THE MORE BEAUTIFUL UPDATE IS HERE!

Ore Tycoon 2’s More Beautiful Update truly is more beautiful than The Beautiful Update by continuing the series of long-awaited and overdue quality-of-life and user experience improvements that the latter has started!

This update brings new features and further redesigns to the table, such as the Loading Screen, the Notifications, and the Item Search/Sort/Filter.

The More Beautiful Update Patch Notes

Additions

  • :sun_with_face: Summer is here with the new Summer items in both the Catalog and the Mystery Bags!
    • Tons of new Summer-themed items have been added to both the Catalog and Mystery Bags, with some being exclusive to one!
    • A new Rentable item has been added: the Speed Coil!
  • :computer:New Loading Screen for your eyes! Never has slow internet become so satisfying.
  • :bell: Introducing the ALL-NEW Notifications! You’ll now be notified through this feature if you’ve met the requirements for Researching, if you just unlocked a not-so-obvious item to purchase in your Refinery, if you need a certain item or level to purchase the next refinery item, if you’ve just obtained an achievement, or if there’s a very important Global System Message!
    • Don’t want to be notified about tips? You can disable them by disabling Game Tips from the settings.
  • :mag_right:Find your favorite items instantly with the all-new Search / Sort / Filter features!
    • Looking for your ultra-amazingly-epic Banhammer? With the new Item Search feature, you can find and equip your favorite items faster than you can say the words “plant plz release Bag Hunt 2020 now”!
    • Sort your items with the new Item Sorting! Want to sort your items alphabetically, or by the date it was added in-game? No problem! The Inventory Sorting feature got you covered. :wink:
    • Filter your items based on their equip status or other attributes with the new Item Filter.
    • The best part? This feature is now LIVE for both the Catalog and the Inventory! :partying_face:
  • :microscope: Added a new Science Item: The Metal Deoxidizer! Using new technology, the metal polisher now both polishes AND deoxidizes all ores that pass through it, resulting in higher cash value.
  • :lipstick: More items receive a nice facelift from the Official Submitters!
    • The Turquoise and Amethyst Mines have been revamped by KanoZ
    • The Sunstone Mine has been remade by yugum2009 and veerakorn884
  • :sailboat:Seamless Island transitions!
  • :desert_island:Go Solo Mode instantly upon joining servers with the new “Remember my choice” option for Solo Mode! With this new option selected, you’ll no longer need to press a lot of buttons every time you play Ore Tycoon 2 just to go Solo.
  • :woman_technologist:As always, new codes have been added! Redeem the code “BeautifulUpdate2” for 750 Tycoon Bux.
    • :ear:We hear you—joe code now added. This is not a drill. Redeem the code “joe” to get a limited-edition joe-themed item! Only 1337 copies were made, so be quick!
  • Added global broadcast muting for Moderators

    • The Inventory and Catalog screens have been heavily revamped!
    • The Item Names for icons have been replaced with Tooltips! They’re wayyyy prettier and cooler.
    • Changed a lot of icons and images used in-game to match the style of other icons!
    • Changed the Research & Settings color schemes
    • Changed a few settings designs
    • Shadows of the left side buttons are now darker shades of the button color instead of gray
    • Shop Interface will no longer appear upon joining
    • Pressing Enter key on the code box will now redeem the code
    • Chat now uses Gotham font for font consistency
    • Redesigned the Research icons
      • Level and Price are now separated into two lines
      • “LVL” text now back
      • New color scheme
      • Removed the upgrade names from the icons
    • Cheat Research & First Research prompts now use Gotham
    • Tooltips will now appear when you hover on Catalog/Inventory icons!
    • The purchase button will now say “RENT” instead of “PURCHASE” for Rentable items.
    • Purchased items in the catalog will no longer go to the bottommost part
    • Rent Items and Cash Boosts now go on the bottommost part of the Catalog

  • You will now spawn on the Island Refinery again upon joining if you own the Island Expansion
  • Your Mechanical upgrader charge will now be saved regardless of battery upgrade level
    • Upon joining, your mech upgrade charge will be determined by the upgrader’s charge before you left, how long it has been since you left the game, and your battery upgrade level. If you had a charge of 3 hours and left for 3 hours before coming back, but your battery level is Level 1 (30 minutes max charge), the charge of your upgrader will be 30 minutes. If you had a charge of 1 hour, left for 5 minutes, and have a battery level of Level 1, your upgrader charge will be 55 minutes.
    • This means that your mechanical upgrader charge will now save even if PlantChampion just randomly decides to restart every server in existence. Hooray! (Not for the restart that launches this update though! Sad)
    • Researching will now reset your mechanical upgrader charge to 0 regardless of battery upgrade level
  • Ore Worth Filter maximum suffix raised to DD
  • The Snowy Gravity Coil (and all other gravity coils) now have their pre-Beautiful Update Gravity Reduction effect instead of a plain jump boost effect again. You’re welcome.

  • Game will now omit newlines in Broadcasts
  • Game will now omit starting and trailing spaces in Feedbacks and Broadcasts
  • Teams are now assigned upon joining instead of upon loading the Refinery. This means that the team color will no longer be refreshed when you Research.
