For this step, it's crucial to be adequately prepared. Once initiated, you'll find yourself committed and unable to switch to other activities seamlessly. The Auto Survey action extends beyond your current visibility range, disregarding any boosts you've obtained. Therefore, it's essential to carefully consider any ongoing costs, such as those related to the Township, as there will be limited opportunities for earning fresh income during this process. Additionally, attempting to reveal the full map without following the outlined steps is not recommended. You may encounter difficulties fully exploring the map due to levelling requirements. | For this step, it's crucial to be adequately prepared.

With all of the Temporary <span style="color:green">-2% Survey Interval</span> POIs fully Surveyed, it's time to Discover all of them without traveling to any unnecessary hexes in between. These boosts will only last for 10 moves and there are 8 POIs (+2 if you chose to decrease travel costs). Even though you have 2 spare moves, it is important you do not waste these. You will need to move once at Level 100 and again after fully Surveying the North East corner.

Start Auto Surveying at | Start Auto Surveying at {{Hex|26|8}}. This will require you to Survey {{Hex|28|9}} and {{Hex|27|8}} first. To ensure that Auto Survey covers the higher-level hexes at the top of the map and extends the survey beyond your current visibility level, it's crucial not to interrupt the auto-surveying process while it is idling. Occasionally, you will see POI prompts appear and for these you should click "View Later" to avoid moving from this position. At Level 90 you will want to restart the Auto Survey at {{Hex|28|12}} so the Level 90 Hexes around {{Hex|30|16}} get Surveyed. Levels 85 and 99 unlock 2 more [[{{PAGENAME}}#Ship_Upgrades|Ship Upgrades]]. | ||

Ideally you want to be active here so you can immediately move when {{POIIcon|The Edge of Darkness}} at {{Hex|31|0}} is fully surveyed so that you can benefit from this Hex immediately. Moving to {{Hex|31|0}} will unlock the Shop Purchase, {{UpgradeIcon|Cartographer's Knowledge}} for {{GP|50000000}}. Traveling to this hex will also cost up to {{GP|50000000}}. | ||

You can start Auto Survey from one of the hexes near to your current position. Depending on how much of the map is already surveyed so far, it is unlikely that you will want to move from Hex {{Hex|31|0}} because the temporary travel bonuses should still be active, which will continue to greatly reduce your survey interval. | ||
