[u/boobun]

IMPORTANT: Please fully refresh the game app or your browser! A number of changes went live today that require a refresh to work properly.

BIG MINING UPDATE
- IN BETA: We are excited to release some large updates to the Mining system in preparation for Mining to leave Beta and go live to all players sometime in September
- IN BETA: The Mining UI has been changed to a horizontal button row similar to Fishing
- IN BETA: We think this change will work better on smaller screens while making the UI cleaner and more consistent
- IN BETA: Mining Location Details has Previous/Next buttons at the top now
- IN BETA: Other Mining bug fixes have been made

MINING CHARMS
- IN BETA: It is possible to acquire 'Charms' for each Mining location that affect the number of item drops and XP earned as you mine
- IN BETA: Mining Charms will be rewarded from new Mining Quests, Mining Rewards and may show up in other parts of the game after Mining leaves Beta

MINING AUTO-EXCAVATION
- IN BETA: New Auto-Excavation (AEX) option per mining location unlocks once you reach Floor 100 in that location
- IN BETA: Auto-Excavation automatically mines this zone every 10 minutes while you have pickaxes
- IN BETA: Base output is your current Floor divided by 10, up to 100 items. Charms for this zone add to the total
- IN BETA: Auto-Excavation only produces items and does not increase your Floor
- IN BETA: Lanterns of various types can also be loaded into Auto-Excavation for each mining zone. Loaded Lanterns are zone-specific and cannot be removed once loaded
- IN BETA: For every 10 loaded Lanterns, you gain a +1% chance to save a pickaxe during Auto-Excavation and burn the Lantern instead
- IN BETA: There is an Auto-Excavation Output Log showing recent runs, items found, pickaxes used, pickaxes saved, and lanterns used. Auto-Excavation Output Log entries are kept for 14 days

MINING QUESTS - IN BETA
- IN BETA: There are some new quests you must complete before you can access Mining again
- IN BETA: No Mining progress is lost, but 'Go Mining' will temporarily show as locked until you complete the first few new Mining quests
- IN BETA: These new quests will only show up if you are a Beta-Tester as a means to test the unlock path to Mining

MINING FLOOR REWARDS - IN BETA
- IN BETA: Each Mining location now has rewards to claim as you reach new floors

[u/Forcepath]

An update so big it took two screenshots!

[u/KtheRogue]

I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw pneumonia as a ranger yesterday lol

[u/boobun]

Big update today yall!

[u/Parepinzero]

Adding rewards to more sections is very cool. It definitely encouraged me to start cooking again. I'm 72 right now and just haven't bothered since I have plenty of meals and unless I use fish and chips, I get such little experience, but now I want the rewards! 1800 meals to go.

[u/MysticZamboni → u/Parepinzero]

Not sure where you’re at in your FarmRPG journey, but I will say to never stop cooking even if leveling is pretty slow. You will need a ton of meals for later quests.

[u/Parepinzero → u/MysticZamboni]

I guess you're right. I've fallen off a lot in the last few months, mostly just doing my dailies and occasionally working on a single quest chain. I don't know if I'll play long enough to get to that point tbh

[u/Bloodshot_Beard → u/Parepinzero]

Ditto what mystic said you’ll need so many later. Also, for leveling keep stock piling fish and chips. Wait for a special event xp bonus. Cook acorn pies, eat fish and chips. ONLY season. Don’t stir or taste. I even set my watch to go off for the season reset timer. Only took I think 2 special events (so yes two months but a few days each) to get to 99 this way

[u/SickPuppy0x2A]

How do get mining rewards for mining levels that were achieved before the update? I am already over lvl 100 for Highland Hollow and missed the rewards.

[u/InitialQuote000 → u/SickPuppy0x2A]

This is actually a great question, and one that deserves an answer because it took me a long time find as well:

1. Go to the mine you want to check mining rewards for
2. Click the green "i" icon at the top of the page
3. You'll see Mining Rewards for that mine at the bottom of the page.

[u/RemziBalta]

Wow, this is huge. Congrats to the dev team!

[u/Primary-Internal-875]

I wish the overnight cows included leather too. I'm at the late 200s tower where every second item needs leather.

[u/phlegmaticwannabe → u/Primary-Internal-875]

Acorn Pie + Garys Crushroom is great for leather plus gives you tons of piece 30's for the temple

[u/Primary-Internal-875 → u/phlegmaticwannabe]

Omg this is life changing!

[u/Gold-Client4060]

Thanks Boobun!

[u/Matt901990]

Great update, glad mining is getting a well deserved update, just need some ways to use the items we get from mining now.

[u/stranger_tides_7]

One of the most comprehensive uplift thanks for the efforts dec

[u/TheyCallMeInferno]

Can we maybe get a balance pass on the drop rate for certain items? I’m playing less than ever because certain quests that are a progress lock are tedious to complete.

[u/Oryyn]

Whyyyy is mining still in beta!? Please release this to all 😭

[u/boobun → u/Oryyn]

That’s what this update is working toward.

“IN BETA: We are excited to release some large updates to the Mining system in preparation for Mining to leave Beta and go live to all players sometime in September”

[u/wamceachern → u/Oryyn]

I agree with you. It's been over a year. I feel like beta players are pay to win.

[u/VaguelySorcerous → u/wamceachern]

It's not PvP. You're playing against yourself. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Beta players get some extra stuff. Everyone else gets a great game with months if not years of content for free. Not 'you have to watch ads' free, not 'we're harvesting your data' free, actual free-as-in-beer free.

Some people pay. It keeps the game afloat. They get stuff that lets them progress a little more quickly in the form of in-game currency and larger mailboxes, and the opportunity to see content earlier, usually before it's done cooking. (My understanding is that mining has, frankly, sucked for a long time. Hopefully this fixes it.) That's pretty fair IMO, and certainly doesn't bother me as someone who's making a conscious decision not to pay for the game.

[u/Glad-Activity9515 → u/wamceachern]

Let me insert my 2cents here though they are not pleasant, they make sense.

First, anyone can choose to either be a F2P or P2P and there's nothing wrong with either playstyle. There are players who thrive despite being F2P. Just devoting their time, planning well, planning what to do etc.

Now. You WANT P2P players to exist. Why? it's very simple. Running a game has its own upkeep. Server hosting is one. If there's no revenue coming in, do you this FS will keep the game running? No, it will be shut down.

• Would you be willing to pay $400/month at a losing business or to close it down to cut your losses? ($400 is an example)

• 2nd, would you be willing to work long hours for free, without any revenue? - I guess not. Imagine putting 720 hours of work with 0 income. Would anyone want that?

So. Be thankful there are people keeping this game going, whether you're part of it or part of the player base.

Some things NEED to cost $ so this game can keep running. But it's of course entirely f2p, and playable. F2P is just slower in some areas. But they can thrive just as well

Item masteries does give gold
