I will never not-upvote a good FAKARL!

Hi Miners,

Thanks to everybody for the feedback, both on the Experimental build, but also in general for the expectations for Update 25. This update is by far our biggest yet, and it even grew so big that we had to chop it up into two updates. This has created some confusion, questions, and speculations on what the experience will be and specifically for how to get the Overclocks. To sort this out, we’ve created a FAQ just on the topics around Deep Dives and Overclocks.

So Update 25 is not the complete Endgame?
In short: no. It’s more like Endgame: Part 1.

Update 25 will not release with the complete system for giving out Matrix Core rewards. Specifically, it will not include Blank Matrix Cores and Machine Events, which will be part of Update 26. Therefore, the total amount of rewards for Deep Dives is a bit less until Update 26 releases.
The time from Update 25 to Update 26 should be considered a transition phase, where you’ll be able to ge... Read more

That was great, thanks!

Is that at the end of the current survey? We usually do one per release, but that part hasn't been updated, apparently.

I played a game with one of the devs. The only person they acknowledged in the room was the dude who had the paid extra vanity armour. Kinda made me feel bad low key because I've over 300 hours in game.

To be fair, that dude was wearing his super-secret support club badge. We love all of you equally. I promise.

Nah, he's just not on Discord. :D

Sounds like an easy solution at first, but that actually takes a bit of work to implement mechanically and lorewise it’s a bit weird. We might re-add it at some point, but it’s up to the designers in the end.

Where are all these people that wanted new shouts...Discord? Because I don’t recall any recent thread here where someone was requesting more unless it was over a year ago.

It’s been a recurring request from many players, and is a natural thing for us to do alongside adding more content to the game.

Thank you and Pedro for your replies. Is this a confirmation that weekly promoted assignments and/or treasure chests can provide cores? Are treasure chests available during normal missions, meaning it's possible to earn new cosmetics and mods at a very low (RNG-based) rate outside of Deep Dives?

If so, I'm okay with the new system. I'd still rather be able to play randomized Deep Dives any time, but if that's the only thing completely locked behind the weekly timer (along with the leaderboard), that's reasonable. I get that you guys want to create something that might introduce competition, which draws in more players, meta-theorists, speedrunners, etc., which is fine— I'm sure plenty of players will welcome that aspect of the new content. It's just that locking so much content behind time-gated assignments that makes this all so sour; no one wants their regular missions to feel like a waste of time compared to those two or three hours a week when the exclusive rewards are ...

Can confirm that assignments and chests will give cores, and the system will be expanded upon with the Machine Events in Update 26. Treasure chests are available only during normal missions, and are rare. We're still in Early Access, so we're listening to any and all feedback and taking it into consideration. Edit: I basically repeated most of what I said originally. Should have checked that first. :D

Didn't they just use this feature in the promo where they blew up a bunch of crystals? That's weird.

You were supposed to focus on the damage, not the tool.

Didn't they say it was a bug in experimental?

Not a bug. The damage stacked and made it too powerful against dreadnoughts. It might return, but for now it's out.

I' m reading all the comments to this post... u/gsg_jacob what do you think? (edit: I mean what do you think of all the feedback you're getting here -- seems like many people feel the overclocks are underwhelming for now...)

We're reading and listening.

The base idea is that no overclock should objectively be bad. Subjectively, people will have preferences and opinions - not much to do about that. IMO, you can reduce everything to flat out numeric value, but the most important thing is how you'd use it. The PGL nuke will give you fewer uses, but it might be useful in other situations. Overall you'd kill fewer bugs, but it could be handy in choke points.
The way the overclocks are ordered are Clean, Balanced, and Unstable - the latter having the most radical changes, but also more drawbacks. I have some I'd definitely use, and others I wouldn't, depending on my own playstyle, but I'll definitely play around with it some more.
It's a work in progress, so we'll keep adjusting data and numbers where need be.

How do you summon a designer, is there like a ritual? Do I need a braided beard soaked in the blood of a short person?

Something like that, but now I did the legwork. "The damage of the charge was tweaked to be the most powerful explosion in the game. Stacking that damage in one area wasn’t intended and it removes the challenge from fighting some kinds of enemies."

That's actually intentional, but you'll need to summon a designer to tell you why.
