Mines of Dalarnia: Terraformed Update Patch Notes

Mainnet update 1.5 is almost here! Introducing Land Economy 3.0 that redefines the entire economy of MoD, direct resource mining that transforms digging gameplay, and a brand new game : run a mining company by building modbots to mine Moon Chips for seasonal DAR rewards. Terraformed update also improves wallet connect functionality and stability, and includes numerous bug fixes and polish improvements to every corner of the game.

Land Management and Economy 3.0 Update

➊ All lands now have the same base state. There are no fundamental differences between plots other than name, planet and location

➤ Land Owners can terraform a depth directly onto the land via new terraforming recipes.
• A land may only have 1 active depth at a time.
• Depth Aspect is randomized each terraform.
▹Miners may now access a depth even if they are not wearing gear with the matching aspect.
◦ Miners get stacking power bonuses for each piece of gear they are wearing that matches the current depth aspect.
▹ PL1 depths will always terraform to basic (Terra) aspect.

➤ Terraforming a depth will begin 7-day cooldown on other options in the same tier, and a 2-day cooldown before the land may be terraformed again in any tier.

➋ Updated the Navigator UI to support Land Economy 3.0 features.

➌ Updated the Land Management UI to support Land Economy 3.0 features.

➍ Old metadata for land depths and resources has been retained and may be applied to future features.

➎ Old Terraforming Capsules no longer have any functionality.
▹ Old terraforming capsules can be broken down for a number of resources equal to their original crafting costs.

Resource Mining

➊ Resources are now gathered directly in the mines instead of rewarded via the previous score star system. — Resource nodes now appear directly in the mine during gameplay.

➋ The miner now has a bag to hold resources during a dig.
➤ Press TAB to open the bag.
➤ The bag has 50 slots.
➤ Different resources fill different amounts of room in the bag.
‣ Copper and Gold take 1 slot.
‣ Iron and Silver take 5 slots
‣ Ozymodium takes 10 slots
‣ Rag and Aqua take 2 slots
➤ For rarer resources, miners may need to collect multiple fragments to complete a full resource.
‣ If the miner exits with fragments in the bag that have not been filled out a complete resource, those fragments are deleted.
➤ Resources can be deleted out of the bag to clear up room.

➌ There is now a time bonus system during digs.
➤ Exiting the dig while a time bonus is active will increase the amount of resources the player earns.
➤ As time passes the bonus will decrease.
➤ Defeating monsters spawns Time Gems
‣ Collecting Time Gems only increases the time bonus back up to a cap,
which also decreases over time.

Modbots and the Mining Company

Fully implemented Modbots into the game. Learn more about the feature here.

➊ Modbots can be accessed from a new terminal in the satellite, and from the menus.

➤ Send modbots to the moon to mine moon chips.
‣ At the end of the season, players will be rewarded with DAR based on the share of total moon chips they hold.
➤ Build minerbots to increase your daily mining velocity, increasing the number of moon chips earned per day.
‣ A minerbot variant exists for each of the primary resource types.
➤ Random Storms will occur periodically to damage your bots. Make sure your minerbots are protected by defendbots and repairbots so you don’t lose mining velocity.

➋ Miners must be Miner Rank 5 to access the Modbots feature.

Perk Redesigns

Several perks were redesigned to work with the new mining systems.
➊ Green Gem Bonus -> Time Gem Bonus
‣ Time gems grant additional time.

➋ Mining Gem Bonus -> Mining Accelerator
‣ Resource deposits break in much fewer hits

➌ Monster Gem Bonus -> Attack Miner
‣ Attack power increases as number of gems in bag increases

➍ All Gem Bonus -> Speed Miner
‣ Move speed increases as number of gems in bag increases

➎ Red Gem Bonus -> Rare Miner
‣ Shows the location of rarest resource cluster on the radar at all times

➏ Extra Gem Drop on Monster Kill (Weapon perk)
‣ Monsters now drop an extra time gem after every X monster kills

Halloween 2023 Mini-Event

➊ A new costume Holo : Glorbo the Space Alien
‣ Craft the Alien Helmet and Armor holos for a limited time only during the Halloween 2023 event Event.

➋ Pumpkonium will automatically be added to any crate that the miner filled to at least 25/50 resources.
‣ Gather Pumpkonium by participating in any normal dig.
