Repeated intro

Hello raiders! We’re back to share a new dev diary. In this patch, you’ll find a revamped side quest, Ballad of Thornstone. The quest unlocks after defeating Dyrcona’s capital ship and explores the dark past of the raider colonies, built on the law of the strongest. We wanted to make it clearer and more consistent with the in game narrative, so we added two new quest areas and rewrote part of the dialogue. We hope you enjoy the result. We have also addressed a major mining issue. While we continue working toward a broader update in this area, we have fixed the bug that prevented mineables from fracturing, which in turn blocked the collection of loot. In addition, we resolved a critical problem introduced by recent changes that, for some players, prevented Dyrcona from being properly destroyed and the quest from progressing. With this update, we conclude today’s entry. Thank you for your feedback. Keep losing yourselves in the damned coils of Neterun as you struggle to survive your eternal exile. Farewell, raiders!
