Frequently Asked Questions

A Land Expedition is a mining run on a plot of land in the expedition grid. You select a plot, pick a tool NFT to deploy, and the expedition runs for a set duration. When time is up, you return to claim your rewards — including tokens and potentially an NFT drop.

Each expedition consumes durability from your tool. The higher your tool's speed and luck stats, the more you earn and the better your NFT chances.

The grid has four biomes, each with a unique affinity bonus that activates based on your tool's stats:

Biome	Affinity Bonus	Requirement	What it means for you
Crystal	NFT chance +15%	Tool luck ≥ 5	Equip your highest-luck tools here to maximize NFT drop odds.
Ember	Token rewards +20%	Tool speed ≥ 5	Use your fastest tools here to boost your HRT, STARBITS, and HASH earnings.
Aqua	50% chance to save durability	Always active	No stat check — every expedition in Aqua has a 50% chance to consume zero durability. Great for preserving expensive tools.
Void	All rewards +30%	Always active	High risk, high reward. Void works on all tools regardless of stats, boosting both tokens and NFT chance by 30%.

Tip: A biome affinity is marked by a special label next to the biome name in the plot details panel. Always check which biome a plot belongs to before deploying!

Some plots are special variants with boosted rewards:

• Rich — A golden plot with a guaranteed 2× multiplier on all token and NFT rewards. Marked with a gold badge and border. A safe bet for high returns.
• Unstable — A volatile plot with a random 1.25×–5× multiplier rolled at expedition start. Visually distinct with a pulsing purple aura. High risk, high reward — you might hit 5× or only get 1.25×!

Both variants stack with biome affinity bonuses and adjacency bonuses for truly massive payouts.

Tip: Look for gold or purple badges on grid tiles to spot variant plots at a glance.

The Adjacency Bonus rewards you for running multiple expeditions on the same biome within the same adjacency zone. For each other active expedition on the same biome in that zone, your rewards get a +5% boost.

This bonus applies to both token and NFT rewards, and it stacks additively per adjacent expedition:

Adjacency Multiplier = 1.0 + (number of same-biome zone neighbours × 0.05)

Same-biome neighbours	Adjacency Multiplier	Example
0	1.00× (no bonus)	Running solo — no neighbours
1	1.05× (+5%)	One other expedition on the same biome + zone
2	1.10× (+10%)	Three Crystal expeditions all in a LIMITLESS zone
3	1.15× (+15%)	Four Ember expeditions all in a STARBITS zone
4	1.20× (+20%)	Five Void expeditions all in a SWAP.HIVE zone

The bonus is bidirectional — every expedition in the cluster benefits from every other. It is calculated at claim time based on which expeditions are still active, so the bonus can decrease if neighbours finish early.

Tip: Each zone is marked by a colored currency badge on plot tiles and in the plot details panel. Concentrate your expeditions on multiple plots that share both the same biome and the same zone for the biggest combined multiplier!

Each plot belongs to a Currency Zone — LIMITLESS, STARBITS, HASHSCORE, or SWAP.HIVE — visible as a colored badge on the tile. Every plot always mines LIMITLESS plus one zone-specific currency — LIMITLESS zones also earn LIMITLESSX, STARBITS zones earn STARBITS, SWAP.HIVE zones earn SWAP.HIVE, and HASHSCORE zones earn HASHSCORE. Non-matching currencies are zeroed out at claim time.

Tip: Check the zone badge in plot details and on the grid legend to see which currency a plot mines before deploying. Concentrating expeditions in zones that match your preferred currency is key to an efficient strategy!

All bonuses multiply together for huge potential earnings:

Token Multiplier = Biome Affinity × Plot Variant × Adjacency Bonus
NFT Multiplier = Biome Affinity × Plot Variant × Adjacency Bonus

Example: An Ember plot (affinity +20%) with Rich variant (×2) and 3 adjacent same-biome expeditions (+10%) gives:

1.20 × 2.0 × 1.10 = 2.64× total token multiplier!

Each plot has a pool of possible NFT rewards — a set of NFT templates that can drop from that plot. The pool varies by plot tier and biome.

When you claim an expedition, the game checks your NFT probability — a percentage chance displayed in the expedition details. If you succeed, a random NFT from the plot's reward pool is minted and sent to your inventory.

• Base NFT chance is determined by the plot tier and biome.
• Tool luck increases your NFT drop chance — each point of luck gives a percentage bonus to the base rate.
• Biome affinity (Crystal +15%), plot variant (×2), and adjacency bonuses all further boost NFT probability.

