Searching a zone
It is possible to start scavenging in any given zone outside the town. Scavenging allows you to discover objects which can either be used where you are or be taken back to the town. You can only search each zone once per day. Scavengers have a higher search rate than anyone else.
Auto-Search
As soon as you have searched a zone, you immediately activate Auto-Search mode. From that point, if you stay in that zone, you will automatically search the zone every 2 hours. You don't need to keep your browser on the page, you can simply come back later and see what you have found.
If you leave the zone, your automatic search will be interrupted and cannot be resumed in that zone for the remainder of the day. You can always start again in another zone.
A scavenger will need a half hour less to auto search.
Depleted Zones
Zones eventually run out of supplies and become
Depleted Zones. Each day zones in one of 8 directions have a chance of replenishing. The
Searchtower reveals this direction, and upgrading it will increase the chance that a zone will regenerate.
Special Zones
Blueprints
Blueprints are found by camping in buildings. There are four types of blueprints:
Construction Blueprint (common),
Construction Blueprint (uncommon),
Construction Blueprint (rare),
Construction Blueprint (very rare!). Each unlocks a building out of a set of buildings, the rarer ones unlocking better buildings and common ones unlocking typical ones. They are also found in
Worn Leather Bag,
Architect's Chest,
Sealed Architect's Chest, and several are found on the ground without need for searching.
Outside buildings
When travelling through the World Beyond, you will discover buried buildings. These must be excavated before they can be explored. These ruins are overflowing with special, rare and sometimes dangerous objects. Perhaps they could save the citizens from certain death ?
