Hey everyone! I have been working hard to make Galactic Mining Corp even greater! Thanks to your amazing feedback and suggestions I have added another set of fixes and additions.
Here is whats in this patch...
- Added a second control method. Several users with hand related injuries/problems have stated that extended play causes them discomfort. I want to do everything I can to make Galactic Mining Corp fun for everyone. Now you can switch to "Auto drill" mode in the options menu. This will make the drill automatically follow the mouse, when the left mouse button is held down you will stop until you release the button.
- Crit strike has had a make over. Hitting a crit will now cause damage to some surrounding tiles in front of your drill. A crit strike will cause (base drill damage + crit damage) to the tile being drilled and crit damage to surrounding tiles. This affects tiles, crates and chests!
- You can now hit crit strikes on chests and crates.
- Crit stike chance increased by 30%. You will see many more of them. I also increased the size of the crit strike visual effect.
- New Tooltip added . You can now mouse over tiles and items in the end of mission screen to see the names of the tiles and items.
- A large amount of optimisation should reduce frame rate issues when drilling large planets with tons of powerups.
- Reduced the cost of Mighty Obelisk of Research investment site by a considerable amount.
- Fixed an issue where having to much money made your cash turn negative. Capped at 2 Billion.
- Fixed the confusing wording of the Sunset Silo. It now refers to crit damage in its description.
- Fixed several sound effects not applying the player chose SFX volume
- Fixed a strange issue causing some chests to be empty in the explore screen
- Corrected a load of spelling mistakes
- Fixed an issue where giant worm would spawn twice in same place.
Hotfix (later the same day) - Anyone who had their cash turn negative before the above patch should now be pulled back into the positive when first entering the HQ screen. Sorry to anyone who got stuck in negative for a while. I hope this is now fixed for you all.
Again I want to thank you all for the most amazing release. Its been an absolute joy speaking with you all about the game and its amazing to see how much people are enjoying the game. Thank you!!!
Happy drilling and much love
Anthony
