Greetings, Platform Managers!
Following last week’s URGENT company-wide internal communications, the Board of Directors would like to share with you new discoveries regarding the terrain you’ll be facing in the recently located Jungle planets within the galaxy.
As mentioned in the previous communications, all information regarding the discovery of the new Jungle Biome is strictly confidential, and covered by Drill Core Inc. employees’ NDA.
New Jungle Biome Blocks
As with all new terrain, the Jungle Planets you’ll be sent to from next week will offer new types of regular blocks for your Miners, each with differing strength levels. This will include both regular blocks, which will vary in their strength levels and impact how long it takes to mine them, and new unique blocks that have various special properties.
Unfortunately, our researchers are not able to isolate the properties of all 11 of these new blocks, but they include the boggish Swamp Block, which absorbs all resources that fall onto it so that they only become available for collection once the block is destroyed; the Acid Block, which periodically shoots jets of acid in various directions depending on difficulty; the Swapping Block, which occasionally switches positions with blocks adjacent to it; and the Cling Block, identifiable by the giant eye that resides in the middle of it, which is pulled to other blocks within a 4-block radius, killing everything in its path.
Please plan your mining operations accordingly, Platform Managers.
New Unique Events
As with all previous planetary discoveries, the Jungle Biome offers its own Unique Events which may cause challenges for your mining operations.
There are currently 3 planetary phenomena which may occur during your time on Jungle Planets: Tropical Rainstorms, which will temporarily increase block activity, Fungal Growth, which will force all bugs to move slower for one night, and Increased Humidity, which will make all blocks harder to excavate.
These conditions will undoubtedly be challenging, but the HR Department would like to assure all employees that lives lost owing to Drill Core Inc.’s mission and profits are greatly appreciated.
This ends this particular company-wide memo.
We’ll be sharing more information with you regarding the unique lifeforms you may encounter on the new planets later this week.

With a bright vision for Drill Core Inc.’s future,
