Category:New Heights Update

"'Introducing... Miner's Haven New Heights! The most anticipated base building update is finally upon us, multi-level placing and hydraulic items (height expandable and retractable items), what more could you ask for?'"

The New Heights Update is an upcoming major update to Miner's Haven, expected to be released by mid-November of 2019.

This update will introduce item verticality to Miner's Haven, as well as shaking up the stars system even further.

Background
This update was notable for being stuck in development hell for a year. Originally announced in 2018, development was repeatedly held back by commitments to other projects, such as Vesteria. Those commitments would ultimately result in the cancellation of the update, and the cancellation of Miner's Haven entirely.

However, in September 2019, Berezaa released Miner's Haven under the public domain, allowing anyone to build their own sandbox tycoon game under the condition that no robux is being made under the Miner's Haven name. Notably, TalonMidnight developed his own mod based on the unreleased New Heights Update (if you want to experience it, click here). Berezaa was impressed with Midnight's work on the mod, and eventually hired him to work on the main game by the 2019 Halloween Event.

TalonMidnight was going to bring the update to the main game by mid-november of 2019, as shown in a Tweet.
