Rock Bottom Biomes: All Eight Layers in the Logan Games Loop

The Steam store page for Rock Bottom (AppID 4297840) describes a full release that descends through eight unique layers. Each layer is its own biome: a procedurally generated cave system with its own ore types, hazards, and visual identity. As of the 2026-07-19 refresh, public sources name the three demo biomes, the Crystal Caverns preview, and the Orc Base 1 / Orc Base 2 travel targets introduced by the v1.0.1 patch notes.

• Demo biomes (three, playable on Steam): Sunken Canopy, Spore-Light Caverns, Static Peaks.
• Post-release preview: Crystal Caverns.
• Patch-note named Orc tier: Orc Base 1 / Orc Base 2, confirmed only as travel targets in v1.0.1.
• Remaining details: Orc ore types, hazards, palette, and exact layer ordering are not announced as of 2026-07-19.

Players who clear the original demo biomes should now treat the Orc Base names as official, but not as a complete biome spec. The patch notes confirm the travel fix, not a full Orc-tier resource table.

Sunken Canopy

Sunken Canopy is the first designed layer in Rock Bottom and the gentlest entry point into the biome stack. Dev Blog #1 describes it as the place where players hunt for gold ore among overgrown vines and flowers. The green palette and softer hazards make it the right place to learn the swing-and-smelt rhythm before the game starts punishing missed swings.

Spore-Light Caverns

Spore-Light Caverns is the second demo biome. The Dev Blog describes it as a mystical and dangerous area where neon fungi cast blue light across the cave. The headline resource here is cobalt ore, which feeds the smelter and funds the skill tree alongside the gold that Sunken Canopy already produced. Players who only want to test whether the loop clicks should at least push through this layer.

Static Peaks

Static Peaks is the third demo biome and the hardest of the three. The Dev Blog frames it as a noisy, rainy level filled with gravity wells and static discharge hazards. Static Peaks drops both iron ore and gold ore, which gives players two resource streams to feed the smelter at once. Beating Static Peaks in the demo is the practical "I get the loop" milestone.

Crystal Caverns is the first biome previewed after the demo trio. Dev Blog #1 introduces it as the next stop on the player's journey and describes a pink and purple amethyst-inspired tile set filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and a pastel palette. The new resource is crystal ore, which is unique to this biome and will eventually feed the smelter alongside gold, cobalt, and iron.

As of 2026-07-14, Crystal Caverns is not in the day-one demo and is not in the planned July 14, 2026 launch build. It is previewed only in Dev Blog #1. A new Dev Blog post, a release-day patch note, or a Steam store update would change that status, and this page will be refreshed as soon as the developer confirms a date. The dedicated Crystal Caverns page covers that status in more detail.

The July 16, 2026 v1.0.1 patch notes are the first official source on this site that names the Orc tier. They say the update fixed a bug where players were unable to travel to Orc Base 1 from Orc Base 2. That confirms both names as public Rock Bottom locations, but it does not publish ore types, hazards, visual palette, enemy list, or whether each base maps one-to-one with a full layer.

For now, treat Orc Base 1 / Orc Base 2 as confirmed named Orc destinations and keep every mechanical detail beyond the travel fix marked "not announced."

The Steam store page confirms eight unique layers in the full release. Three are named in the demo, Crystal Caverns is named in Dev Blog #1, and Orc Base 1 / Orc Base 2 are named in the v1.0.1 patch notes as travel targets. That still leaves the exact eight-layer order, resource table, and final hazard list incomplete as of 2026-07-19.

When the developer names another layer or publishes an Orc-tier biome breakdown, this page should be updated with the new theme, ore type, and availability status. Until then, treating unrevealed details as "not announced" is the only accurate answer.

• A new Dev Blog entry that names additional biomes, theme, or ore types.
• A Steam store update that lists all eight layers in the full game description.
• A patch note that ships a new biome or explains the Orc-tier layout.
• A post-release roadmap that confirms the timing of Crystal Caverns and any later layers.

Until one of those updates lands, the safe answer is that Orc Base 1 / Orc Base 2 are named locations with an officially fixed travel route, while their ore, hazard, and visual details remain unannounced.
