Hello everyone from Mad Miner's first major update!

Thank you for playing Mad Miner or adding it to your wishlist. This interest greatly influences my motivation to develop Mad Miner. It makes me very happy to see people interested in my game. I hope Mad Miner is a game that deserves your playing time. Without further ado, I would like to explain step by step what awaits you in this big update. If you're ready, sit back, fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight!

Major Updates:

• Our mines are now accompanied by water! For this reason, a third vital factor comes into play and we start to feel thirsty. Thanks to water, we produce water pots, water our crops, fish and make our soils to muddy.
• A total of 20 new buildings, 5 new buildings in each mine, are being added to our mines. These structures sometimes reward us, sometimes make us think, and sometimes just sit there. But it greatly increases our sense of discovery!
• With the new inventory layout, we can access our items under categories. In this way, we stop getting lost among hundreds of items.
• We will now be able to produce our items with a single click! You remember that we need to place three different materials to craft items on the crafting table. Instead of sending those materials to the production table one by one, they will be placed automatically when you click on the item you want to produce with the "right mouse button". This way you won't have to memorize the recipes!
• From now on, your lives will come into play when you run out of any vital factor (thirsty, lack of oxygen or hunger). In this way, you will avoid dying suddenly, and if you want, you will be able to delay it further thanks to the "health increase" development.
• Mad Miner's food is taking a radical change for the first time. While before you could not consume food other than canned foods, now you will be able to drink soups. For this reason, while soups will be your meals that you consume at an earlier time, canned foods will be a more difficult to produce and more filling meal option. In addition, the canning machine for canned food should produce empty cans; For soups, you must produce empty plates at the ingredient table.
• I told you that a new character would join us. Gamblers now accompany us in the deserts. Thanks to this NPC, we will be able to spin a wheel with four different prizes at the same time in exchange for 1 shiny gold bar. The rewards he gives are not bad!

And I list the others in short bullet points:

• Bat.
• Seed Production Table.
• Fishing Rods and Fisherman's Table.
