Whilst the map the player is dropped into is randomly generated at world creation, eventually exploring the map will prove vitally important to securing further resources, e.g. [[Iron ore]], [[Copper ore]].
 
At current there are only two methods to exploring the world. This is either through the use of a [[Radar]], or simply by searching the area using your character, though [[Enemies]] may be a hazard for any explorers.
