In a significant development for the Mines of Dalarnia community, Modbots, a key feature in the game, is set to migrate to the Chromia blockchain. This move comes as part of an effort to enhance the overall gaming experience by using Chromia’s user-friendly and efficient platform. Here’s what players need to know about the migration, the upcoming Season 4, and how it will affect gameplay.
Understanding Modbots
Modbots are specialized robots within the Mines of Dalarnia game that assist players in mining operations. To elaborate, Modbots is a feature in Mines of Dalarnia where players manage automated mining robots on the lunar surface to collect Moon Chips, which can be exchanged for DAR tokens. Players deploy three types of bots: Minerbots to gather resources, Defendbots to protect against lunar storms, and Repairbots to fix damage after storms. Each bot type is tied to specific resources, and players must strategically purchase and deploy these bots to maximize their Moon Chip collection.
Throughout each season, players face storms that can disrupt their operations, making defense and repair crucial. Success in Modbots depends on efficiently managing resources, defending against hazards, and accumulating the most Moon Chips. Rewards are distributed at the end of each season based on the player’s share of total Moon Chips collected.
Why the Move to Chromia?
The decision to migrate Modbots to Chromia is rooted in the need for a more seamless and cost-effective gaming experience. Chromia offers several advantages over the previous network, including the elimination of gas fees, which are often a burden on players. By moving to Chromia, players will no longer need to pay transaction fees when deploying Modbots, making the game more accessible and removing financial barriers that may have hindered participation.
Additionally, the migration promises faster response times and a more streamlined deployment process. Players will notice a reduction in the number of clicks required to deploy their bots, and stats will update automatically after deployment, simplifying the gameplay experience.
How to Bridge Your DAR Resources
To participate in the upcoming Season 4 on Chromia, players will need to transfer their Modbots resources from the current network to Chromia. This one-way bridge, which opens on August 29th, 2024, will enable players to move their resources in preparation for the new season.
To bridge your resources, start by visiting the Mines of Dalarnia website and connecting your game wallet. Once connected, enter the amount of resources you wish to transfer and carefully review the acknowledgment. After agreeing to the terms, click the “Bridge to Chromia” button to proceed. If you don’t already have a Chromia account, you can create one using your EVM wallet from the game. Finally, confirm the bridging process to complete the transfer. This step is essential for players who want to benefit from the smoother, fee-free experience that Chromia offers.
What to Expect in Season 4
As Modbots migrates to Chromia, Season 4 is set to launch with a strong focus on providing an improved gameplay experience. The prize pool for Season 4 remains robust, with an initial 12,500 DAR available. Players who deploy more than 90 Modbots during the season will contribute an additional 250 DAR to the prize pool, with the total prize pool potentially reaching up to 40,000 DAR.
Here are the details:
- Initial prize pool: 12,500 DAR
- Additional prize: 250 DAR for each player who deploys over 90 Modbots
- Maximum prize pool: 40,000 DAR
Even if fewer than 50 players reach the 90 Modbots goal, the minimum prize pool of 12,500 DAR is guaranteed, ensuring substantial rewards for participants.
How to Claim Rewards
After the season ends, rewards will be distributed directly to players’ Chromia wallets. The claiming window opens two days after the season concludes, and players will have 15 days to claim their rewards. Claims can be made either directly in the game or through the player’s profile on the Mines of Dalarnia website.
For players interested in trading their rewards, instructions on how to bridge DAR back to BNB from Chromia will be provided soon. However, with Modbots and other features moving to Chromia, players might want to consider keeping their DAR on Chromia for future seasons and the full game launch.
