Nodes
Expedition Map
The Expedition Map is a tool at the players' disposition to plan out their expeditions and choose which set of nodes they would like to encounter. It is available from the start of each stage and throughout the entire run. The set of selected nodes will match the one displayed through the progress bar at the top of the players' screen, giving full insight on how expeditions will go and letting players strategize for upcoming events. Note that within a party of 2 or more players, only the party leader will be able to modify the expedition path.
Expedition Hub
The Expedition Hub serves as the central headquarters for every expedition. Here, players can prepare for upcoming journeys by strengthening their roster, upgrading equipment, conducting research, and gathering valuable resources. Each facility features multiple upgrade levels that unlock new functionality or enhance existing features, providing increasingly powerful benefits as players progress.
