Season 29 Patch
-
Core features:[list]
- [added] The gold distribution is now randomized on every claim (the overview below is just an example; you might have a different distribution in your game).
- [added] Additionally, each claim features a unique distribution with its own pros and cons (e.g., Old Arnold's has an even distribution while having less overall gold than Nighthawk, but Nighthawk requires lots of drilling to find rich deposits).
- [balanced] Increased drilling range for manual drilling (mostly likely you'll make 9 holes, sometimes 6, and rarely 4 - instead of the usual 1 to 4 per use).
