Derrick Final Extraction Level Behavior

Derricks now stop firing at the final extraction level according to the 1.0.1 notes. A stopped firing action at that final stage can be the intended result, rather than a machine-service failure. Read the rig’s stage before replacing parts or buying another upgrade. The announcement does not define an exact final depth or say that every stopped Derrick has reached the final stage.

Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.

SHIFT BRIEF

Quick facts

  • The patch ties the stopping behavior to the final extraction level.
  • It supplies no universal final depth.
  • A stop at an earlier level is a separate symptom.
  • Machine maintenance remains distinct from stage completion.
CURRENT FIELD NOTES

What to record if it still happens

For derrick final extraction level behavior, keep the observation narrow: the installed version, affected object, state before the action and result afterward. A screenshot can establish a displayed requirement; a short clip is better for a routing or timing problem. Separate what you saw from what you think caused it. The checks above organize a report and do not claim to repair a save.

FIELD SEQUENCE

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Confirm the starting point

    Read the active Derrick’s extraction stage.

  2. 02

    Check the relevant condition

    If it is final, compare the stop with the patch’s intended behavior.

  3. 03

    Make the comparison

    If it is not final, inspect the visible machine warning and connections.

  4. 04

    Verify the outcome

    Record stage and symptom before reporting a final-level regression.
