⛏️ <Drilling> Hotfix v1.0.1 (Nov 4, 2026) ⛏️

Nov 3

Hello, Explorers digging deep beneath the surface!
This is the <Drilling> Exploration Support Team (Dev Team). 🧰

We read the expedition logs you sent in right after launch and rushed out for our first safety check.
Hotfix v1.0.1 is now live.

Bug Fixes

Progress stuck on the unlock card — After clearing three altars and talking to the NPC for the first time, the unlock card shown at the end of the cave cutscene would not advance when pressing F, and Esc would not open the menu either. We're sorry to every Explorer who got stuck there. The card now closes properly and your expedition can continue.

If your save was already stuck at that point, simply relaunch the game after updating and you'll pick up right where you left off.

Let us know about anything you've noticed or any issues you find on the Community Hub. The Support Team will look into it right away.

Safe digging, deep in the cozy underground!

Ran into a critical problem/bug

Upon completing the 3 Alters quest I unlocked an award(s), Movement Speed and Light Range. It said press "F" to accept but nothing happened when I did. I pressed F again, I clicked on an award (several times each in various areas) thinking I had to pick one, and pressed F again, still nothing. None of the other keys including Esc did anything either, it just kind of froze up on me so I had to force quit through Steam. I'll check back in a day or so and see if it's been fixed or if it was just a weird fluk...
