Hey Miners,

It’s been incredible to watch you all dive into the Strategic Depth update! Your creative layouts and strategies have been truly inspiring. We've been paying close attention to your feedback during user testing, and we're excited to announce the next wave of features designed to add even more strategic layers and address some of your suggestions.

Here’s a look at what we're working on:

Introducing Camera Movement Zones!

We noticed that some players were getting stuck in a "soft lose" situation by spending all their money on moving across the map, leaving them stranded away from their miners. To fix this, we're overhauling camera movement. Instead of paying for every single move, you will now research and unlock entire zones. Once a zone is unlocked, you can move freely within its boundaries at no extra cost. Researching larger zones will be a bigger investment, but will open up vast new areas to explore and exploit. This change will make exploration more strategic and less punishing.

Background Automation is Coming!

You asked for more ways to keep your empire growing, and we're listening. We're introducing a new line of technologies that will allow specific types of autominers to continue working for you even when you're not actively playing. By investing in this new research path, you can ensure that your most valuable operations are always online, gathering resources in the background. This will make your strategic choices about which miners to specialize in even more crucial for long-term growth.

Our goal remains to make every decision a meaningful one. These upcoming changes are designed to enhance the strategic depth of exploration and automation, rewarding thoughtful planning.

We can't wait to get these new features into your hands. Keep the feedback coming, and get ready to expand your mining empires in whole new ways!

Happy Mining!
