Version 0.6442 Alpha
Greetings gold seekers,
We have great news for you. The Consume and Connect update is here!
With this update you can expect some new challenges to run your facilities, vehicles and furnaces. In addition to fuel, water and gas, you will now also need electricity to continue your gold prospecting activities.
Have you run out of fuel on your machines? No problem. A suitable trailer is now available from the vehicle dealer. For a small fee, you can call it your own. Why don't you drop by with your pickup? Provided your pickup has a trailer coupling.
And while you're in town, why not pop into one of the petrol stations? We've heard that the renovation work has been completed and they're now open again. They might even sell you a suitable canister or gas bottle. Because you never know what you might need it for.
Is fuel too expensive for you? Then we have a little tip for you. Just keep an eye on the little sign on the petrol pump. You never know what time will bring.
Now let's go, time is gold! You still need some equipment. So off to the store.

Update Consume & Connect
Soon the time will come. After a long time, fuel, electricity, water and gas consumption will finally come into play. But you'll have to be patient for a few more days.
Consumption will change a lot of things in the game. You can no longer simply start the engine or the machines, so you can, but it will cost you money.
In addition, some other features have been revised, such as the Physic Watch, which is responsible for turning the physics of items and vehicles on or off as required.
It has happened from time to time that items or vehicles have disappeared, but this should no longer happen with the revised version.
Of course, various bugs will also be fixed and perhaps there will be a surprise or two.
The “Consume & Connect” update is planned for April 11, 2025.
Gold Hunter is currently still on offer for around 24 hours, so grab it now so that you can enjoy the game, the new update and many other updates.
So, that's all for now. Here are some preview images of the update.
