First off, we want to thank you for all your support so far! We're very happy to see people enjoy our game, and can't wait to show you more :)We've read through your feedback and reviews, and this update tackles the most requested changes! Here's everything we changed:Turn abilities on and offEvery automatic ability (dynamite, drones, pickaxes, worms, shockwave...) can now be switched off and back on whenever you want.Right-click an ability in the skill tree to toggle it - on controller, press A/X on an owned node.On the HUD, right-click an ability's icon before you start drilling.Disabled abilities grey out and stop firing until you turn them back on; the game remembers your choices. WorldLate layers are tougher: layer health multipliers for layers 7-11 raised from 50/70/70/80/80 to 75/120/140/180/200. Layers 1-6 unchanged. OverdriveYou now start every run with a full Overdrive tank - burst away from the very first block.Overfuel and Leftovers now go up to 20 levels each - they get expensive fast, so maxing them is a true late-game goal. Abilities hit harder when you unlock themEvery mid- and late-game ability now deals way more damage the moment you buy it: Drill Drones one-shot the upper layers of your current density, and Bullet Worms, Aftershocks, Shrapnels, Spinning Pickaxe, Bouncing Ball, Boomerang Pickaxe and Drill Missiles all got big baseline damage boosts.Last Ditch Effort now kicks in at 20% fuel instead of 5%.Controller improvementsNew: controller rumble (experimental) - feel every block break, explosion and Molenir strike. Works on Steam Deck too.Claiming a mission now jumps focus to the next completed one - claim a whole stack with repeated presses.The cursor stays hidden while you play on a controller.

Thanks for the great feedback on cinema mode, I'm glad you guys loved it :)!Smaller-ish patch for you guys today, focusing on some bugs and QoL changes. All upgrades now calculate requirements from your effective amount of ships (meaning superships values are now correctly calculated and they are not just 1 ship anymore)Pirates were leaving infinitely drawn ship trails that never disappeared if you had max speed, this is now fixedVarious localization fixes such as station titles and consistency between fleet command and engineering panelRank ups now show the number of the rankDrone Refinery now has a slider in the Refinery Command letting you split your ore/metal productionMasteryGame now calculates how many points you should have on game load and refunds any missing onesThere were situations where if you invested in upgrades I removed/split/moved those points would be goneGame correctly saves and loads all upgradesEnjoy! Let me know what you think on the forums or on Discord. Until next time, SEE YOU IN SPACE, CAPTAINS!

Hello, Merchants!With this update, we are making major changes to Mad Merchant’s progression and economy. Our goal is to give every journey a clearer purpose and make production, exploration, and preparation more important throughout the game.OBJECTIVE-BASED PROGRESSIONProgression is now built around specific goals. Growing your train is no longer only about earning money. You will need to:Produce the right itemsComplete contractsIncrease your levelDiscover new cities...to continue expanding your operation.LEVEL IS NOW THE FOUNDATION OF PROGRESSIONPlayer Level is no longer mainly used for module upgrades.It is now the primary source of overall progression and plays a central role in:Unlocking new citiesAdvancing through the gameExploration is therefore more important than before. Discovering new cities will unlock:New contractsNew opportunitiesNew progression goalsMODULES NOW REQUIRE ITEMSModules can no longer be purchased with money alone.Each module now requires:A monetary costSpecific crafted itemsTo expand your train, you will first need to build the necessary production chain and manufacture the required materials.This connects module progression directly to production and gives every new module a clear objective.THE SHOP IS NOW SELL-ONLYBuying items directly from the Shop made it possible to skip important parts of the production chain and had a major impact on the game's economy.Items can no longer be purchased from city Shops.Shops are now focused entirely on selling the goods you produce during your journeys.Materials required for modules and advanced production must be created through your own production network.CITY-BASED CONTRACTSContracts have been redesigned around individual cities.Each city will offer its own contracts, giving you more reasons to:Visit different settlementsAdjust your production plans according to local objectivesContracts will refresh daily, providing new goals and rewards as you continue your journey.THREE TURRET FIRING MODESTurret...
I really wanted to launch with multiplayer but I wasnt able to get to it. I really hope you enjoy raising and battling fish online and against friends. You will need to grow a fish to an appropriate age and then add them to your online roster. Once added you can fight friends or for control of the leader boards. I also added bug fixes to the sampler and some experiments!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/d6827caee1d81eaed5337aacebd0ac1b1aa4772a.png Adventures in Idle Champions have always offered up to three Variants to test your mettle... until now! Today, we're introducing Mastery Variants, a new fourth Variant tier available now for the first adventures of nearly every campaign. These variants are not for the faint of heart (or low ilevels). Expect daunting restrictions, objectives beginning at area 1,425, and even tougher Patron versions. Completing them is the ultimate test of formation mastery and your path to fantastic new play rewards! With Mastery Comes Rewards: Mastery Variants introduce Medallions, new currencies earned by completing these difficult Variants. Mastery Medallions can be used to unlock Legendary Feats in the new Mastery Shop, and Patron Mastery Medallions unlock Chromatic Skins in the Patron Shops. Choose Carefully! You won't be able to earn every reward released today from the first batch of Mastery Variants. New Mastery Variants will arrive every month at the end of each event, bringing additional Medallions to earn. Every three months, we'll expand the Mastery and Patron Shops with new Legendary Feats and Chromatic Skins, giving you even more rewards to collect through play! Legendary Feats: Spend Mastery Medallions to unlock powerful Legendary Feats in the new Mastery Shop tab! Each Champion can equip one Legendary Feat in its own dedicated feat slot, and Legendary Feats can be upgraded with Scales of Tiamat to increase their power. Four Legendary Feats are available today: Drizzt, Wulfgar, and Pwent have Legendary Feats unlockable through gameplay using Mastery Medallions. Lae'zel's Legendary Feat is included in a new DLC Pack, along with 6 DPS Pigments. Chromatic Skins: Complete Patron Mastery Variants to earn Patron Mastery Medallions, then spend them on Chromatic Skins in Patron Shops.Today, Jarlaxle & Hew Maan each receive a new Chromatic Skin, with five dragon-inspired color variants based on the Chromat...

