HOTFIXES/CHANGES SINCE PATCH---------------------------------------
HOTFIX - A few people may have been able to get INFINITE DRILL POWER due to an exploit in this patch! This has now been addressed.
HOTFIX - An issue was identified where nano drills were causing items to level up incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
HOTFIX 28.07.21 - A few people caught a bug in which they could not get the final item upgrade achievement (with item upgrade numbers exceeding total in game). This has now been addressed. Pressing the "Sync" button in the achievements screen of the office should provide the missing achievement. This only affected a handful of people caught between the major patch release and the hot fix later that day and only those who used nano drills in this short period of time.
HOTFIX 30.07.21 - Monster infestations have been reduced slightly across all infested locations.
HOTFIX 06.08.21 - Monster infestations have been reduced again to a more manageable level. I very much appreciate the feedback I have received about these.
HOTFIX 06.08.21 - For those who caught the item level bug. I have added a fix as best I could to help your save file. If you go to the office/achievement screen and press the sync button it should now return your item levels to the correct max and it SHOULD pop the Item completion badge and perk. You will also be awarded a load of drill tokens as this issue would have meant you could not get them all. Please let me know if this helps you. Its very difficult to test this as the issue was such a small window of time and didn't affect many people. I wanted to fix this as I feel those who were affected deserve better and I made a mistake. I hope this will fix the issue for those that were affected and I hope you are enjoying Galactic Mining Corp ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is quite a large update and I hope you find the changes and additions even more fun. I am so thankful for all the amazing support I have received for the game and I hope many of you will continue to enjoy the game long into the future.
Happy drilling and much love

Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #4
Hey everyone! I have been working hard to make Galactic Mining Corp even greater! Thanks to your amazing feedback and suggestions I have added another set of fixes and additions.
Here is whats in this patch...
Added a second control method. Several users with hand related injuries/problems have stated that extended play causes them discomfort. I want to do everything I can to make Galactic Mining Corp fun for everyone. Now you can switch to "Auto drill" mode in the options menu. This will make the drill automatically follow the mouse, when the left mouse button is held down you will stop until you release the button.
Crit strike has had a make over. Hitting a crit will now cause damage to some surrounding tiles in front of your drill. A crit strike will cause (base drill damage + crit damage) to the tile being drilled and crit damage to surrounding tiles. This affects tiles, crates and chests!
You can now hit crit strikes on chests and crates.
Crit stike chance increased by 30%. You will see many more of them. I also increased the size of the crit strike visual effect.
New Tooltip added . You can now mouse over tiles and items in the end of mission screen to see the names of the tiles and items.
A large amount of optimisation should reduce frame rate issues when drilling large planets with tons of powerups.
Reduced the cost of Mighty Obelisk of Research investment site by a considerable amount.
Fixed an issue where having to much money made your cash turn negative. Capped at 2 Billion.
Fixed the confusing wording of the Sunset Silo. It now refers to crit damage in its description.
Fixed several sound effects not applying the player chose SFX volume
Fixed a strange issue causing some chests to be empty in the explore screen
Corrected a load of spelling mistakes
Fixed an issue where giant worm would spawn twice in same place.
Hotfix (later the same day) - Anyone who had their cash turn negative before the above patch should now be pulled back into the positive when first entering the HQ screen. Sorry to anyone who got stuck in negative for a while. I hope this is now fixed for you all.
Again I want to thank you all for the most amazing release. Its been an absolute joy speaking with you all about the game and its amazing to see how much people are enjoying the game. Thank you!!!
Happy drilling and much love

Galactic Mining Corp - Patch #3
Hey everyone.
Alongside the launch of the Galactic Mining Corp Steam trading cards I have managed to update quite a lot in the game itself. Some fixes and a few new additions!
The infirmary level 3 upgrade no longer costs a BAJILLION coins. It now has a reasonable price.
More work on the sound effects volume issue. I am hopeful it should now apply chosen volumes to sound effects (including muted)
Music will no longer be interrupted/silenced by lots of explosions.
Coretrium 3rd final node changed from a xp boost to a Research coin drop increase. (this will sadly not be applied if you have already unlocked it)
Late game drilling earnings will be updated correctly when numbers get really high.
Upgrading tiles/items to max will no longer randomly leave the "level up" button visible.
Horizontal explosive crates now kill monsters.
fixed another load of typo's and grammar issues.
Fixed a rare issue in which 1 research square was not unlocking correctly
Fixed an issue with a block break sound effect not playing every time
Fixed an issue where unlocking space map squares behaved strangely (on rare occasions) in 3rd map bottom corner.
Added a 5x green coin to reduce late game slow down due to coin and particle loads.
Added a new investment site in 3rd galaxy. GO FIND IT
Added a Sync button on the in game achievement screen which will resync with steam and unlock any achievements missed by Steam (you have to have them unlocked in that save file for Steam to find them)
Added A currency larger than the blue gems for super hardcore grinders!
Thank you all so very much for the amazing support. the last few weeks since release have been an absolute roller coaster! I sincerely hope you are all enjoying the game. Feel free to join the Windybeard Discord to discuss the game (or anything) and throw around some suggestions. I am in there most of the time. Join the Windybeard Discord
After the last patch a few people noticed a slow down, after a quick system restart it was gone so be sure to do this if you experience anything similar. If you are one of the unfortunate few who has had their Antivirus wipe their save files, please be sure to white list Galactic Mining Corp again after this patch just in case. I am still trying to address this issue.
