L.s have plaguehearts in them.

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
We have another feature incoming for Season 03! So brace for impact.



[h2]METEOR SHOWER[/h2]
----------------------------
During any mission you play, there will be a chance for a meteor shower to perforate the caves of Hoxxes. Smaller Lithophage Meteorites will come hurtling down on you and your team, so make sure to stand clear of the impact zones. This new danger also provides a lucrative opportunity, as the meteors can contain Plaguehearts. Their size and density make it possible to break them down with your regular pickaxe. No need for special equipment.

Meteor showers will start raining down on Hoxxes with today’s patch - so get cracking, miners!

And thanks to everyone who has nominated DRG for ‘Labor of Love’ in this year's Steam Awards so far. Your support and encouragement make this labor easy to love - which is part of the reason we can't stop ourselves from letting new features creep into the game, like this meteor shower. Now, let’s all get back to work.

Rock and Stone!

With Love
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

Fine, you win - the S.M.O.L Meteor is back!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3] — PATCH NOTES —[/h3]
- Meteor Showers are being observed all over Hoxxes, even in Lithopage areas! Make sure not to stand in their path when they drop and crack them to collect Plaguehearts to progress your Season Performance and keep Mission Control happy
- Fixed the impact axe giving damage when passing through triggers such as those of the Poison Spores Fungus (You can still kill multiple of these with one axe throw, but the axe will need to come reasonably close to the fungus)
- Fixed electric crystals not electrocuting you when pickaxed
- Adjusted electric crystal resistances so that they can be destroyed with one powerattack
- Made the Impact Axes deal similar damage to electric crystals as a normal pickaxe hit
- Reverted spawn space reduction on electric crystals from last patch
- Fixed Contagious being misspelled in the MC line

[h2]It’s time to vote, Miners!
[/h2]

Nominations for the 2022 Steam Awards are open, and we would love it if you would vote for DRG in the ‘Labor of Love’ category.



Because DRG really is a labor of love for all of us here at Ghost Ship. We hope that all of you playing DRG feel that, and that definitely seems to be the case judging by the response from Season 03.

It’s been a little over two weeks since we launched Season 03, and it’s surpassed all our expectations. More of you have joined the ranks of DRG than ever before, with Season 03 setting the record for the highest number of concurrent players ever in the game. More than 46.000 of you were playing at the same time following the release of Season 03, with many hundreds of thousands of new miners joining since the Rockpox first arrived. Whether your beard is green, grey, or any color in between, we salute you. Thank you, Miners!

While all of you have been dealing with the Rockpox, we have been hard at work releasing patches and figuring out what comes next. And while we are not quite ready to talk about what the far future brings for DRG (The Rockpox is still fresh on arrival in the caves of Hoxxes), we will soon reveal the next Seasonal Event.

What will the next Seasonal Event be? Yule have to wait a bit to find out...

With Love
The Ghost Ship Crew
