Hello!
It's been a little while since my last blog, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been busy behind the scenes.
You may have noticed a small change to The Crystal Mines - there's now a Rusty Pickaxe that you can pick up in there if you've forgotten your Stone or Gold Picks. It's not very good, so you should still take your own in, but before this change it was too punishing for new Raid players on the first run. Don't worry if you've remembered your own: the Rusty Pickaxe does not override your better pickaxes.
We've also pushed a number of bug fixes to the Crystal Exchange. You can no longer open the purchase screen for the craftable items if you don't have all of the required items. The page will also now select two separate crystals in the different dropdowns instead of picking the same item in both and just generally being confusing.
I've just finished making a new Wasteland Objective - the Radiation Scrubber.
It will reduce the Exposure of the gang that controls it by 1% per minute for 60 minutes. It can be used every 12 hours. It will swap to reducing the exposure of whichever gang controls it, so be prepared to fight over it! It also needs no power to use, so it's available for every gang. If you have feedback on this objective, head over to my thread in Suggestions and we can chat about it there.
You might have seen a few new attachment slots recently... The upgrades that fill them have gone live!

"Special thank you to GAG & Bob for the GFX contributions for this update.

"Tyran?! Ooooooooooh boi"
Larry
"Thanks for all the continued updates. It’s been my experience that if you pickup the rusty pick you will get worse ore drops even if you have a stone pick"
Larry
"So I avoid it even if that means missing out on some ore due to placement. I’ve always had a better yield on runs where I avoid picking up the rusty pick"
Pie
"The chance for mining an ore when you have the Rusty Pickaxe is 25%. So you'd get 12-13 ores on average if that pick was being used. It's a lot worse and would be a very noticable drop in ores."
Albel
"I have not had the same experience with the rusty pick - no noticeable change to ore collection when obtaining it in a run with stone pick in inventory"
GAGANB
"Enjoy all the new content