You can view the possible NFT rewards for any plot by selecting it on the grid — the reward pool is shown in the plot details panel.

You need a Tool NFT to start an expedition. Each tool has:

• Speed — Determines how many tokens you earn per minute. Higher speed = more tokens.
• Luck — Determines your chance of getting an NFT drop. Higher luck = better odds.
• Durability — Each expedition consumes durability equal to the plot's durability requirement. If your tool doesn't have enough durability, you can't deploy it.

When you start an expedition, the game snapshots your tool's current speed and luck stats, so changing equipment mid-expedition doesn't affect a run in progress.

Tip: In the Aqua biome, durability has a 50% chance to be preserved — making it the best place to deploy high-value tools you want to last longer.

Fighters are optional NFT companions that you can assign to an expedition alongside your tool. They provide bonus percentages to your tool's mining speed and luck based on their stats. If you don't assign a fighter, you can still start an expedition — they are purely a power-up.

Each fighter has three core stats that contribute to expedition bonuses:

Fighter Stat	Contributes To	Formula
Attack	Mining speed bonus	+attack% added to speed
Defense	Luck bonus	+defense% added to luck
Speed	Both speed and luck	+speed% added to both

The combined bonuses are calculated as:

Fighter bonuses per stat point:

Stat	Bonus per point	Applies to
⚔ Attack	0.03%	Speed
🛡 Defense	0.17%	Luck
⚡ Speed	0.05%	Both

For example, a fighter with 50 Attack and 30 Speed gives +2.9% speed and +1.5% luck to your tool.

How to assign a fighter:

1. Select a plot and open the Start Expedition panel.
2. Below the tool selector, you'll see the Fighter Slot showing "Assign a fighter (optional)".
3. Click the slot to open the Fighter Select modal, which shows all your available fighters in a paginated grid.
4. Click on a fighter card to select it. The slot updates immediately, showing the fighter's name, stats (Attack, Defense, Speed), and the calculated +X% speed and +X% luck bonuses.

Important details:

• A fighter can only be assigned to one expedition at a time. If a fighter is already in use on another expedition, it shows an "In use" label and cannot be selected.
• Fighter stats are snapshotted at expedition start — upgrading your fighter mid-run has no effect on an active expedition.
• On the Active Expeditions tab, expeditions with a fighter assigned display a fighter info row showing Fighter #ID — X.X X.X X.X.
• Fighter bonuses stack with all other multipliers: biome affinity, plot variant, and adjacency bonuses.

Tip: Pair a high-Attack fighter with the Ember biome (which rewards high speed) for maximum token output. Pair a high-Defense fighter with Crystal (which rewards high luck) to maximize your NFT drop chances. Since Speed contributes to both bonuses, fighters with high Speed are universally valuable.

Managers are RisingStar "People" NFTs that you can equip to boost all your expeditions globally. Unlike fighters which are per-plot, a single manager benefits every expedition you run.

Bonuses by rarity:

Rarity	Mining Rate Bonus	Durability Bonus
Common	+3%	—
Uncommon	+5%	—
Rare	+7%	+5%
Epic	+10%	+7%
Legendary	+15%	+10%

Slots:

• Slot 1 — Free and unlocked for everyone.
• Slots 2–5 — Locked, can be purchased with STARBITS.
• Each slot holds one manager at a time. Bonuses from all unlocked slots stack.

Fatigue system:

• Managers build fatigue while equipped (60 fatigue per hour, max 100).
• Unequipping a fatigued manager triggers a cooldown (1 minute per fatigue level).
• While on cooldown, the manager cannot be re-equipped.
• Use Rest to send an exhausted manager on a 3-hour rest (sets fatigue to max, manager is locked for 3 hours).
• Use Instant Rest for 100,000 STARBITS to skip the rest period immediately.

Important details:

• Managers cannot be equipped or unequipped while any expedition is active.
• A manager can only be equipped in one slot at a time.
• Manager bonuses are global — they apply to all expeditions simultaneously, not per-plot.
• Higher rarity = bigger bonuses, but the fatigue system applies equally regardless of rarity.
• Managers are fetched from the Hive-Engine blockchain in real-time. Make sure your Hive account is connected.

Tip: Even a Common manager (+3% mining rate) is free passive income across all your expeditions. Equip your best manager in Slot 1 and consider unlocking more slots for stacking bonuses!

