MOTHER LODE
Dig deep. Strike rich.
Five sites. Eighteen machines. A fixed pool of $GREEN that shrinks a little every day — and a jackpot you can't see until you pull the rig. The same token every GreenLifeGame title shares, inside its own mining economy.
Mining, with a jackpot you can't watch.
Mother Lode is the platform's Medium tier — a step up from Simple Farmer's clean grow loop, a step short of GREEN LIFE's full economy. You buy in once, deploy rigs across five sites, and every rig earns its share of a fixed pool while it works. Three quarters of what it earns streams straight to your balance. The last quarter feeds a crit-dig pool your rig rolls against, blind — and you don't find out what it struck until you pull it out of the ground.
Deploy → Mine → Pull → Cash in.
One buy-in opens the whole operation and rips your starter pack on the spot. Every rig you put underground raises your share of the daily pool — and starts rolling for crit-digs on its own cooldown, silently.
Get a rig
Equipment only enters the game through chests. A chest you buy opens on the spot; free ones — the daily chest, gifts, prizes — wait sealed in your bag, and a sealed chest can never be sold.
Put it to work
Pick a site and deploy. Each Earth site takes a different slice of the daily pool, and that slice is re-rolled on a hidden schedule — so it pays to check which ground is running hot.
Pull it out
Every rig is used once — pulling it ends its run. Whatever it struck lands in your wallet within seconds. Pull too early and the winnings shrink, or vanish entirely.
The crit-dig is blind, and that's the design.
A deployed rig's winnings are invisible until you pull it. There is no running total anywhere in the game, deliberately — a visible counter turns a jackpot into a spreadsheet, and the whole point is not knowing.
Four sites on Earth, and one that isn't.
The four Earth sites split 80% of each day's emissions, every site drawing a different share of it, re-rolled on a schedule you can't see the end of. A site running hot pays more per unit of Mining Power than a cold one — the map is a decision, not scenery. The crit-dig pool is the exception: it splits evenly and permanently across all five sites, every single day, and the heat roll never touches it.
The Quarry
Open-pit surface rock. Where every operation starts.
Crystal Caverns
Deep mineral seams under the ice.
Deep Shaft
Hard rock, hot ground, the real depths.
Abyssal Trench
4,800 m down — polymetallic nodules on the sea floor.
The Moon
South pole, permanent shadow, −233 °C. Its own rules entirely.
Eighteen rigs, every one a real machine.
No invented hardware and no crypto-mining flavour anywhere — these are real metal-mining machines, from a crew with hand tools up to a bucket-wheel excavator, plus three pieces of genuine NASA lunar equipment you can only run on the Moon. A rig's Mining Power sets its share of the pool; its cooldown sets how often it rolls for a crit-dig; its cycle is how long a full run takes before it needs pulling.

VIPER
RASSORPRIME-1, VIPER and RASSOR are all real NASA lunar hardware. They work at full strength on the Moon and can go nowhere else — and an Earth rig sent up there runs at half power.
The Moon plays by its own rules.
Lunar south-pole ice mining, in crater floors that have never seen sunlight sitting beside rims in near-permanent daylight — the coldest measured places in the solar system. Everything about the Moon is a trade.
Rarer hits, bigger pay
Crit-digs land less often up here, but every one pays triple.
No boosts, ever
Nothing you can buy speeds up a lunar rig. The Moon is immune to the entire boost system.
A fixed 20%
The Moon never joins the daily heat roll. It always takes a fixed 20% of each day's emissions, shared only by the rigs working up there.
One shared token, its own fixed pool.
Mother Lode earns from a 200B $GREEN emissions pool — its own slice of the platform's fixed 1 trillion supply, in its own vault. The pool releases 0.05% of whatever remains each day, so it decays smoothly and never quite empties. Your earnings are your share of total network Mining Power, which means a bigger rig helps you and not the pool: making every machine more powerful would just raise the denominator too.
Fixed and shared
1 trillion $GREEN minted once across the whole platform, then never again. Mother Lode's 200B is its own vault — no game's contract ever touches another's.
Spend it, burn it
Every $GREEN spent inside the game is burned forever. Supply only ever shrinks.
Mining takes time to cash in
Earnings accrue every second, but the Claim button waits three hours between uses — the one mechanic that's Mother Lode's alone.
Not live yet — and we won't pretend otherwise.
Mother Lode is in active development. Nothing here touches Solana yet, there is no $GREEN token in existence, and no part of this game takes real money today. When that changes, it will change here first.
