How to Manage, Link, and Close Rifts

Why Rifts Appear

Whenever you place a dimensional door, it establishes a rift behind the frame. If that dimensional door is later broken or destroyed, the tear in reality remains behind as an exposed rift—visible as a dark, swirling cluster of black particles. Left unmanaged, rifts can grow over time, so keeping rift tools on hand is essential when remodeling a base or moving doors.

Using Rift Tools

Four specialized tools let you control, travel through, or erase rifts without placing standard doors:

  • Rift Remover: Right-click an unwanted rift with this tool to close the tear completely and clear the black particles from your build.
  • Rift Stabilizer: If you want to keep an exposed rift in place without letting it spread, use the Rift Stabilizer on it to stop its growth.
  • Rift Blade: Allows you to enter an exposed rift directly without needing to place a dimensional door over it first.
  • Rift Signature: Lets you create a pair of linked rifts between two different locations. Use it at your starting point and again at your destination to set up a two-way shortcut for quick travel.
