Hey everyone!

Hope you're all doing great! With the upcoming DLC content planned for Friday, I wanted to make sure there's something new to play in the base game as well. So today I'm showcasing a (free) base game content update that's coming tomorrow, one day ahead of the upcoming DLCs.

Tomorrow's content update includes the following:

• 2 new maps
  
• A new 'rock' type
  
• 10 Trading cards
  
• 5 New achievements

New maps

There are two new maps, one on planet Frostera and one on planet Vulcanar. These are the fourth maps on each planet and will unlock after completing the third maps. They also include additional mines so you can build new mining sites for additional passive resources.

New 'rock' type

You might be wondering how a new type of rock could possibly be interesting, however, this rock is actually diggable! You'll encounter these rocks on Frostera and Vulcanar. Although you can dig right through them without the need of any bombs, they will freeze or overheat your mech, so you need to cool down for a bit until you can continue. Of course the overheating and freezing passives will help you cool down much faster!

Trading Cards

Starting from tomorrow, Super Mining Mechs will have Steam trading cards enabled, which means you will randomly find cards as you play the game. Turn them into an awesome badge to unlock Steam wallpapers and emoji's to spice up your Steam profile.

New achievements

By popular request, I'm adding a handful of achievements as well. I got asked many times to add new achievements in the DLC, but sadly it's not possible to add seperate achievements to DLC content. This means that if I would add achievements that require the DLC content, it would become impossible for players to get 100% of the achievements without purchasing the DLC. I don't think it's fair to force people to get the DLC just to get the achievements, so I won't be adding any new achievements tied to the new DLC content. However, of course it's still possible to expand the range of achievements of the base game, so I'm adding 5 new achievements!

Please Wishlist!

Lastly - please don't forget to wishlist the upcoming DLC / soundtrack. It helps out a lot for the Steam algorithm and makes sure you get notified when they launch this Friday. This way you won't miss the launch discount!




And as always - thank you all for your continued support! <3
