- Community News - Introducing the Out of Ore Player Help Center - 17 September 2026
Hello everyone!Over time, we have continued looking at different ways to improve communication between the team and the community. One area we have wanted to improve for a while now is bug reporting and how we communicate with players after a report has been submitted.We receive a lot of bug reports and feedback through Steam, Discord, email and other places. While these reports are extremely helpful, quite often some of the information needed to properly investigate an issue is missing. This can be anything from the game version or steps to reproduce the issue, to screenshots, save files, crash files or simply a way for us to contact the original reporter and ask for more information.Because of this, we have been working on a new system to make the whole process easier for both players and the team.All reports submitted through the previous system are still there and have not disappear…

- Beta Update V0.36! - 10 September 2026
Hello everyone!We are back with a new Beta update, and this time we have three new additions for you to try out: Auto Level, Flexible Conveyors and Manlifts!With these additions, we are looking to make some everyday tasks a little easier, from keeping a consistent ground level, to putting together production lines and reaching those harder to access areas around your mine sites and buildings.Alongside the new features, V0.36 also brings further performance improvements, adjustments and fixes across the game.We are continuing to work through other reported issues and feedback as well. Not everything that has been reported is included in this update, as some areas affect larger parts of the gameplay and need more time and attention than a quick fix (such as economy, camera modes, vehicle behavior and more ).
