Wasteland Watcher Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 In this sandbox I've been on Mystery Lake 70 days and discovered (I think) all named locations. The "world explored" stat reads that I've discovered 22% of the map. Do you have to literally walk on every part of the map to "discover" all of it?

illanthropist Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 No, only named locations trigger the update to stats when you get the HUD message saying new area. 22%? I was sure after exploring all of Mystery Lake it hit 20%, have you been to another zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong with 20% then, I'm wondering if they are calculated differently i.e finding the Logging Camp area updates the % explored but entering all 3 buildings there count to the location amount and not % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyzara Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The different main maps all contain a different number of locations. The overall percentages thus aren't 20% each, but vary quite a lot. The Ravine e.g. doesn't have a single location that triggers a discovery whereas Coastal Highway has more than 40. TheBugfixer and me tried to count the number of locations that cause a "new discovery" message to fade in some time ago (the related post is in the German subforums). Here are our results: DP: 16 Crumbling Highway: 5 CH : 42 Ravine: 0 ML: 35 Winding River : 1 PV : 38 (of which 4 failed to trigger the overall counter) TWM : 22 Can't promise that these numbers are 100% correct (counting all fade-ins is pretty tedious and I sometimes lost concentration to be honest), some areas might thus contain one location more or less than in this list. But it's definitely a starting point and can probably give you some valuable orientation if you want to explore everything yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland Watcher Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Interesting. Thanks guys At this point I'll assume that the % of map discovered is referring to all zones. I have a loooong way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm preparing to leave so moved out of Camp Office. I've consolidated all the metal, medical supplies, & tools I found into one area and when I get down to my last two hunting knives and one hatchet I will leave mystery lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
