Version 1.0.24
This year was a blast, and we are truly thankful for every one of you who played Star Ores Inc. and shared your feedback with us. Your ideas and support keep the game evolving. A huge shoutout also goes to all the streamers who took the time to play the game with their communities.
You guys rock!
With Patch 1.0.24 we’re bringing you fresh content, improvements, and festive touches. Two new caves open up access to Amberon and Nochelith mineral fields, blueprint terminals have been expanded with clearer info and controller support, and the driller speed upgrade now shows its full bonus in seconds. We’ve also polished storage interactions, added new settings like FOV adjustment and autorun, and improved decoration balancing.
On top of that, Erfi and B.O.B.I are now showing off their Christmas hats during the holiday season, Twitch integration introduces viewer interactions, and a number of bugs have been fixed.
