All 11 layers
The full game’s current Layers reference lists eleven layers: descend to the cargo on layer ten, then climb layer eleven toward the surface. A separate wiki overview still says twelve; that discrepancy is retained below rather than turned into an invented extra underground layer.
11 or 12
Steam and the publisher advertise eleven layers, matching the current Layers article. The separate Miraheze overview says twelve. Its count differs; no source read for this review establishes an exact reconciliation. The current route has layer ten as the deepest cargo location and layer eleven as the upward final ascent.
Shared rules
- Layer height 300 m. 1 tile = 0.3 m. Gravity 16.5 m/s², about 1.7 times Earth. One wiki source.
- 40 percent chance of a layer modifier, except layer 10, which never rolls one.
- Default layer time limit 60 minutes (run setting, range 1–300). Relaxed 120, Paradise 180.
- The radiation line enforces the timer. Default drop is 0.45 m/s, 0.09 m/s while you are unconscious.

Layer 1
Gravel Lands is the first preparation area, with shade crawlers and basic traps. The current wiki now supplies simplified ambient-temperature curves for layers one through nine, replacing this guide’s earlier missing-data statement. These are published default curve values, not live measurements; layers ten and eleven have no numeric temperature panel in the source read.
Layer 4 radiation
Wasteland is the radioactive layer. The creature cell is empty in the notes. Traps include the sound cannon and spent fuel. This is the hazard the home panel points at.
Endless and the exit
On layer 10 you take the cargo and ride a drill pod up. In Endless the cargo sends you back to layer 1 instead of an ending. Layer 11 is a climb to the surface after the drill pod fails. The demo only has five layers and, per the wiki trivia, going below layer 5 loops you into Deeper Gravel Lands.
Questions
How long is one layer?
The default run setting is 60 minutes. Relaxed is 120 and Paradise is 180. The radiation line is what enforces it.
How many layers are there?
11 on Steam and on the publisher page. The wiki home page says 12. I print both.
