Work in the full swing, but for now we hide exact release date. On the development stage we ran into some problems, which cost us much more time, than we expected.
We don't want to dissapoint U neither another carryover the date, nor, especially, slack-backed, boring game.
We will announce exact date, when we ourselves will be completely sure of it.
And there is one of the things, cos of what our schedule was shifted - "Farm assembly" or U can call it "craft" (workin title).
Here is how it looks like on the prototyping phase.
And here is how it will be look like into the game.
It was especially hard to our programmer to do this. Cos of edits and additions, he was forced to rewrite code at least three times.
Please, wish our dev something inspirating ːsteamhappyː.
We very appreciate your support!
Here they come!
The most POWERFULL equipment in the game at the moment!
At the first stage will be available ASIC's only for the SHA256 algorithm (Bitcoin), at the next stage will be added ASIC's for other algorithms (currencies).
For now, we finished work on ingame items. What will be available for player at the first stage? Here some digits:
• 4 ASIC
• 6 Exhausts
• 8 Prebuilt rigs
• 9 AC
• 17 Rig frames
• 18 Cooling fans
• 18 Motherboards
• 38 PSU
• 104 video cards
And some unique items!
For a start, perhaps, enough? ;)
Still not ASIC, but not regular rig already
We added class to the game "prebuilt farms".
They'll be less powerful than ASIC, but more universal.
How to cool mining farms?
Fans, air conditioners, exhausts — from simple household to powerful industrial ones.
The equipment will differ from one another not only in price, but also in the amount of airflow (from fans) or affected areas (by exhausts and air conditioners), and also in the cooling capacity, strength and energy consumption.
And, of course, in design. Are you excited?
Very important question about thermal map's colors!
A few days ago we found out that classical color scheme for termal map rised some too many questions. So, here are two options (from the left to the right => from the hottest to the coldest)
1. Realistic option. White color - the hottest, dark blue - coldest. This color set is used in real life (for termal imager, thermovision sights and even in weather forecasts).
or
2. Casual option. Where red is hottest and black-blue - the coldest, with yellow in middle.
What option is the best for U?
R U for Greens or Reds?
Finished, at last, with most pain of out artist - there r 104 ingame video cards ːsteamhappyː
Why did you postpone the release date?
As you may have noticed, the Early Access release date has shifted from February to April. During the development of the game, we decided to make it more complex and enliven it with new features, which, of course, required to invest more time from us.
The interface got some new interesting elements.
And as for the stock exchange, aside from exchanging currency, you can now play on lowering / increasing the rate. Would you like to try yourself as a trader? Now you can predict the rate by reading the News provided by the events system
We’ve also added some new characters. They’ll help you with your farms’ repair and maintenance
Thermal Control mode has become even more realistic
And, of course, there are more interesting and colorful designs of chassis’ from our artist
Now we are doing everything to balance the harsh reality of mining (a calculation of the hashrate, the problems of thermal and energy control, the impact of news on rates, the periodic shortage of components, the need for their upgrade and repair are included) and to add colorful, memorable elements to the game.
Mining rig like decor element?
Regular rigs looks sooo boring and monotone. So, we decided to diversify their design. And that's what we got
Do You liked it?
How not to turn the farm into “heater”?
One of the tasks that you’ll have to deal in the game is controlling the heat generation. Constant high temperatures means rapid death of equipment. The overheating problem can be solved with the correct placement of fans, air conditioners and exhausts. And the "Thermocard" mode will look like this:
What types of cryptocurrencies will be in the game?
What types of cryptocurrencies will be in the game?
Judging by the title, you might think the game will be about Bitcoins and mining, but this isn’t true!
First of all, the game is about cryptoeconomics — its development, opportunities and expectations related to cryptocurrencies. Earning profit with mining is only the first stage.
At the start of the game you will get acquainted with these currencies
Did you recognize the real ones?
Of course, the currencies in the game will be different from the real ones.
How would you name your own cryptocurrency? What feature would it have?
