Operators can now monitor their true processing strength with precision.

A new stats panel beneath the grid reveals your actual damage output, including:

• Overclock (crit) chance
  
• Fork (multihit) chance
  
• Min/Max damage with all bonuses applied
  
• Current clockspeed
  

These numbers are now derived from the exact same calculations used during actual processing, ensuring what you see is what you strike with.

The upgrade screen has also been enhanced to show your effective damage, replacing outdated base values.

Operators can now view live recursion gains directly in the interface. A dynamic number has been added next to the recursion button, showing exactly how many recursive credits will be earned upon reset. The value updates in real time as blocks are processed — no need to guess your payout again.

In addition, a visual bug affecting tier unlock requirements on small devices has been resolved. Text will now remain orderly, even in compact viewports.

Clarity enhanced. Compression stabilized. Proceed with confidence, operators.

The Operator Profile interface has been fully restructured with a sleek card-based layout, showcasing your DeepCo™ journey in clearer detail than ever.
We added each operators current ranking! Now you can inspect any operator and see how they rank — all in one display.

Furthermore - operators can now explore a dedicated Online View, accessible by clicking the live count in the header. See who’s currently active, their stats, and navigate directly to their profiles for benchmarking or silent judgment.

Profiles upgraded. Ego containment protocols remain active.

Operators seeking clarity may now enjoy a streamlined achievements view. A new "Hide completed achievements" option has been added to the Identity Panel settings. When enabled, only unclaimed and locked achievements are displayed — perfect for veteran operators focused on remaining targets. This setting is saved per operator and will persist across sessions.

ATTENTION OPERATORS // PRIORITY DIRECTIVE

Effective immediately, DeepCo™ has activated the Internal Messaging Array, a secure uplink designed to channel high-priority transmissions from Upper Management directly into operator terminals.

:: UPDATE SYNOPSIS ::

Autonomous Dispatch System:
The Messaging Array will now issue scheduled communiqués containing procedural updates, behavioral advisories, and internal memoranda deemed relevant to operator functionality.

Management Communication Protocols:
Select transmissions will originate from executive-level channels. Operators are advised to review these messages promptly and adjust compliance levels accordingly.

Clearance-Based Segmentation:
Content will vary by access tier. New operators will receive orientation briefings. Senior personnel may encounter deeper insight into departmental restructuring, efficiency mandates, and future compliance expectations.

Containment Advisory:
Transmissions are calibrated for internal digestion only. Redistribution beyond assigned terminals is not sanctioned. DeepCo™ trusts that no misinterpretations or unauthorized leaks will arise to damage the Corporation’s external standing.

Acknowledgment Protocol:
Special recognition is extended to Operator Doomy for exceptional contributions to system calibration and morale stabilization. Your compliance does not go unnoticed.

Obedience Enables Progress™

DeepCo™ has deployed a new fairness protocol for tile rewards. Operators now receive compensation based on their actual damage contribution to each tile, replacing the previous threshold-based system. This optimization ensures all operators receive proportional rewards for their efforts, significantly expanding the shared reward pool and strengthening grid support operations.

The revised damage-based distribution protocol maximizes operational efficiency through comprehensive performance monitoring. All operator contributions are now tracked, measured, and compensated according to precise productivity metrics. No effort escapes evaluation - every action is recorded, quantified, and rewarded proportionally to ensure optimal resource allocation and worker compliance.

Operational Improvements:

• Fixed compensation error affecting operators who delivered final strikes to tiles with not prior contribution
• Resolved queue mode visual interference during tile hovering
• Eliminated horizontal chat scroll disruption for improved communication flow
• Implemented 50-character operator name limit for system efficiency

DeepCo™ Systems — Fair compensation through precise damage accounting.

Recently DeepCo has been investigating on security and scaleability concerns. Today we had a breakthrough on some of these things and did a pure backend optimisation on the system.

The system should be much more reliable now. We implemented more thorough backup plans and strengthen the system security overall.

Mayor breakthrough on the DeepCo system side.

DeepCo™ Systems — Process. Together. Indefinitely.

Shadow Department Infrastructure: DeepCo™ has successfully deployed parallel department technology to optimize operator distribution and maximize throughput efficiency. The new Shadow Department Protocol introduces:

• Temporary Parallel Departments: Operators can now access shadow variants of their assigned departments, creating additional workspace capacity without compromising main department integrity

• Visual Department Indicator: The @ roster symbol now displays in green when shadow departments are available, providing immediate visual confirmation of expansion opportunities

• Flexible Operator Movement: All operators have unrestricted access to switch between main and shadow departments based on operational preferences and workload requirements

• Bonus Inheritance Protocol: All departmental bonuses automatically transfer to associated shadow departments, maintaining operational consistency and reward structures, this also means bonus only spawns in the main department, but caries out to all shadow

• Eternal Main Department Priority: While shadow departments provide temporary expansion capacity, only main departments persist through system cycles, ensuring operational continuity

Shadow departments appear and disappear based on operational demand, providing dynamic scaling for peak productivity periods. Operators maintain full autonomy over their workspace selection while benefiting from expanded mining territories.

DeepCo™ — Where even shadows contribute to the light of productivity. Parallel processing, optimized throughput.

DeepCo™ has deployed a messaging system to ensure optimal information flow. The new infrastructure supports:
- Banner Notifications: Critical system-wide announcements
- Modal Messages: Targeted individual communications requiring explicit acknowledgment to maintain operator awareness compliance
- Real-time Broadcasting: Instantaneous message delivery via Turbo Stream protocols

Remember: Clear communication leads to optimal throughput. Stay informed, stay productive.

We’ve added a new badge to your interface that shows how many tiles you’ve processed, and how many are needed to unlock the next department tier. This makes it easier to track your progress and set your next goal!

If you prefer a cleaner interface, you can turn this indicator off at any time in your Operator Settings panel.

this is all thanks to @Kawa-Chan's idea, thank you!

The Corporation is pleased to announce a significant advancement in operational efficiency. Our engineers have implemented Drag-to-Queue Technology, allowing operators to select multiple processing targets through a simple dragging motion across the grid interface.

This enhancement represents a 73% reduction in repetitive clicking motions, directly addressing productivity bottlenecks identified in our continuous surveillance monitoring systems. Key improvements include:

• Multi-tile Selection: Drag across any number of targets to queue them simultaneously
• Smart Filtering: The system automatically excludes compromised or already-processed sectors
• Mobile Compatibility: Full touch support for field operators using portable devices
• Batch Processing: Optimized server communications reduce network overhead by up to 85%

The drag selection interface provides real-time visual feedback, ensuring operators maintain situational awareness while maximizing throughput. Queue capacity limits are intelligently enforced to prevent resource allocation errors.

Testing indicates substantial improvements in operator satisfaction metrics, though mandatory participation in the productivity enhancement program remains non-negotiable.
