We hope you enjoy exploring everything this beta update has to offer. ⛏️One of the biggest additions in this update is the introduction of the brand new Moivaara map, a project we have been quietly working on alongside all the other improvements and additions included in this update.Moivaara map offers a completely new way to play Out Of Ore.A key feature of the new map is the land ownership system, allowing players to purchase and expand into new areas over time. Rather than having access to the entire map from the start, you'll gradually expand your operation by purchasing additional land as your company grows. Don't worry, every new company will begin with pre-purchased land, allowing you to get started right away.The map also introduces new shops and industrial sell points, giving players more options when purchasing equipment, materials, and where to sell their ore. Instead of relying solely on traditional sell point, you'll now be able to transport and deliver materials directly to various locations throughout the town industrial areas.Another major focus of this update has been improving the overall look and atmosphere of the game world.Across all maps, we've made numerous adjustments to lighting, post-processing, colors, materials, and environmental details to create a more vibrant and immersive experience. Daytime visuals have been updated with improved color grading and saturation, while the day and night cycle has received additional visual improvements to better represent different times of day.Work lights, vehicle lights, street lights, and other light sources have also received attention, helping improve both visibility and atmosphere during nighttime operations. In addition, we've updated various materials, textures, vehicle appearances, and environmental assets throughout the game to create a more consistent and polished visual experience.Highlights:Improved day and night post-processingIncreased daytime saturation and color balanceImproved lighting across all mapsUpdated work lights and placeable lightsUpdated production building and conveyor materialsImproved environmental details and atmosphereVarious terrain, foliage, and visual fixesNumerous visual polish improvements across all mapsImproved weather visualsAdded map icons for players, vehicles, businesses, shops, and points of interestImproved night and day time multiplier settingAdded new flashlightAdded new cinematic droneAdded settings for FPS and night time brightnessAdded ability to place grass materialTweaked player nametags how they fade depending from distance.Reduced amount of material placed from players hand Reduced size of items in player hand (paint bucket also now shows color you have equipped) Another major area of focus for this update has been the economy and progression systems.Prices can now change over time thanks to the introduction of dynamic pricing. Instead of every material always having a fixed value, market conditions can influence prices, creating new opportunities and encouraging players to think more strategically about what they produce, transport, and sell.We've also adjusted progression, unlock levels, production costs, and pricing across the game to create a smoother experience from starting out with a small operation to running a large industrial company. Alongside these changes, several management and quality-of-life improvements have been added to make it easier to track information and manage your business.Highlights:New dynamic pricing system (Material prices now change over time)Improved economy balancingUpdated production and building costs and unlock levelsNew and improved Mining OS menuImproved store sorting and navigationNew placeable sell pointsReworked BankImproved multiplayer role permissionsYou will notice improvements to the behavior of excavators, loaders, trucks, and other machinery throughout the game. This includes adjustments to digging mechanics, dirt and ore handling, bucket interactions, vehicle controls, gearbox behavior, and overall machine responsiveness. Our goal has been to make operating equipment feel smoother, more predictable, and a bit more realistic.We've also continued improving the visual side of the vehicle fleet, with updates to vehicle colors, paint finishes, lighting, and overall appearance. Highlights:Improved excavator digging behavior and terrain interaction and dirt handlingImproved loader digging and material handlingImproved paver material handling and placement heightGearbox adjustments across multiple vehiclesImproved wheeled excavator steering Tweaked trucks and rock trucks material dumping anglesTweaked compactor speed and terrain interactionUpdated vehicle colors, paint, and overall appearanceUpdated vehicle light spread and visibilityAdded additional lights to various vehiclesReduced windshield dirt and visual obstructions on multiple vehiclesVarious vehicle and machinery fixes and improvements Many community reported issues have been addressed in this update, alongside numerous fixes discovered during our own testing.Fixed issue with floating drill attachment display for clients (one of the oldest reported bugs)Fixed issue with character shadow duplicationFixed issue where automatic gearbox HUD was not displaying correctlyFixed dirt texture visibility issues from excavator cab viewFixed issue where players were able to walk outside the mapFixed issue where players could move company funds without the correct role permissionsFixed issue where trucks required extreme angles to unload dirt from the truck bedFixed bagger 681 conveyor animation issue when player exitsFixed issue where GPS did not save after game reloadFixed Item remains floating on cursor when inventory is closedFixed issue where load meter resets after game reloadFixed issue with rock trucks not shifting gears properlyFixed grader lights pointing correct directionsWhile Moivaara and this beta update represent a major milestone, there's still plenty more to come.
