[INTERNAL MEMO] Platform Skins, Gamepad Controls and Resource Shipment Contracts

Drill Core · published 8 Oct 2025, 13:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings, Platform Managers! 


The Board of Directors is pleased to be able to share further updates regarding the developments currently underway at Drill Core Inc., which will come into fruition later this month for all employees (and we’re not even charging you for them!).

Platform Skins


The most dedicated employees treat their Platform as if it were their only second home; as such, the HR Department has suggested that allowing Platform Managers to better customize their workspace is the route to true profits ‘employee satisfaction’, whatever that means. To best support this, you will now be able to select new Platform Skins from the upgrade console, with one cosmetic upgrade per Platform Type. 


The Board of Directors would like to remind all employees that any damage caused to Platforms is considered destruction of company property, and Platform Managers will be invoiced for such liabilities. 

Gamepad Controls 


The R’n’D Department has been hard at work in creating a new control scheme for all Platform Managers currently utilising a gamepad in their mining operations, allowing for greater control - and therefore, profits. 


Cursor-style pointing will now be a thing of the past, with radial menus in place for frequent actions and abilities, allowing you to switch from element to element as seamlessly as if you were playing a game*! 


*The Board of Directors would like to remind all employees that Drill Core Inc. does not support employee down-time or ‘recreation’; any such ‘free periods’ should simply be used for undertaking further Contracts.

Resource Shipment Contracts 


As mentioned in our previous internal memo, 3 new contract types will be available to all Platform Managers in the upcoming update. Today, we’d like to share the second of these new contract types with you: Resource Shipment Contracts.


Sometimes, resources are needed by Drill Core Inc. for specific initiatives; for example, the HR Department may need to build a secondary Employee Complaints Incinerator when the first one simply cannot handle all the incoming…’feedback’. In cases such as these, the Board of Directors may require Platform Managers to acquire these necessary resources and ship them back to Headquarters. Naturally, we expect that all employees will be glad to contribute to Drill Core Inc.’s mission in any way asked of them, and won’t be offering additional compensation for these endeavours. 


We trust that this latest memo has been beneficial to all employees, and look forward to continuing to share more about what’s coming in the late October update soon. 


As always, we strongly encourage all employees to follow the corporate TikTok and Twitter accounts for a clear line of communication with Drill Core Inc., and also to take part in company-wide conversations on the corporate Discord server. 


With lukewarm regards,
The Drill Core Inc. Board of Directors
