About
To enjoy Rockhounds smoothly, an entry-level GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is recommended, which should handle the game at 1080p with medium settings comfortably. For those with slightly more powerful hardware, such as a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600, you can aim for higher settings while still maintaining solid frame rates. The game is designed to be accessible, making it suitable for a wide range of systems, especially given its early access status.
For optimal performance, players with mid-range GPUs can target 1440p resolution with medium to high settings, depending on the specific card and overall system configuration. High-end graphics cards, like the RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT, will allow you to push the settings even further, potentially enabling 4K gameplay with reasonable frame rates, although this may require tweaking some of the more intensive graphical options. Overall, Rockhounds is well-optimized for a variety of setups, making it easy to gather your squad and dive into the chaotic fun without needing top-tier hardware.
Performance profile
Action titles like Rockhounds reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.
Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Rockhounds. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
Storyline
EVERY DAY IS A PAYDAY In Rockhounds, no two drops are ever the same. Every mission is a fresh contract with new dangers to survive, alien worlds to strip-mine, and a massive paycheck waiting at the end. - Ever-Changing Worlds - Raid strange biomes, survive extreme weather, and overcome deadly anomalies. You’ll have to strategize and adapt to be successful (and make it out alive). - The Space Coal Rush - Mine for the universe’s most absurdly valuable resource. The more you mine, the more you earn, but the noise will bring everything from hungry creatures to rival enemy forces straight to your door. - Guns, lots of guns - Use your hard-earned money to buy the latest weapons and gear from the Megacorp catalog. If you're going to risk your life, you might as well do it with the biggest guns available. HOW TO GET PAID The drop is just the beginning. The Megacorps sent you in for one reason: to get that coal into orbit. You’ll need to work fast, build smart, and decide exactly how much your life is worth. - Start grabbing surface-ores immediately. They are used for building, and you’ll need every scrap you can find to turn a derelict mining rig into a fortress before the first wave hits. - Don't just rely on your gun. Use resources to deploy walls, turrets, and traps. Coordinate with your squad to turn the rig into a kill zone, because when the enemies arrive, there’s no room for mistakes. - As the mission heats up, the rig will take a beating. You’ll have to leave the safety of your walls to make repairs or complete high-risk side-objectives. It’s dangerous, but it’s a great way to boost your yield. - Once the silo is full, you have a choice. Launch it into orbit and call it a day, or keep digging for more. Greed is a dangerous game, one wrong move and you lose the entire haul. - Securing the Space Coal is only half the battle. As the planet literally falls apart around you, you must hold your ground until the airlift arrives. You won't get to spend a single credit unless you make it back onto your ship alive.
