How to Unlock Map in StarRupture
You will need 1500 Data Points to reach level 3 in Moon Energy Corporation in the Corporate Terminal. After reaching level 3, you will see the option to claim the Map under Moon Energy Corporation.
Unlike other unlocks, you don’t need to gather Basic Building Materials to build the map; it is a feature that can be opened almost immediately after claiming it. You use the key “M” on your keyboard to open up the map to see all the surroundings and keep track of many interesting landmarks.
On the map, if you takea look at the left panel, you will see all the Legend options that include your buildings and all points of interest in the area. All explored areas will automatically get revealed on the map, while the unexplored areas will be covered in shadows. This will help farming for useful materials like Titanium ore in StarRupture that much easier.
You can use the shadows as an indicator to head into the uncharted areas of the map to accidentally stumble upon something new. Once you explore an interesting landmark, the map will save the spot so you can come back to the place later on.
