[SIZE=5]Mining Rebalance: Planet & Space[/SIZE]
Planet mining and space mining have been rebalanced to complement each other rather than compete for the same markets. Planet mining now focuses more on planet-side resources and crafting chains, while space mining is geared toward space-specific materials and applications.
There is still overlap between the two - some resources are needed across both domains - but each now has a clearer identity and purpose.
Additionally, new and more powerful space mining lasers have been added, along with a range of new laser attachments including damage amplifiers, decay absorbers, and more. Blueprints for the new equipment are available through loot drops and the vendor at Howling Mine.

MindArk and the Planet Partners strive to ensure a smooth and problem-free Version Update. Nevertheless, even after extensive testing some issues may arise after release. Such issues are often addressed via mini-patches directly after a release and in subsequent patches. If you feel that the possibility of encountering minor issues or bugs directly after a Version Update affects your gameplay to an extent that Entropia Universe is not enjoyable, please wait until the mini-patches have been released and any last minute issues have been resolved.
