Editing Expeditions

'''Expeditions''' are missions in ''[[Project Rebearth]]'' that allow players to explore unclaimed territory on the map. The player draws a freeform polygon to select the area, and the expedition costs {{Icon|Food}}, {{Icon|Knowledge}}, and population based on its size. Upon completion, expeditions yield {{Icon|Scrap}} and a random basic resource ({{Icon|Wood}}, {{Icon|Stone}}, {{Icon|Earth}}, or {{Icon|Glass}}). Players can run multiple expeditions at the same time.

Exploring territory also contributes to the total explored area, which unlocks animals {{C|[[Goat]], [[Sheep]], and [[Cow]]}} at certain thresholds.

== Costs ==
Expedition costs scale linearly with the area selected. {{Icon|Food}} and {{Icon|Knowledge}} are deducted upfront when the expedition is launched. Population is locked for the duration of the expedition and returned when it finishes. The following table shows costs per 10,000,000 m².

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Cost !! Per 1,000 hectares !! Notes
|-
| Duration || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=duration}}*10000000/86400}} day || Base duration before distance bonus
|-
| Population || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=pop}}*10000000}} || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=pop}}*1000000000}} people per 100,000 hectares; locked during expedition
|-
| {{Icon|Knowledge}} || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=knowledge}}*10000000}} || Deducted upfront when launching
|-
| {{Icon|Food}} || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=food}}*10000000}} || Deducted upfront when launching
|}
</div></div>

An additional '''{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=costs|data=distance}} hour''' is added to the expedition duration for every kilometer between the expedition area and the player's settlement. This distance bonus means nearby expeditions complete faster than distant ones.

== Yields ==
Expeditions guarantee base yields that scale with the area explored. The following table shows yields per 1,000 hectares.

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Yield !! Per 1,000 hectares !! Description
|-
| {{Icon|Scrap}} || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=yields|data=scrap}}*10000000}} || Old-world remnants found while exploring
|-
| Basic resource || {{#expr:{{BuildingData|section=expeditions|name=yields|data=basicResource}}*10000000}} || Random {{Icon|Wood}}, {{Icon|Stone}}, {{Icon|Earth}}, or {{Icon|Glass}} gathered en route
|}
</div></div>

== Animal unlocks ==
The total area a player has explored through expeditions determines when [[Goat|animals]] become available. Each animal type unlocks at a specific cumulative threshold.

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Animal !! Explored area required
|-
| [[Goat]] || 100 km²
|-
| [[Sheep]] || {{formatnum:1000}} km²
|-
| [[Cow]] || {{formatnum:10000}} km²
|}
</div></div>

Once unlocked, the animal type becomes available to raise in [[Field|fields]] across the settlement. For more details, see the individual animal articles.
