Attention Platform Managers,
We are proud to announce that we have updated Drill Core to version 0.24, and managers will be able to access the following fixes and features in the demo as of now:
Changelog:
Features:
Changes in AI logic:
- Miners will now dig the Flaming block from the safe side, if possible.
- By receiving Priority Order, 3 closest miners will stop any other job and go to dig out the priority one.
- Maximum amount of miners per order is now limited to 3.
- New alternative AI for miners added as optional setting. It's an experiment from our side that can be turned it via Settings -> Gameplay -> Set Alternative Miner AI as enabled. With it miners will prioritize closest orders and will distribute less throughout the whole shaft. To send them to other part of the mine, you'll now have to get full use of priority orders.
- You can now order workers to go back to work after retreat
Other cool features:
- The maximum depth has been increased to 1000m.
- 2 Easter eggs have been added.
- 44 new lines of the voice of announcer have been added. This is the voice of Devora Wilde, who voiced Lae'zel in Baldurs Gate 3, Tzarina Katarine in Total War: Warhammer 3 and many other great characters.
- Added 90 miner voice sounds. Added reaction to enemies, fire, orders, priority orders.
- Added the ability to scroll windows using the W, S, arrow up, arrow down buttons.
- Added the ability to scroll the camera when hovering the cursor to the very top/bottom of the screen.
- The width of the Shield turret laser depends on its hp to make it easier to understand when it will be destroyed.
- Added sound effect if the block order has been deleted.
- New score sound effect added.
- A new enemy has been added. It will start appearing from a certain night.
- Underground bugs and workers create blood particles at death.
- You can now give priority orders to the guards not only by pressing the middle mouse button, but also by pressing the side mouse buttons.
- Rocket launcher ability rocket does not circle around the target now.
Balance:
- The time for the monster to climb out of the crack now depends on the difficulty.
- Rocket launcher ability rocket max speed increased x2.
- The damage to blocks from the fire stream of the fire block now increases with the depth. I.e., the stream will destroy blocks at any depth at approximately the same speed.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where an incorrect amount of experience could be given at the end of the contract.
- Fixed a bug where guards could ignore underground enemies after setting up a patrol point.
- Fixed a bug where the Repair station button was not pressed when the camera was zoomed out.
- Fixed a bug where clicking on the Factory resource collection button could open a building destruction window.
- Fixed a bug where ore could not fall out of a Swarmlite bug.
