Good afternoon, dwarves.

Now that the holidays are winding down, and the next semester starts anew, let's talk upcoming content!

This update will mark a shift in upgrades and when they're obtained. Upgrades will now be restricted to only a couple of stages of progression. For example, the M1000, obtained at the end of pre-Hardmode, will only remain relevant until the mechanical bosses. This design is going to encourage new weapons to be added to fill in progression gaps, and also ties nicely with the overclock system.

Overclocks function as the sixth tier to upgrades, unlocked when at least one upgrade in each tier has been purchased. In order to get an overclock, 1 Matrix Core will be inserted into a special slot inside the upgrade menu. The crafting menu will request some specific ingredients, the matrix core will be consumed, and a random overclock will be permanently unlocked.

Unlike in Deep Rock Galactic, overclocks are obtained at the weapon. Additionally, the overclock list will be relatively small, meaning it will take at most 3-5 tries to get a desired overclock.

Expect the update by the end of the month. Rock and stone
