How to access the DLC content

Hi everyone!

We've been getting a lot of questions on how to actually access the DLC portion of the Campaign.

The Story portion of this Expansion is integrated with the Main Campaign from the base edition of The Riftbreaker. The new branch and the contents of the expansion will unlock as you progress through the game. You need to complete at least one other story branch (for example, the entire desert storyline). The quickest way to do it is to set up a cobalt mining outpost and complete all objectives there.

If you have previously completed The Riftbreaker Story Campaign, you can continue your adventure where you left off. The additional part of the Story will unlock immediately, giving you the option to explore the new part of the world.

After all conditions are met (and you are not blocked by being on another mission), the DLC start event will take place on the Headquarters map.

Hope this helps.

For those players who have reached the end game, we're just screwed? I've been playing trying to get the DLC to trigger, and nothing happens. This DLC is a bug riddled mess, borderline scam.

I had completed the game too. When I logged in at my HQ nothing happened. I had to map to one of my resource outpost then back for it to kick off.

Sorry for your negative experience. As stated in the post, you can access the DLC content after finishing the game.

We're working on several fixes for the bugs. Expect a patch soon.

amazing game and dlc. i did not know there was any campaign tie-ins. i thought it was just playable in survival.

you guys should add some tooltips for the main menu or campaign button, at least on the DLC banner letting the people know where to find the content. i personally beat the campaign first then i downloaded the dlc. if i had knew ahead of time it was integrated in to the campaign i prolly would have bought it first for a solid full playthrough experience.

i would also like to add: perhaps a tooltip on the prologue button too. thankfully i happened upon a KatherineOfSky youtube video and she just happen to mention thats like the demo of the game.

Oh and while i have your ear! moar tooltips! like on damage types on weapons in the inventory not just an icon (it would help the learning curve), or a detailed list of current buffs/stats in the inventory.

great work, great game!

It seems on GeForce NOW the content is downloaded to the virtual machine AFTER the main game is launched. So I would imagine any applications changes that needs to apply and might require a game reboot isn't applied. Anyway to deal with it on GeForce Now?

I just finished my first campaign. It was one I started pre-expansion. I've tried finishing with both endings. I'm now running around the map after not going through the portal, have completed almost all of the research and crafted just about everything I can, still no prompt to go to the new area.

Can you provide an update on this?

i just played my 2nd time thrrugh the campaign and still have NEVER ONCE been offered any DLC missions... this game is awesome but its a mess from a progression standpoint. I really recommend you go back and playtest the game yourselves... while its very addicting and one of the most refreshing games I've played in years... it really really needs some balance... especially the tech tree and the order content is presented to you. You shouldnt be on the last level tech without every being able to build even the first iteration of something. Hats off to a fun game but needs a lot of TLC from Devs. keep up the good work I'm sure it will get there.

There is really no DLC to access. How to access DLC?

There really is no on or off switch for the DLC. It is all directly integrated into the game.

1新增改生物颜色这个选项，有些人红绿分不清，也有些人喜欢其他颜色怪。也可以增加新鲜感。甚至可以更改生物模型这个选项。
2雨林图可以增加多种瀑布，这样的风景，并且提供可用水源。还可以发电。（主要好看）
3可以增加其他可以净化液体的装置，选择多样化。培养装置可以用泥浆更合理。
4增哨所数量上限
5提高太阳能和风能最高等级
6新增海洋星球，在岛里做基地或者悬浮板做基地

I know im a bit late to respond, but I am at the end of the game and still haven't had any notification about starting the dlc. I know that there is supposed to be a meteor that crashes, but nothing has come, even after hours waiting in HQ with only the only objective left being to activate the rift station

Is there a cheat to spawn the meteor? Some sort of developer code to force it to happen?

I'm having the same issue not being able to trigger the DLC event. I have an old save at the end of the game. I just bought the DLC. I've waited a few hours and no meteor event happens.

Same issue here. Just bought the Metal Terror DLC and couldn't get it to trigger after loading an endgame save. Started in an outpost and jumped back to the main base, but even after playing for an hour or so, nothing happened. (Had at least one comet crash to the surface, but that was just a regular resource one).
