Book of Knowledge Wiki Miners Haven

The fourth Miner's Haven content update of 2020, officially titled "Reincarnation", was released on April 5th, 2020 at approximately 6:05 PM UTC following a live event showcasing the destruction and reincarnation of the game.

The update brought forth a major overhaul to the rebirth system with the redirecting of sources to obtain Reborn Fusions and Evolutions, cementing the presence of deities in the game with Superstitious items, and ushering in a wave of user-requested convenience changes, additions, and item balancing. Research Points were given a much broader impact on the game as well, having been integrated into the new rebirth system. It introduced more than 65 new items and is considered one of the biggest updates to the game.

Background

Andrew Berezaa, the creator and former developer of Miner's Haven, announced that he had released the game under the public domain on September 16th, 2019. In the same announcement, longtime MH submission curator OutOfOrderFoxy was revealed to be taking over as the new lead developer for the game. With the public release of Miner's Haven, submitter and developer TalonMidnight created his own mod, Miner's Haven: Project Stardust, which featured a fully functioning New Heights mechanic. Having recognized Talon's efforts to the mod, Berezaa hired him to work on the main game in October of 2019.

Having planned out the update in advance, OutOfOrderFoxy began to implement elements that were to be released in the Reincarnation Update in earlier updates, adding the Superstitious-tiered item Draedon's Gauntlet in the 2019 Halloween Event before giving away the item to various MH content creators to heighten anticipation for the update. Full-time development on the update began after the conclusion of end-of-year seasonal events with the 2020 Countdown Event.

To ease anxiety over the anticipation in relation to the update's release, two intermediary seasonal events were released in the months of February and March, coinciding with Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, respectively. The update was initially expected to be released in the month of March, but on March 18, the probable release date for Reincarnation was announced for April 4-5 via a tweet from OutOfOrderFoxy.

Live Event

A catastrophic volcanic eruption occurred on the old Haven at 6:00PM UTC, which resulted in a hailstorm of meteors, leaving craters littered across the map. The dried-up river soon filled up with lava. With the entire island in crisis, The Craftsman's tower began to project a forcefield to protect itself, before launching out into outer space. From where the tower once stood, a massive explosion happened not long later, destroying what was left of the Haven.

Following the live event, the game cuts to black with the words "THE ISLAND WAS DESTROYED. Your reincarnation begins now." with the update's mini-logo. A developer-mandated server shutdown would come seconds later.

Upon rejoining the game, it was revealed that the live event was orchestrated from Vulcan's petty rage, and caused him to destroy the entire game. However, the Lord of the Haven did not think that this was fair to the miners and would end up using his powers to restore the Haven, along with the miners' factories.

Changelog

General

With the loss of the previous map to a catastrophic volcanic eruption, a new map has been introduced.
- Among the casualties are Iron Mine Man, Talking Blue Tree, Iron Mine-Chan, the Snowman, and the Parasite. They will be remembered dearly.
- A new text-based intro plays at the start of the game, detailing what happened during the Live Event.
- The map will feature a large cave filled with glowing mushrooms, titled the Sporest.
The GUI has been changed, reverting back to a style introduced in The Ultimate Update.
New tiers: Superstitious, Advanced Evolution, Advanced Fusion
- Advanced Evolutions are evolved forms of Advanced Reborns, only obtainable after performing The Ultimate Sacrifice.
- Advanced Fusions (fusion between two Advanced Reborns or one Advanced Reborn and one normal Reborn) and Superstitious items will be obtainable after performing The Second Sacrifice.
- Superstitious items will be crafted much like Enchanted-tier items. This is the most powerful item tier in the game.
A new NPC merchant was introduced, specializing in assisting players in crafting Superstitious items.
A new option in Settings will allow cash to be displayed in scientific notation, instead of in suffixes.
Ore Limit is now adjustable in Settings. (This feature was planned but not added for unknown reasons)
The Crate Merchant/Spook McDook has received an overhaul:
- McDook has adopted a new appearance.
- He now resides in his own shop.
- McDook still gives out daily boxes, but will now also function as a Mystery Box shop. He sells every type of Mystery Box in the game except for Magnificent and Heavenly Boxes for uC, as well as selling Crate Storms for Robux. He also sells Lucky Clovers for uC.
  - The Masked Man will, therefore, discontinue selling any Boxes, Clovers, or Crate Storms.
Spectral Boxes:
- Now has a 2% chance of opening into a Heavenly Box.
- Will no longer cost Shards of Life to purchase, instead requiring uC.
Heavenly Boxes now guarantees a vintage or exotic currently available in Mystery Boxes. This includes the exotic Iron Mine, however, it will no longer be the only item obtainable from Heavenly Boxes.
Private Island themes can now be selected at the load screen. Along with the regular Haven and Mars islands, Void, Sporest, and Executive islands are introduced. Void & Executive islands are always on night time, meaning night-oriented items such as Lunar Refiner will constantly remain active.
- Sporest island is unlocked after Second Sacrifice
- Void island is unlocked with "The Void" badge
- Executive island is unlocked with the purchase of Executive Membership
Placing adjustments:
- Multi-placing:
  - Will now persist after the initial placement, given if there are a sufficient number of to-be-placed items remaining in the player's inventory.
  - Hydraulic items' height will now translate to platforms individually, instead of as a group.
- Items can now cross over between platform-to-platform.
Mobile players can now favorite items by holding down the item in their inventory.

Rebirth

The Craftsman has adopted a new business model!

Decimal Rarity Rebirth items will now function more like the way fusions used to be obtained.
- The base chance for getting a Decimal Rarity Reborn is 0.5%.
- Your chances to get a Decimal Rarity Reborn item will increase upon skipping lives, up to a maximum of 2% when skipping 20 lives.

Shards of Life will no longer be Sacrifice-Proof.
Rebirth for earlier lives has slightly increased difficulty.
- Lives 1-40 will now start adding $25Qn each rebirth, scaling up to $1sx at life 40. Past this point, the rebirth prices return to their old scaling method.

Bugs

Plasma Scanner's upgrade part stays in the center.
When loading setups, sometimes some items don't get placed due to bad collision with other items.
Hotkeys break upon death.

Trivia

"Reincarnation" and "rebirth" are synonyms, which signifies the fact that the Reincarnation Update focuses more on rebirthing and its mechanisms.
This is planned to be the biggest update that was not made by Berezaa.
The item stats for all of the items that have been tweaked can be viewed in this document.
