Condition & Repair
Mining hardware wears while it earns. Learn every condition, active-mining lifespan, repair rule, and inventory restriction.
The condition ladder
| Condition | Lifespan used | Output | Repair? | Trade? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mint | — | 100% | No | Yes |
| Clean | 0–40% | 100% | Yes | No |
| Dusty | 40–70% | 85% | Yes | No |
| Hot | 70–100% | 70% | Yes | No |
| Fried | 100% | 0% | No | No |
Mint becomes Clean on its first earning tick
When wear advances
- • Wear advances only while the rig is operational and earning.
- • Wear pauses when a rig is missing a required working part or otherwise not earning. Closing the game does not pause an operational rig.
- • Rig Builder shows mining time to the next condition, not ordinary calendar time.
- • Consumables, skins, packs, vouchers, and tickets do not degrade.
Active-mining lifespan
These are active mining days from first use until Fried. Higher rarity generally lasts longer.

Repairing hardware
Clean, Dusty, and Hot hardware can be repaired with $COMPUTE. Accumulated wear resets to zero and the item returns to Mint. Your repair quote is shown before payment.
Fried is permanent

Mounting, inventory, and trading
- • Mint, Clean, Dusty, and Hot copies can be mounted. Fried copies cannot.
- • One available condition mounts immediately; several conditions let you choose on the item card.
- • Unmounting and remounting preserves exact accrued mining time and never lowers the repair price.
- • Auto Build prefers Mint, then Clean, Dusty, and Hot.
- • Marketplace listings, Arena offers, free transfers, and Upgrade Vault inputs require Mint condition.
When a part fries
A Fried required part counts as an empty slot and can stop the whole rig from earning. It stays visible until cleared through the Fried-item flow.
Fried hardware has no mining or trading use, but it can be moved into the Recycle Bin. Once the bin contains at least 10 items, recycle the batch for SP.
