Hey Keepers
Thank you for the continued stream of feedback and bug reports! We are still working hard to fix and improve what we can, and will continue to do so.
For this patch, apart from the bugfixes, we discovered that the game was overscaling difficulty quite a bit. That meant in some assignments the monsters were a bit crazy, and more importantly the rock hardness generally was too high in multiplayer. Together with the non-shared upgrades, this led to way slower gameplay than intended.
This is much softer now and should feel like a way better progress, without the game outscaling your ability to dig.
Also please note that we provide patches early on the staging beta branch. There is no code required to access it. It was code-protected at first, so the first time you switch to the branch you probably need to re-install the game (don't ask me why, it's a Steam thing). It won't wipe your save.
