🔔 The Bell Goes Silent: Random Rewards Replace Scheduled Events
**The Bell** reward system has been completely redesigned to eliminate time-based advantages and reward active players regardless of timezone.
**Key Changes:**
- **No more schedules**: The Bell now triggers randomly on every successful extraction (Classic or Quick, any size)
- **Three reward tiers**: MINI (scales with run size), JACKPOT (Discord announcement), and MEGA (full chamber payout)
- **Instant rewards**: Cargo appears in spendable balance immediately upon extraction
- **Risk-free**: Your fleet, Workers, and fuel return intact—the Bell only adds, never takes
- **Activity-driven**: More corridor activity means more Bell triggers
**Previous System:**
The Bell evolved from 2 fixed daily rings (02:00 and 14:00 UTC) to 8 random 5-minute mini-bells throughout the day, with per-run caps reduced from 5,000 to 1,000 to distribute rewards more broadly.
**The New Approach:**
Instead of waiting for scheduled windows, players now have a chance at rewards with every extraction. Larger expeditions earn proportionally bigger rolls, but all active players are eligible regardless of when they play.
The system aims to reward consistent gameplay rather than timezone luck.