First off, thank you all for the amazing reception the game has had in the first 24 hours, it really means a lot to me. However, the mine yearns for more blasting, so let's get straight to the point!I've added a new alternate game mode: the Core Rift. Featuring arcade-style gameplay, once you reach max prestige, you can spend 500k Gold to enter the Core Rift.The Fuse: Your fuse acts as both your ammo and health bar. Throwing bombs spends fuse and it continually drains over time, but destroying blocks refills it. If the fuse runs out, the run ends.Endless Waves: The board auto-refills continuously. Each new wave scales in difficulty with tougher, higher-value ore.Score Multipliers: Maintaining a fast destruction rate increases your score multiplier. Easing off drops the multiplier.Auto-Loot: All loot auto-collects during rift runs so you can focus purely on placement and speed.Gold Sink Modifiers: Before starting a run, you can spend gold on run modifiers, such as increased fuse length, richer ore density, or the Volatile Rift modifier for a 3x score multiplier.New Achievements5 new achievements have been added, tied directly to Core Rift progression.Other ChangesThe skill tree nodes "Apex" and "No Diet" have 1 additional rank.FragMiner v1.2 is already live, so you can dive into the chaotic Core Rift immediately! Hope you enjoy it... now blast away!

Hello everyone,Here are the main highlights of this update: In the expedition assignment interface, after providing equipment to an adventure cat, the original equipment will now be returned to inventory (requires completing the dispatch). Added a display of current inventory quantity on item icons in the crafting interface. When trading at the Supplier Shop / Cat Shrine / Guild, the item icon display will now show current inventory. Increased the quantity of items gathered in dungeon floors 11–50. Increased the tendency for customers to choose items from shelves — further rule optimizations will continue in future updates. Fixed an issue where customers would trigger Lily Cat's auto-trade while selecting suggested equipment. Added a description in the employee details interface when an employee's abilities do not meet the crafting requirements.If you encounter any issues during the game, please feel free to join our discord channel to share your experience and suggestions.
Hey everyone! Update v1.2.1 is now available, bringing major improvements to the save system and the way game data is stored. This update refactors several save data formats to reduce save file sizes, shorten serialization times, improve performance, and make saving more reliable. Save System Improvements Added protection against overlapping save operations Implemented comprehensive error handling for the save process Refactored several save data structures for improved efficiency Updated sales tracking with lifetime statistics and seven-day sales history retention Converted machine slot history to a more efficient array-based format Added position and rotation rounding to reduce save file sizes Optimized data comparisons and storage for better performance Removed redundant save operations and duplicate box saves Added additional debug logging for save operations Save Compatibility Existing save files will automatically migrate to the new data formats without affecting your progress. Both older saves and newly created saves are fully supported. These changes should result in smaller save files, faster serialization, fewer unnecessary save operations, and improved long-term stability.