Your base capacity starts at 3 simultaneous expeditions. You can purchase extra slots using LIMITLESS or STARBITS tokens to increase your capacity.

To buy extra slots, click the Buy Slot button on the Active Expeditions tab. The price increases with each additional slot purchased.

Running more expeditions simultaneously means more tokens and more NFT chances per hour!

Starting:

1. Navigate the Expedition Grid tab and click on an available plot tile.
2. Review the plot details (biome, tier, duration, variant, expected rewards).
3. Click Start Expedition and pick a tool NFT to deploy.
4. Confirm — the expedition begins and appears in the Active Expeditions tab.

Claiming:

1. Switch to the Active Expeditions tab.
2. When an expedition's timer reaches zero, it becomes Ready.
3. Click Claim on the expedition card. Rewards are credited instantly.
4. If an NFT drops, it's minted and sent to your Inventory page.

Tip: Use the Claim All button when multiple expeditions are ready to save time!

While an expedition is active, you'll see real-time estimates of how many tokens you've earned so far and your current NFT probability. These are calculated using:

• Your tool's snapshotted speed (locked at expedition start)
• The base token rates for the plot's tier
• Biome affinity multipliers (Ember +20%, Void +30%)
• Plot variant multipliers (Rich/Unstable ×2)
• Adjacency bonuses from other expeditions in the same biome and zone

The estimates update every second so you can watch your earnings grow in real time.

The World Map tab shows all land chunks across the expedition world as a grid of tiles. Each tile represents a 5×5 plot chunk.

Chunks are color-coded by ownership:

• Green — Your Land (chunks you own)
• Blue — Owned by other players
• Grey — Available for purchase

Click any chunk tile to zoom in and view its plots — including biome distribution, tier, and owner info. From the zoom view you can also start expeditions on available plots.

Tip: Use the Refresh button to reload the world map and see newly purchased or claimed chunks.

You can purchase entire land chunks (5×5 = 25 plots) in the My Lands → Buy Land tab. Each chunk costs a flat price paid in one of four currencies:

• LIMITLESS — Default pricing
• STARBITS — Alternative currency
• HASHSCORE — Alternative currency
• SWAP.HIVE — Alternative currency

Select your preferred currency from the dropdown and browse available chunks. Each chunk card shows:

• The chunk coordinates and a mini-map of plots colored by biome
• Number of plots and unique biomes
• Mining fee percentage (if previously owned)
• Purchase price in the selected currency

My Land Mining lets you run expeditions on your own plots — just like the public Expedition Grid, but on land you own. You get the full reward with no mining fee deduction.

To start mining on your land:

1. Go to My Lands → My Land Mining
2. You'll see a grid of all your owned chunks. Click a chunk to zoom in.
3. The zoomed view shows all plots in that chunk, color-coded by biome, with tier and variant indicators.
4. Click an available plot (not on cooldown, no active expedition) to start an expedition with your tool and fighter.

Each plot has a cooldown after claiming — the cooldown duration matches the expedition duration (minimum 5 minutes). Plots on cooldown are marked visually and cannot be used until the timer expires.

The same rules apply as public expeditions: biome affinities, plot variants (Rich/Unstable), adjacency bonuses, fighter bonuses, and tool durability consumption all work identically.

Tip: Since you own the land, you keep 100% of rewards — no mining fees paid to other landowners. This makes your own land the most profitable place to mine long-term!

If you own land chunks, you can earn passive income by setting a mining fee that other players pay when they run expeditions on your land.

Manage your chunks in My Lands → Manage:

• Each chunk shows its stats: plot count, average tier, owned since date, and pending fee earnings.
• Set a mining fee percentage (typically 1–50%) for each chunk using the input field.
• Click Save to update the fee. It takes effect immediately for new expeditions.

How fee earnings work:

• When another player runs an expedition on one of your plots, they pay the mining fee from their rewards.
• Accumulated fees appear as pending claims in your Manage tab.
• Fee earnings can be claimed periodically (check the Overview dashboard for claim counts).

The Overview dashboard shows you at a glance: chunks owned, total plots, average tier, pending fee claims, earliest land ownership date, highest tier, and biome distribution.

Tip: Higher-tier chunks with good biome diversity are the most valuable to other miners.

In future updates, land owners will be able to earn LIMITLESSX tokens. LIMITLESSX tokens have a maximum supply of 1 million and will be used for future features such as governance, land upgrades, buildings and special defense.
