Summary (AI)
Patch 1.1 for Chipmatic rebalances the drill so all ores now take 60 seconds to mine, with adjusted quantities to keep output consistent. Tile hardness increases per tier have been reduced, allowing faster mining in late-game stages. Smelter speed upgrades have been boosted for greater efficiency, and Steel Rod crafting time has been nearly halved. The Steel Ingot recipe now uses Iron Ore instead of Iron Ingot to free up smelter slots, and the Nuclear Reactor requires Uranium Cells instead of Uranium to reflect its intended difficulty. Several fixes include expandable base inventory underground, prevention of building UI access while paused, and improved gamepad support with new icons and inventory compatibility.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
  • Lowered Steel Rod base crafting time from 15 seconds to 8 seconds.
