Greetings, Platform Managers!
The Board of Directors is pleased to share that Drill Core Inc. has officially been plundering the galaxy operating for a year!
In order to show our appreciation of all the profits hard work you, our esteemed employees, have dedicated to the company, we’ve forced asked the R’n’D Department to create a brand new upgrade to your working conditions: introducing the Anniversary Update!
Increase the profits (and challenge!) by choosing to Escalate a Contract before it starts for additional rewards, or use a brand new Platform building to get sponsor company tasks during a Contract for extra bounties.
Not quite up to the additional challenge? Drill Core Inc. still does not offer any employees ‘time off’, but upon the HR Department’s insistence the Board of Directors is pleased to share that there is a brand new Relaxed Mode which will allow for a slightly less intense pace whilst still allowing you to profit.
Of course, this is far from everything included in the Free Anniversary Update, and we welcome all employees to review the full changelog at the end of this memo for additional details, or to update Drill Core now to begin ‘enjoying’ them.
We strongly encourage all employees follow the corporate TikTok and Twitter accounts for a clear line of communication with Drill Core Inc., and also join the corporate Discord server to take part in company-wide conversations.
With lukewarm regards,
The Drill Core Inc. Board of Directors
