Changes Leaving Early Access as 1.0.0. Notes It's the one year anniversary of the initial (and ROUGH) release on Steam. I want to thank everyone for your love and support during the early stages of development of Space Miner - Idle Adventures. There are certainly plans to do more, but for now I'm releasing this as 1.0.0 and removing from Early Access. As life allows, more content and features will be added. Thanks again and as always, be excellent to each other.

Fixes Fix Outposts adding to cargo when cargo limit exceeded Potential fix for potential issue with some gem outpost not properly generating gems Potential fix for enemy ships drifting off-screen Changes The notification history log is now wiped at game load if over 100kb so it doesn't cause a lag issue

[ 2024-08-14 19:45:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

Fixes Fixed calculation precision for offline time over ~2 weeks. Fixed (hopefully) the edge case where players couldn't fly the full extent of the playfield. Changes Changed the In-Game Guide / How to Play, from a long wall of text, to a useable segmented guide. Removed unused area from The Den. Additions At the request of some achievement hunters out there, a purchasable "MiniGame AutoPlayer" that will play Rock-Paper-Scissors for you in the background. Plays once every 10 seconds. The results are output to the main notification bar, and are viewable in the notification history. You can check the Stats page to verify the increases.

Fixes Fixed Craft Ready/Disabled color changes for Click-Factory crafting buttons Changes Massive performance improvement in the Gold Shop. Buying large quantities of upgrades should no longer melt your PC As such, larger quantities are available for purchase (if you can afford them) Changed the Graphics Rendering engine to openGL3. Resolves issues related to background and minimized play and many other aspects This will also provide support to players on older hardware without requiring the use of alternative launch selections / launch options.

Fixes Fixed Reputation reset to remove World Ender asteroid if a new Reputation run is started during a challenge. Fixed Reputation Rebuild button not clickable once Cooldown timer completes while in Reputation menu Changes Changed Mining Boost Power-Up spawning to prevent occurring during World Ender challenge events. Changed to prevent using Mining Boosts from cargo while in a challenge. Changed to prevent activation of Mining Boost Power-Up if starting a challenge just after a power-up has spawned and collecting power-up. NOTE The experimental branch will have the main graphics rendering engine changed to openGL3 by default for testing by those who wish to engage. In testing performed so far, this greatly improves performance when running the game in the background / minimized. This will also give initial support to players on older hardware without requiring the use of alternative launch selections / launch options.

Each WE asteroid destroyed increases your mining/damage levels for the Player Ship, Mining Drones and Laser Mining Turrets. Challenge can't be started if a mining boost is currently in use (where's the fun in that?). Achievements Added new Achievements for the World Ending Asteroids Challenge.

Fixes Fixed a bug with the AutoMiner reward for 10 asteroids mined. Potential fix to bug with Mining Drones gathering amount.

Translations have started but are FAR from complete. Fall back for missing translations is English. If you see an error with a translation, or would like to assist with the translations, you're more than welcome to reach out. Probably easiest on our Discord. NOTES There's been a lot of work under the hood to add the translation framework and first steps tutorial. If you encounter any issues, please let me know so I can resolve them. As always, recommendations and suggestions are welcome. The information in the first steps tutorial is also contained within the "How To Play" Guide, accessible from the Main Menu. I've started a Fandom Wiki. To be updated as time allows.
