• Patch #15: Mining Order, Codex and a lot more! - 17 September 2026

  Hello miners,This patch is big and offers a lot of changes all over the game to improve the experience. I want to speak a bit about the major ones and explain why those changes felt mandatory before I could move on to important additions.The biggest change here concerns the mining phase: previously no matter the order in which you used your pickaxe to mark block, the dwarf would handle the mining order himself. In most cases, that was completely fine: he would mine closer blocks first. But some problems could rise depending on specific situations: if you had the Dynamite Relic and/or the Bomb Storage Building, since those effects are happening after the last block is dug (and by extension the last area the effect could trigger). There were also some situations where the dwarf could choose to dig a Mushroom first and this effect would send the dwarf to an area where you already choose to…

• Patch #13: The Wandering Events Update - 6 August 2026

  Hello miners,The august update is here! Today's patch is big. It might seems it doesn't add a lot of new content (that is true) but the list of changes and the impact all of them have is pretty massive. Like always, before listing everything I wanted to share my thoughts and goals regarding this update to provide more context and details. Here we go.The main new feature in this update is the addition of a new type of random event. New dwarves will regularly visit you at the mine entrance to offer new opportunities to collect relics, bonuses, and resources. These events are designed to help players get stronger faster and add more variety to the game. Eight events are available in this version, and more will be added in the coming weeks, featuring new types of choices and opportunities.The duration of a classic run currently doesn’t give players enough time to fully unleash their power a…

• Patch #10: Missing Hero Powers & New Events - 26 May 2026

  Hello miners,The May update is finally here! I was really sick the first week of the month, so my ability to work on the game was severely affected. This update marks also the beginning of the new series of updates included in the new roadmap I shared a week ago. I’m pretty excited with all the stuff I have planned, a lot of things happening behind the scenes as I start setting things up for upcoming changes and most wanted additions like the mid run saving system and new game mechanics.
