Back with my second released map. This one is also quite challenging, but in a different way than The Algorithm. It requires some careful micromanagement, while puzzles play only a minor role.
Map Name: The Schism
Back Story: A Rock Raider was separated from two others by a lava stream that had suddenly erupted from under the surface of the cavern. The three Raiders were part of a lightly equipped expeditionary force tasked with recovering a Hover Scout.
Map Objective: Reunite the Raiders and evacuate them from the rapidly growing lava lake. Help them find their way back to the HQ to the South, and bring the Hover Scout to the HQ. Scans indicate the presence of Lava Monsters near the HQ; be prepared to defend it.
Difficulty: Hard / Very Hard

Patch: http://www.rockraidersunited.com/files/dl-r114/
Manual: https://ore.rockraidersunited.org/legacy/TheSchism_407462.zip
Manual Installation: Put the folder TheSchism in Levels and replace Level22 in Lego.cfg by the supplied code. (It's wise to backup Lego.cfg first, in case you want to undo installation).
Note:
- It is recommended that you play this with unupgraded raiders. If you play it with upgraded raiders, the difficulty is easy/medium.
- you will not automatically win the level once you have brought the Hover Scout to the HQ. This is because I could not find a way to do this with the game's script commands. You can use a debug key (Ctrl+S) to win if you want.
