Hidden areas on every moon, scouting, hidden foraging spots and critters.
Scouting
Each moon is split into areas that start hidden under fog. Scouting one costs 10 Focus and takes 10 minutes. Your bug can’t be on an expedition at the same time.
When it comes back, the area is revealed for good and pays once: 2× the average Amber of a Short expedition at the best site your level allows there, that expedition’s XP, and a find (the area’s cache, or a piece of the moon’s collectible set).
Some areas hide a foraging spot that only exists once you’ve found it.
Exploring a whole moon gives a title: “Pathfinder of Ganymede”, “Pathfinder of Europa”, “Pathfinder of Io”, “Pathfinder of Callisto”.
