Mineral Defense Patch Notes — July 21, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello Mineral Defenders!
The UI refactor has been 99% completed, the new build will be available within the next few days on a special beta branch for those who would like to test it early! There are just a few more bits that need polishing and improvements before it can be released.
This beta branch update may not include endless research options and the new enemy rifts - this is just to test the new UI scheme and the new hotkeys for using the build menu and abilities menu!
These changes also put forward the base work for both a controller usable UI, and touch screen usable UI, however these are not available yet.
Testable Changes:
New structure menu & ability menu. Press B and V to open and close these menus. When open, use the number keys 1-9 to select buttons entries in the menu, and use tab to switch between categories. The menus can still be used with the mouse like normal.
Brittle effect now has a chance to increase explosive damage.
The gambling animation of the supply cache is removed. Now the rewards will be immediately granted.
Resolution Scale now changeable as a percentage, helpful for boosting performance when needed or on high resolution displays.
Improved Options menu.
Improved Main Menu.
Improved Research Menu.
Generators can be upgraded.
Taser tower renamed to Volt Lance.
Font changed throughout the entire game.
Boss enemies are wearing crowns.
Enemy Death sound volume is halved.
