How much of the map "exists" without exploring?

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

How much of the map "exists" without exploring?

Post by AngledLuffa »

I have a reasonably large base (3K SPM) where I haven't fully explored the pollution cloud. I don't want to drastically increase the size of the save file or hurt the UPS. Is it safe to explore the entire pollution cloud without affecting either of those parameters? My guess is yes, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks!

Your guess is correct. You can explore all chunks within your pollution cloud without increasing anything, except what you can see.

Excellent, thank you!

Found a giant lake which explains why the SE never saw any biters. Everywhere else is two laser turrets deep with flamethrowers sprinkled in, and 1/4th of the wall is just sitting there wondering what the big fuss is about
