HOTFIXES/CHANGES SINCE PATCH---------------------------------------
HOTFIX - A few people may have been able to get INFINITE DRILL POWER due to an exploit in this patch! This has now been addressed.
HOTFIX - An issue was identified where nano drills were causing items to level up incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
HOTFIX 28.07.21 - A few people caught a bug in which they could not get the final item upgrade achievement (with item upgrade numbers exceeding total in game). This has now been addressed. Pressing the "Sync" button in the achievements screen of the office should provide the missing achievement. This only affected a handful of people caught between the major patch release and the hot fix later that day and only those who used nano drills in this short period of time.
HOTFIX 30.07.21 - Monster infestations have been reduced slightly across all infested locations.
HOTFIX 06.08.21 - Monster infestations have been reduced again to a more manageable level. I very much appreciate the feedback I have received about these.
HOTFIX 06.08.21 - For those who caught the item level bug. I have added a fix as best I could to help your save file. If you go to the office/achievement screen and press the sync button it should now return your item levels to the correct max and it SHOULD pop the Item completion badge and perk. You will also be awarded a load of drill tokens as this issue would have meant you could not get them all. Please let me know if this helps you. Its very difficult to test this as the issue was such a small window of time and didn't affect many people. I wanted to fix this as I feel those who were affected deserve better and I made a mistake. I hope this will fix the issue for those that were affected and I hope you are enjoying Galactic Mining Corp

This is quite a large update and I hope you find the changes and additions even more fun. I am so thankful for all the amazing support I have received for the game and I hope many of you will continue to enjoy the game long into the future.
Happy drilling and much love
Anthony
