Hi guys,
Sometimes fixes and tweaks can be missed from patch notes, right now is one of those occasions. I’ve added the following missing note regarding Bomb adjustments:
- Bombs will now destroy resources at the same speed as they would destroy rocks, this means higher tier resources will not be left floating in mid-air when using bombs to mine.
In terms of balance, Bomb mining proved to be far too easy to gain numerous resources. The aim with this isn’t to make it more difficult but to bring bombs in line with other methods of mining. While bombs will now break resources inside it’s radius, the advantage they give is being able to clear a large portion of blocks to reveal other resources.
So for example, if I’m strip mining with a hammer, I know I have to hit down a load of rocks to reveal resources, but I’m definitely not going to destroy any other resources in the process. With bomb mining I can quickly destroy blocks to potentially reveal even more resources, but I risk destroying some resources in the process.
Apologies for the missing note, it happens sometimes and we’re continuously working on making the notes more solid with every update.
