Hello Miners,
Welcome to SEASON 06 - RELICS OF HOXXES! New discoveries on Hoxxes require your urgent attention. You’re delving into a brand new planetary region, pursuing new riches, and facing off those who might stand in the Company’s way.
Season 06 is live right this minute here on Steam, and it’ll come to consoles in about two weeks. As always, this small delay is because of console-specific certification processes.
Let’s take a look at the new season!
Technical note: Steam's video embedding feature is still uncooperative for some people, it seems. If you don't see a clickable video right below this text, there should be a small hyperlink instead.
Patch notes - S06: Relics of Hoxxes
NEW MISSION: HEAVY EXTRACTION
The Company has detected a new material that was recently unearthed by a series of planetwide tectonic shifts. Huge deposits of Resinite have been discovered all over Hoxxes.
Delve underground, seek out the Resinite Masses, dig them free, and extract them via the lift rockets we send down to assist in the endeavor. We’ve got no equipment to triangulate the exact location of Resinite Masses, so keep your eyes peeled for great amber chunks sticking out of the ground.
As always, Management recommends familiarizing yourself with the mission details in the Miner’s Manual aboard the Space Rig. Good luck down there!
NEW BIOME: OSSUARY DEPTHS
A new planetary region has been discovered, and management has approved the Ossuary Depths for extraction operations. This gloomy new biome is home to a grim collection of skeletal remains gathered from all over Hoxxes.
And among these dusty bones lives a new threat: The Ossirans.
THREE NEW ENEMIES
OSSIRAN SCRAB: This winged menace is capable of swarming you from above and below. It’s an agile threat when flying through the air, and its thick outer shell allows it to put up a strong defense when grounded. Your best bet is to deal damage when it's airborne.
OSSIRAN PIT JAW: This larger variant of Ossiran lies in wait just below the surface, ready to ambush any dwarf that wanders too close. Its jaws are strong enough to incapacitate, and it’ll take a good chunk out of your health if it catches you. It may let you go, especially if provided with sufficient incentive from your allies, but be warned - once its cover is blown, the Pit Jaw will relocate to set up another ambush nearby.
OSSIRAN BONE COLLECTOR: Lacking any offensive capabilities, the Bone Collector will flee when confronted by a heavily armed dwarf. Should you encounter it, give it a fright and keep an eye on where it runs off to…
SEASON EVENT: OSSIUM RAID
Ossiran Bone Collectors have been spotted all over Hoxxes. You’ll know them by their distinct blue glow and scurrying movements (no, it’s not Scout). The Bone Collectors are harmless, and will run off when threatened (wait is it Scout?). Once they do, follow their trail through the caves until you reach their lair. Digging through a thin layer of dirt, you’ll find a secret trove of Ossium gems, a unique and valuable byproduct of the Ossirans’ bone collections.
Be aware: Disturbing the Ossium gems will alert nearby nesting Scrabs, so be careful when raiding these Ossium troves.
NEW DEEP DIVE SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: HEAVY EXTRACTION
The aforementioned tectonic tremors have caused Resinite Mass deposits to appear throughout the caves of Hoxxes. Now
