Two weeks ago I posted that Version 0.6 would be delayed due to a fmily emergency. Fortunately everone is alive and recovering well. The plan was to release 0.6 today as a am finally in a place where a can provide the bug fixing and support you all deserve with a new release.

When it comes…Engineer Alpha's Log #82: Those Mining Drills, They SUCK!The most important part of any plan is knowing when to throw out the plan. The small and large mining drill that you unlock in the copper or iron tier respectively are intended to be a good source of resources throughout the early game. While they where never intended to completely replace hand mining at their point in the game they should make it start to feel like you need to do less and less…
