Update 1: The Grave Digger
This update will feature both permanent and limited time content. During this seasonal event, the frontier will have some spooky changes! Creepy night sky, graves to rob and a new variant zombie monster. The best stuff, however, is the totally new and permanent features.
New Tools
A Shovel
Two-handed tool to dig from the muddy piles (and graves) on the ground.
A Goldpan
Wiggle the gold pan around the spots in the water to spawn some loot! This tool can be repurposed as a defensive item to block some nasty plasma shrimp projectiles.
Errands
On the map stand, players can now find changing daily errands to run. You can pick three errands at the same time and by completing them, you'll be rewarded with some extra $$$.
First issue of the graphic novel
I'm sure you've heard about Clayton Lee Jackson the third by now. You'll find the first collectible pieces of graphic novel laying around, which will reveal you something about the world you're digging in.
Special encounters
Looks like some Shrimps you swatted in your previous runs, have risen back to life too to celebrate halloween.
Oh, and Shelley, the big mama nautiloid is hoping to meet you in the mines. She's getting hungry and lonely.
Hexabody physics and fire
These two are experimental features. You can set things on fire, and you can jump and hang from the ledges. The next update will include biome 3, in which the climbing and jumping will become important. For now, just have fun with it.
Public matchmaking
Find friends to play with via the matchmaking system in game. You can also try to find players on our discord channel.
New loots and wearables
More to mine, more to wear! What more do you need to know? Oh right, the pumpkin head will be only available during the halloween season.
