Hey Miners,

The day is finally here.

The response to the new terrain types was amazing, and it confirmed that we're on the right track with our core goal: making the placement of every single miner a truly strategic choice. For the past few days, I've been working to double down on that strategic depth.

And now, that update is LIVE.

The Strategic Depth update has just been deployed and is available for you to download right now. Here’s what’s waiting for you inside:

• A Whole New Set of Miner Shapes: The classic square and cross miners now have company! A variety of new and unique shapes are available to be unlocked, turning your asteroid grid into a satisfying spatial puzzle where efficient placement is the key to maximizing your output.
• The Mega-Collector Overhaul: Collectors have received a massive overhaul. They are now significantly larger, more powerful, and a major investment. A fully-upgraded Mega-Collector can harvest a huge portion of the screen, representing a true game-changer for mid-game automation.
• Power Generators Are Online: A brand-new special structure has been added: the Power Generator. Placing one of these creates an area of influence, boosting the production of all miners and buildings within its radius. Strategic placement is critical, and powerful upgrades await in the tech tree.
• The Expanded Tech Tree: Alongside these new structures, a range of new technologies has been added to the research lab. You can now unlock new abilities and powerful passive bonuses for your operation, further rewarding smart planning and long-term investment.

My mission has always been to make every decision—from placing a tiny miner to planning your late-game layout—a meaningful and rewarding strategic choice. This update is the next big step on that journey.

I can’t wait to see the incredible layouts and powerful strategies you all come up with. Now, it's in your hands. What will you build first? Which new tech will you rush?

Jump in, explore the update, and let me know what you think!

Happy Mining!
