Update 1.2.0 is finally here!

Hey dieselminers!

Great news! New Game+ is finally available in the main version of the game!

So, what does Update 1.2.0 include?

New Game+ features

New Game+ is aimed to make Ad Fundum endlessly replayable, so it includes: [olist]

Endless restarts. After completing New Game+, you can start again in New Game++ and New Game +3 and so on. There is no limit to how many times you can restart, and the game adjusts tile hardness, ore prices and boss damage to keep up with your progress. Moreover, starting from New Game++, ore prices will randomly change providing a new challenge for you - to find ores that will yield maximum profits. Of course, theoretically, at some point beyond NG+50, numbers in the game might break... but no one can reach that far, right?

Infinite upgrades. In New Game+, you will unlock infinite upgrades for your mech. The mining speed, fuel regeneration rate, anti-gravity effect duration, and 9 other parameters of your mech can all be upgraded indefinitely. These upgrades will allow you to become the ultimate mining god!

New special upgrades. Also, in New Game+, you can discover new special upgrades with game-changing (or even game-breaking) effects.

New achievements. New Game+ comes with several new achievements, some of which require skill to unlock. Sorry, folks with 100% achievements, but you can't rest on your laurels! [/olist]

Improvements since Open Beta

Compared to 1.2.0.beta.6, Update 1.2.0 includes the following improvements:

Fixed a bug with the Cargo Cleanse protocol working inconsistently (thanks to Wylab and Sandbag for their help in tracking down the issue);
Ore minimap colors when using the Ore Detector have been adjusted to make them more distinguishable;
An issue where returning to the save slots menu after New Game+ settings menu would make the save slots not interactable has been fixed;
A problem with aggressive plants at level 5 randomly turning off when the player leaves their attack range has been resolved (thanks to Pico for the report).

Open Beta version of the game will be discontinued today, as it is no longer required. Steam should automatically change the version of your game to the main branch.

What's next?

Unfortunately, this is the last content update for Ad Fundum. There are still things in the game that I want to improve and bugs to fix, so there will be 1 or 2 more updates aimed at increasing the game's performance and adding some small QoL features, but that would be it. After that, however, I will focus on bringing Ad Fundum to other platforms. Right now, I cannot say exactly which platforms Ad Fundum will visit, as this depends on a publisher that I have not found yet. However, I can assure you that I will aim for as many platforms as I can.

The Great War is over, and the Age of Diesel has come. While many believe this is an era of harmony and prosperity, you know that peace is more fragile than ever. You embark on a journey into the depths of Earth to find the means to avert future conflict. But what awaits you in the darkness below? Is it a boon or doom for humanity?

Take control of a colossal mech, capable of drilling through hundreds of meters of rock in a matter of seconds. Collect valuable resources, then fly back to your base to sell minerals for immense profit. Keep a close eye on your control panel: in a dangerous environment, your mech may overheat or overcool, and, most importantly, it doesn’t run on air – it needs fuel to operate. And beware of falling stones - your machine's hull won't withstand too much damage.

Rebuild your base

Your base has seen better days, but with enough amount of money you will restore it to its former glory and beyond to enhance your mining performance and unlock special abilities.

Upgrade your gear

Upgrade every part of your mech individually to transform an outdated prototype into a technological marvel. Experiment with different builds to create the ultimate mining machine best suited for your playstyle.

Find hidden secrets

Discover artifacts to unravel the history of the first human civilization on Earth, or search for the remnants of the previous underground expedition to unlock special upgrades with unique effects for your mech.

Explore 8 diverse locations

The deeper you go, the more locations you will discover. Each has its own visual style, atmosphere, gameplay mechanics, and threats to deal with.

Survive earthquakes

The ground you dig does not stand still – it shifts, changing its terrain. An earthquake is a dangerous time to collect resources, but when it’s raining minerals, how can you resist not grabbing some ore?

Other features

Procedurally generated world: each run will be unique!
Original soundtrack: every location in the game has its own music and atmosphere.
Several difficulty levels: whether you seek a challenge, want to relax, or aim for a balanced experience, you'll find a suitable difficulty.
Several story endings: can you unlock them all?
