A confirmed pre-release GRAIN ROT mission and event index for the 1.0 quest flow, elevator runs, boss and elite encounters, biomes and Outpost activities.
Official material confirms a complete 1.0 quest flow, procedurally shifting descents, survivor rescue, a boss, elite encounters, two new biomes and elevator modifiers. It does not publish mission names, objective order or trigger conditions.

Mission list status
There is no official numbered mission list yet. The developer’s launch announcement says the August 7 build includes a complete 1.0 quest flow, but does not name its quests or show their order. The current store confirms the repeatable survival loop around that flow: descend through shifting ruins, salvage, avoid or fight the Corrupted, rescue survivors, extract, and rebuild the Outpost.
This page therefore uses an activity and encounter index. It prevents a broad feature list from being misrepresented as “Mission 1, Mission 2,” and gives the live build a clean template to fill later.
Confirmed activity index
| Activity / event | Official objective or behavior | Persistence | Status boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elevator descent | Ride into procedurally shifting underground ruins | Run-based | Core store feature |
| Salvage run | Remove furniture, gather resources and gold value | Loot must be extracted | Core store feature |
| Survivor rescue | Find survivors trapped in the Deep Layers | Supports Outpost progression | Core store feature; formal quest status unknown |
| Vessel recovery | As a Spark, find and possess another host before fading | Run-based | Core store feature |
| Team extraction | Return with hauled loot; full-team break loses the haul | Feeds persistent Outpost | Core store feature |
| Complete 1.0 quest flow | Full-release progression path | Unknown | Announced for August 7 |
| Boss encounter | A boss added beyond the demo content | Unknown | Announced; name and trigger unknown |
| Elite encounters | Higher-tier encounter set | Unknown | Announced; count and triggers unknown |
| Two new biomes | New environments with ambience music | Run / quest relationship unknown | Announced for 1.0 |
| Elevator modifiers | Change descent conditions | Likely run-specific, not officially detailed | Announced for 1.0 |
| New Outpost NPCs | New base characters | Persistent role unknown | Announced for 1.0 |
The repeatable run structure
The reliable structure begins at the Outpost. A crew takes the cursed elevator into ruins that shift procedurally. Players rip out furniture, scavenge, improvise with physics and manage the threat of Corrupted vessels. Going deeper worsens the Rot and raises risk. If a vessel breaks, its Spark can stay in the run, guide allies and seek a replacement body. If everyone breaks, the carried loot is lost.
Successful extraction returns resources to the Outpost, where furniture, stat upgrades and rescued survivors enable deeper future descents. That loop is confirmed. Floor counts, guaranteed objectives, quest markers and extraction quotas are not.
1.0 quest flow versus procedural runs
“Complete 1.0 quest flow” proves that launch has a designed progression path. “Procedurally shifting underground dungeons” proves that run layouts can vary. Official material does not describe how the fixed story and random layers meet. A quest may persist between descents, choose a biome, require an extracted object or trigger at the Outpost—but those are possibilities, not confirmed rules.
At launch, each mission record must capture the exact title, giver, displayed objective, required biome or layer, whether progress survives a wipe, completion reward and build. Without those fields, the page will continue to show only the confirmed system boundary.
Boss, elite and biome events
The official 1.0 list includes new enemies, a boss encounter and elite encounters. It also promises two new biomes and new elevator modifiers. No source above names the boss, elites, biomes or modifiers. There is no official weakness, spawn condition or reward table.
This matters for search results: a promotional image or community nickname is not enough to create a formal encounter record. The monster guide remains behavior-based until names appear in the live build.
Outpost events and NPCs
Rescued survivors and new Outpost NPCs are distinct confirmed categories. The store says rescued survivors are part of base progression; the launch post says new NPCs arrive in 1.0. It does not say every NPC is a quest giver, vendor or survivor. The second Outpost floor, more constructs, player leveling and the enchantment and repair machine may support mission progression, but exact unlock triggers are unknown.
For inventory boundaries use the weapons and items database. For persistent base facts use the Outpost guide. This list will become numbered only after the August 7 build shows real mission titles and ordering.
