I wouldn't even bother until you actually need it. Right now it's better to clear empty tiles to get more space for habitats.
If you leave the buildings in the rift, they don't take up any of that valuable real estate.
I do need it though. I need to change some of my dragons' elements to breed for the Rift dragons. I'm also only breeding a maximum of two times a day in the rift, so I'm not getting that many new dragons and I don't really need that much space. I've cleared more than enough while looking for my tower for all my habitats at the moment.
On an unrelated note, I've just bred a Gamma dragon with a Metal trait in the rift, but every time I try to hatch it, my game freezes. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've managed to hatch the Gamma using my Mum's Samsung Galaxy, but now I can't even load my park on my Kindle. I'm going to try and contact BFS, but I'm not hopeful as I've emailed them once before and I never got a reply. Are any other Kindle users having these problems, or is it just me?
....and a few days later, my head is still spinning. 😂 It's like a rollercoaster ride....was feeling overwhelmed, then started thinking the rift wasn't so bad afterall, then cleared enough miasmic slop that the next one will now cost 2,125, or some such ridiculous amount, and my hate fire ignited once more.....then today I finally got a Ghast.
I was aghast at getting a Ghast because I had nowhere to put it. 😂 I have a ton of habitats (though not Magpac or tretrising tons, but lots nonetheless). Sigh.
Breathe
P.S. after all that cleared slop....I still have not found a thing in it.
Yep, hate fire might win out. 😂🔥

Another day of fails before I discovered I had muddled up the traits in Arkynos' formula
Oops! Sorry.
Has anyone successfully bred an opposite dragon in the Rift yet? We've been assuming they're bred with say, Light Rift and a Dark hybrid in the Rift cave but I've been poking around in my friends' parks (some really cool variants you've got!) and I don't think I've seen one yet. Has anyone seen any in the wild, or confirmation they can be bred that way?
With Zaffer and Viririan both requiring them I imagine it's probably just that they're rare, but after telling everyone to breed for them like that the confirmation would be nice.

I'm beginning to appreciate the value of filling the ginormous island 🌴 with Rainbow habitats to keep up with these Rifty appetites!
I'm going to be able to fill a couple of Treasure habitats with Platinum fails - (this is a half-a**ed whine for a Solarflare pedestal).
And I'm loving the "Bathmat" for the chance at leveling up the Rifty ones without spending DC (and food for failures!)
Although I find E to be the most simple abbreviation for Etherium, I can see that it has negative connotations. Will settle for Kiwichris 's "Eth" cause I like the lisp-y quality.

Ha! And I've been trying to work out how to mess w @sbf's E3M, by using 'theta' instead of 'sigma' 😜 But theta is hard, circle w horizontal line thru it, and even if there is Greek symbol keyboard, can't see mesel switching just for that one letter, sigh and can't find it in my emoji menu either.... might have to stick w Eth 😉
you mean this?? Σ3M ? Hahah I like it even more. 😈

Ooo good but no, you've used sigma! see I'm word oriented not math, so I was looking for E (first letter) then sign for theta which is the Rifted circle ( lol) then M so it was like an abbreviation of the word etherium , but no, having written that out, too cryptic of me I think now. ha again! But I like that w sigma as an 'e' ooooo really good! E3M is achievable for most keyboards... If I add Greek I'll be forever editing out Spanish and Greek intrusions into worlds lol, bad nough when I click on Spanish and get several sentences in without realising it 😆

I have all 11 treat farms, and I've been just doing 3k every 24 hrs for maintenance, but now that's not making it! I'm currently trying to figure out how much I can grow with my current gold input so it can be sustainable. Haven't gotten that worked out yet. I was really disappointed when I used Karios and my treat farms didn't change. They always have before. Personally, I'm rather annoyed with how this is going. Looks to me like Backflip is out to make money at our expense. Not a happy camper!
I plant 3 Beanstalk and rotate the other 8 between 2 or 6 hour crops depending on time of day seems to work best for me.

This is pretty much what I do. 3 Beanstalk and the rest are the Blushrooms (2 H) or the Plumpmelons (6 H crop)
Thanks, I'll try the beanstalk/2hr or 4hr and see how that works. Pity you can't friend thru Game Center, cause I don't use Facebook. Makes me sad to have no friends😞

My income can support 11 beanstalks at a time. Trying to balance Dc usage with the hope for om of noms and fiery figs. With the way they have made food the current currency I'm fearing no om of noms.

I do the 24 hour Dragonfruit too. I am saving as much money as I can for the Fiery Figs at Thanksgiving, where I am sure I will spend a couple of billion dragon cash.

Arkynos, can you clarify please?
1) Your Rift must be aligned to Earth element to breed this. 2) Use Dark Rift + Alpenglow, or Light Rift + Voltaic. 3a) If you don't have Alpenglow/Voltaic, breed Dark/Light Rift with any other basic Rift dragon to get a Rift hybrid with a Dark/Light element. 3b) Breed the dragon you got in 3a with the other basic Light/Dark Rift dragon that you didn't use to get it.
Shouldn't this be
2a) Dark Rift+Alpenglow / Light Rift +Voltaic 2b) OR Dark/Light Rift + Basic Rift for a Rift hybrid with dark/light element?
Then 3) breed dragon in 2 a or b with the other basic Light/Dark Rift dragon?
In other words, I've got Voltaic. I'll breed Light Rift with Voltaic to get X dragon with light element, then breed X dragon with Dark Rift when the Rift is aligned to Earth?
Help me Obi-wan Arkynos. You're my only hope.

This might have already been mentioned as well but I just got 50E in a chest for my Kairos quest.
I think the E referred to in this post is perhaps the Essence which powers up Kairos to knock several hours off the breeding/hatching times every few days, NOT the etherium which we are needing in the rift.

Oct 2024; taking a break. 🐨 to all. 
Why use cap E (and M)? Just eth or e3m is even easier...Yep! Just edited myself into agreement w you! I like both Eth and E3M, Eth is much faster for me to type...
