🚀 New Features & Mechanics

Cabin Elevator System

Going underground and returning to the surface is now more convenient. We have added an electrically powered Cabin Elevator system. Here is how it works:

  • Elevator units can be snapped directly underneath each other to create a single vertical structure.

  • The Elevator Main Unit acts as a designated floor, allowing you to travel back and forth between these main units.

  • Extension units are available as a cheaper option to extend the elevator's shaft down to your dig sites.

  • The elevator cabin comes equipped with its own built-in storage container, making it easier to transport resources to the surface.

Backpack Generator

We have added a new Backpack Generator to help you manage your energy while working:

  • It operates as a fuel-powered piece of equipment designed to improve your energy regeneration.

  • As long as it remains active, it allows your energy to regenerate up to 100%.

  • It increases the overall speed of your energy recovery.
