 The "zones travelled" counter is reset to 0 overnight, and also when you drink a {{MetaInline|Water Ration}}. Because of this, people may restrict their exploration to a round-trip of 10 zones or less; this way, they do not increase their thirst through travel.  Longer expeditions will plan their order of [[food]], [[drug]], and [[water]] consumption to account for this, as well.

Also, it shows you how to get home.

-At every sector, even depleted ones, you can Search the area for materials (an {{AP}}-free action). Doing this will put you into autoscavenge mode, where you will be able to search for an item every two hours. Even in a non-depleted zone, some searches will turn up nothing. You can only search a given sector once a day. Consequently, you can only be on autoscavenge mode while you are in the sector and haven't moved. Logging out will not interrupt autoscavenging; every two hours when you would normally get another search, a pending search will accrue, and all pending searches will be resolved when you next log in.

-Certain locations will allow a second free action aside from searching the area; you will be allowed to search a special structure or building. However, like areas get depleted, buildings will get emptied out. Unlike depleted areas, which still give the chance of a low-quality material being found, emptied structures yield nothing. Camping overnight in a special zone will reward you with a [[Blueprint]] if you are the first to camp there, uncommon blueprints are received close to town and rare blueprints further away.

-Some structures will be hidden by undergrowth or debris and require clearing before they can be explored. This can be done using {{AP}} or {{MetaInline|Ness-Quick Weedkiller}}; the latter is naturally preferable.  The amount of clearing required is indicated by the number of [[File:small_dig_cpt.gif]], and can vary from roughly 5 to 20.
