It’s time for the first Post-Launch Update!
Update 31 is primarily focused on doing a bit of pick-up after launch – adding some things we had to cut for the 1.0 because of time constraints, as well as fixing a ton of minor and major bugs and crashes based on feedback from you guys. Update 32 will add new Mission Types, but more on that when our plans are more fleshed out.
Also, on June 10th, Ghost Ship Games will launch a Merchandise store in collaboration with Coffee Stain and For Fans By Fans Initially, the store will include on-demand printable items like t-shirts, hoodies, mousepads, and the likes.
For Fans By Fans are currently approving their custom prints for this and are awaiting some more info There is also right now a competition going on for DRG fan-art on the For Fans By Fans site. The winners will get their designs added to the merch store later on. Here is a link the page https://www.forfansbyfans.com/feature/deep-rock-galactic-fan-forge
— PATCH NOTES —
MINER’S MANUAL: CREATURE PAGES
—————————-
An obvious part of the Miner’s Manual we planned from the very beginning – a full library of every creature in the game. And now it’s there, chock full of information, tips, and even a bit of lore for those into that kind of thing! Every creature-entry starts off locked and will be revealed as you encounter them in the flesh.
3 x NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
—————————-
We’ve added three new Secondary Mission Objectives to spice things up a bit.
GUNK SEEDS: Shoot the hanging slimesacks to release the precious Gunk Seeds within!
EBONUTS: Destroy the tough outer shell and harvest the nuts inside!
FESTER FLEAS: Pest control – take out these small annoying bugs before they start multiplying!
NEW ENEMY: KORLOK TYRANT-WEED
—————————-
The Tyrant-Weed is a brand new encounter for you to…encounter in the caves. Take out the central Heart-Growth before it manages to seed the surrounding area with so many shooting sproutlings that it overwhelms you! When you have destroyed it remember to deposit the Tyrant Shards, which will reward you with a nice credit and XP Bonus at the Mission Complete screen.
BIOME UPDATES
—————————-
Radioactive Exclusion Zone, Dense Biozone, Fungus Bogs have all gotten a bunch of new shapes added to them. Huge Mushrooms, Coral-like Growths, and more – go explore to discover it all!
NEW BEER: SMART STOUT
—————————-
A new beer is ready for you to unlock in the Abyss Bar, once you reach Player Rank 23. Drink it and you will be struck by momentary flashes of deep insight…
SPACE RIG UPDATES
—————————-
The Space Rig continues to be fleshed out with more detail – it’s dirtier and messier than ever! The Wardrobes in particular have gotten a graphical overhaul that should hopefully make them stand out a bit more.
– [COMMUNITY REQUEST] Added a Refrigerator to the Abyss Bar! It doesn’t display fanart yet, but we’re looking into options. 😀
JUKE BOX UPDATE
—————————-
– We have had to remove two tracks from the Jukebox due to problems with content-creators getting unjustified copyright claims. To compensate we have added nine brand new tracks – reggae, surf, rock, banjo and more.
