Patch Notes July 9th - Shores of Summer!

Added:

• Summer Seasonal Content (available to get until Aug 20th, items obtained will persist after the event ends) 

  • Added a chance to dig up a map leading to an ice chest when digging sand of any tier (excluding beach sand), as well as while extracting from most tier 1 and 2 resources

  • The map leading to the ice chest allows you to activate a single step prospecting activity that leads you to the ice chest

  • 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese)

  • 繁體中文 (Traditional Chinese)

  • Русский (Russian)

  • Polski (Polish)

  • Português (Brasil) (Brazilian Portuguese)

• Terraforming can now drop items based on the distance terraformed from the natural state and also added some new items for digging

  • Motes of the Dig - Food that gives a 60 second buff that increases construction power. Fairly common drop

  • Digging Crystal - A new trinket that gives construction power

  • Offering to the Sky - A rare auto-collected knowledge drop that grants construction power
