It is also worth mentioning that a few types of '''E.G.O''' can now be used to mine, such as Regret and Rime Shank. | |||
One should be cautious around regions with denser rubble, as these tiles each have a '''risk level''' that determines the time to dig them. This risk level will also determine the difficulty of random events, potentially spawning powerful enemies that threaten your agents. | One should be cautious around regions with denser rubble, as these tiles each have a '''risk level''' that determines the time to dig them.
