The Pickaxe Update! Part 1
A changelist for Prison Box.
🎁 Added
- - Pickaxes you can own and equip. Each equipped pickaxe boosts your mining upgrades.
- - The Vault (/vault): a new panel to view and equip the pickaxes you own. Auras, cosmetics, effects, and pets are previewed there as coming soon.
- - Ore Codex milestones now reward real pickaxes, not just shards. Every ore has its own signature pickaxe to chase.
- - The Apex: catalog every ore in the Codex to claim the ultimate pickaxe, the one that pushes your upgrades beyond their normal maximum.
- - A server-wide announcement now fires when a player claims The Apex Pickaxe.
- - Your equipped pickaxe now shows on your character for other players to see.
🧼 Improved
- - Retuned the endgame rank requirements (Sovereign, Untouchable, Mythic) to better match real mining pace.
- - Overhauled the Luck upgrade's cost curve, keeping it from trivializing the climb.
- - Recalibrated Ore Codex milestone targets to real mining speed.
- - Hovering an ore in the Codex now shows exactly what each milestone rewards, including pickaxe bonuses.
- - The upgrade menu now shows the bonus your equipped pickaxe adds to each upgrade.
⚠️ Known Issues
- - Some pickaxe icons are still placeholders while final art is in progress.
