■ What is Keep Digging Version 2.0?
This is a massive free update that rebuilds the game systems and map from the ground up, based on the original Keep Digging.
In this update, the game systems have been redesigned as a survival crafting game focused on digging. We have added many survival-crafting elements, including a completely new procedurally generated 5000m-deep map, an inventory system, tool crafting, forging, the smelter, and enchantments.
There are more than 350 new items. New emotes with special effects, costumes such as samurai and gorilla outfits, and more have also been added, greatly expanding the fun of digging, bringing items back, crafting, and upgrading.
We have also made many quality-of-life updates, including gamepad support, shortcut key support, added graphics settings, support for additional languages such as German, and Steam Deck 60 FPS support.

In Version 2.0, the item system has been greatly overhauled.
