Rift Hauler: Crystal Miner

Drill your own shortcut through a crumbling island, fill your rover with crystals, and bring them home before the ground gives way. Drag anywhere to steer. Push into rock and the rover drills straight through it.

DRILL, HAUL, BANK

Crystal seams sit inside the rock. Break them open, pick up what spills out, and drive back to the gold pad to bank it. What you carry is at risk; what you bank is yours for good. A full load pays 20% more.

THREE ISLANDS, ONE CLOCK EACH

The Shatterfields, Ember Reach and The Last Shelf. Each island gives you 1:50 and a quota to bank before you can move on: 12 crystals, then 24, then 36. Every crystal past the quota is score. Leave it too late and the island closes with you still on it.

WATCH THE GROUND

The island breaks up from the edges in. Coral tiles are about to fall, steam vents charge up and burst, and falling debris lands inside the rings it casts first. A hit costs half the cargo you are carrying. Three hits end the expedition, but everything you have banked stays banked.

SIX MODULES

After your first deposit on each island, pick one upgrade for the rest of the expedition: Wide bit, Resonance, Tractor field, Compressor, Survey beacon or Return boost. Three islands, three picks, a different rover every run.

A DAILY EXPEDITION

The same three islands for everyone playing on the same day.
