Hi Miners,

This patch includes fixes for both the Hold-E-pickup feature and the missing Machine Event rewards on Mission End. Apart from actual bug and crash fixes, you'll also find a good number of balance tweaks - as always these are based both on metrics and your continued feedback. Read the complete change list below.

Developer notes
It’s well known that Beards and big Armors are not a happy mix. While we have fixed the clipping issues, the issue with hidden beards in most armors for Gunner and Driller is even more pronounced. Don’t fret, we will fix this and make sure there are heavy armor options which allows you to showcase your magnificent beards. Making this will take a bit of time, so don’t expect it to be part of a hot fix.

Hi Miners,

Hotfix 3 just released and will fix quite a few issues. See change list below for details.

Developer Notes:

• Machine Events are currently NOT rewarding players without Blank Matrix Cores: This is more a missing feature than a bug, so it will take a bit more time before a solution is implemented. The plan is to have the Machine Event appear as a Completed Objective and award you on the Mission End screen.
  
• The "Hold-E to pick-up items" feature is hotly debated - thanks for all the feedback! This feature is something we always wanted in the game to create immersion and the feeling of working in the mines, so you are not just sprinting through the scenery. Changes like this are always tricky post-release. The current implementation is a first-pass and there are several ways it can be improved. The verdict is still out on this one, but as always, we want to test it with all of you and then get a feeling of the impact before we react.
