Patch v1.0.7
2025-09-14 23:58 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
Minor patch to improve logging which should help resolve current and future issues.
Use your customisable super-drill to carve your way through procedurally generated asteroids to reveal the riches within. Use your new wealth to buy upgrades for even faster destruction! But be careful - failure to make a profit for Star Mining Co. will terminate your contract, and YOU, permanently!

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Update Notes for v1.0.6 - Freezing issues fixed!
2025-06-02 00:10 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
I think we might have done it! Thanks to some very helpful bug reports from you all, I think I've sorted out the issues where the game was freezing when going to the messages screen and visiting asteroids. The issue was to do with Windows scaling factors and pixel densities wrecking havoc on some internal graphics objects (boring technical stuff). I've made some changes and from my testing this should now be resolved! Please let me know if you're still having any issues with it and I'll try to get it sorted ASAP! Happy mining!
Update Notes for v1.0.5
2025-06-01 07:22 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
This update mostly focuses on improved logging to let me get to the bottom of the issues you have all been reporting. Along with this, the issues around accessing the messages screen should now be fixed. I want to say a massive THANK YOU to you all for taking the time to report issues and send in your log files, it's incredibly helpful to me, since I cannot reproduce most of these issues on my end, so the log file is all I have to go off. If you run into any issues, try turning "Fancy Graphics" off in the settings, and if you're still having a problem, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Update Notes for v1.0.4 (Fullscreen scaling issue fixed!)
2025-05-21 08:20 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
Some more fixes, balancing, and quality of life! If you were having issues with the scaling in full screen mode - this update should fix it! (Please let me know if it doesn't!) This update includes: Full screen scaling issue fix (as mentioned) The ability to purchase circuit modifiers from the merchant More particle performance boosts Made it more obvious that you can upgrade components at the mechanic Minor bug fixes Thank you all, again so much for playing my little game! I hope you enjoy the update!
Update Notes for v1.0.3
2025-05-20 04:11 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
Another little update with some more bug fixes and quality of life improvements. This update includes: Massive improvements to tooltips Balanced upgrades Added some helpful reminders while setting up your drill (a warning now appears if an effect has no input, and a multiplier's output directions are hopefully more obvious too) Minor bug fixes I know some of you are having issues with full-screening. I'm still investigating this issue as I can't get it to reproduce on any of my machines. Just know that I'm working on it and will try to get it fixed as soon as possible! Thank you all so much fo
Update Notes for v1.0.2
2025-05-18 01:58 UTC · Community Announcements · Barney
After a big influx of new players from Drae's video (which was a completely unexpected and totally wonderful surprise!), a number of new bugs were found. This update hopes to address most of these issues, as well as add some quality of life features! This update includes: Fixed crash after upgrading bombs Improved particle handling so BIG drills don't slow the game down too much Added hot-key info into bomb tool-tips Tweaked some info-panels/tool-tips to fit the screen real estate better Thank you all so much for playing the game, leaving feedback and taking the time to report bugs! I really a
